Your HDMI Cable Leaks Your Screen: TempestSDR and AI-Enhanced Deep-TEMPEST Attacks
haydendevs · x · 2026-11-09
HDMI connections leak radio signals that can be picked up with an antenna and a HackRF, then reconstructed into recognizable screen footage using TempestSDR software — meaning a wired connection still leaves a wireless trace.
Researchers pushed this further with Deep-TEMPEST, applying AI to make recovered images and text easier to read. Reconstruction quality depends on shielding, distance, and interference, but identifiable content still gets through.
