(Typed from, yes, a PS/2 keyboard.)
Very nifty, but if it doesn't affect USB similarly, this attack is fast becoming as useful as recording an analog modem's blinky lights with a high speed video camera.

Simple fix...install an OSK on your desktop and click the letters with your mouse....
But then, you still have the wild and wooly Internet to worry about....

Well dang. That's something quite interesting... will this info cause a class action lawsuit to keyboard cable manufacturers for not ensuring a secure and unencumbered quality of service in places that might be more advantageous for snooping?
I'm just saying... seems like that could happen

Take a couple of cell phone signal booster stickers and place them on the cable. That will surely protect you.

Hmm I wonder what happens if there's any noise from other devices hooked into the grid..
E.g. if you have power strips with plugged in device chargers, + game consoles + monitors, etc..

I for one call BS on this. Of course, anyone who's anybody knows that physical access equals root. So these aren't "hacks" by the proper definition, but rather good old fashioned wire taps and physical keylogging.
