Comment on Boffins convert typing sounds into text with 95% accuracy

  ??? If you can map sound to qwerty keystroke placement, then it’s a simple matter of mono alphabetic substitution for other layouts to generate candidate texts. Using a dictionary attack to find more candidate layouts would absolutely work.

    No, all the timings change. You can’t just swap out the letters and hope it matches. Additionally I was responding to the poster claiming a dictionary attack on a password would work - only if it’s in the dictionary.

      The method is not based on timings. It is based on identifying the unique sound profile of each keystroke

        How can you make that claim? They used deep learning, does anyone know what characteristics the AI is using?
