Stefan Burschka: Datamining for Hackers
Encrypted Traffic Mining

This talk presents Traffic Mining (TM) particularly in regard to VoiP applications such as Skype. TM is a method to digest and understand large quantities of data.

Voice over IP (VoIP) has experienced a tremendous growth over the last few years and is now widely used among the population and for business purposes. The security of such VoIP systems is often assumed, creating a false sense of privacy. Stefan will present research into leakage of information from Skype, a widely used and protected VoIP application. Experiments have shown that isolated phonemes can be classified and given sentences identified. By using the dynamic time warping (DTW) algorithm, frequently used in speech processing, an accuracy of 60% can be reached. The results can be further improved by choosing specific training data and reach an accuracy of 83% under specific conditions

  • 1:50 I have my laser-pointer here I could kill you.

  • simply put: if you speak to me through skype, the data packets that reach my computer have certain properties. by analyzing these properties over time they've found out that there are certain patterns depending on what you say.

    so if i had a database full of prerecorded speech samples and i knew their patterns then i could compare them to your pattern and conclude with 60-83% accuracy what you might have said without having to decrypt the actual message.

see all
