Researchers Use Advanced Technologies Such As Wi Fi And Bluetooth Chips To Solve Problems
BleepingComputer first discovered the paper describing the findings, which was published by a researcher from the University of Darmstadt and the University of Brescia titled “Attacks on Wireless Coexistence: Exploiting Cross-Technological Performance Features for Inter-Chip Privilege Escalation” (Security) and the Society for Science and Technology. The researchers say that Bluetooth chips can instantly extract network passwords and manipulate traffic on a Wi-Fi chip. The chips share valuable hardware and resources, such as the same antenna or the same wireless spectrum, although they’re technically considered separate chips....
