G+_George Kozi Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 The first thing that crossed my mind: There goes the air gap! With this thing, one could in theory mess with computers that are not even on the same network, but are in "earshot" of each other... a security nightmare.

G+_Elizabeth Whitmire Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I haven't tried it. Maybe you have to pair the computers first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_George Kozi Posted May 20, 2015 Author Share Posted May 20, 2015 I don't know... but the technology is "out of the bag" ... now the bad guys will try to "improve" it... use tones that are not even perceptible to human ears etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Chris Cannizzaro Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I wouldn't think pairing would be required, but I assume Tone would have to be installed on both browsers. Hopefully the receiving computer has to have a "listen" button pressed before the sending computer sounds the tone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
