Original research

[edit]

I have reverted a fairly large addition to this article by Veltech Digital Army and Harishmfs. Their additions consisted largely of original research which, aside from not having been properly published and peer reviewed, is likely incorrect. The article, in its form before the revision, implied that an uninfected computer could be infected with malicious code simply by receiving the acoustic signal from an infected computer, but this is untrue. The receiving computer would already need software to convert the received acoustic signal into meaningful information which it would then act on. Computers do not, by default, have software that converts incoming acoustic signals to code; this capability would only exist if the receiving computer were already infected. The only useful threat scenario for this type of malware is the presence of two or more infected computers that, after having been infected and then removed from the wired network, are still able to intercommunicate because both computers have the virus code installed.

Other projects

[edit]

Here is another project that does something similar: https://github.com/fulldecent/system-bus-radio (I made this). It is very relevant to this topic and maybe other projects/approaches are worth discussing in this article as well. Full Decent (talk) 22:14, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
