QUACK! Making the (Rubber) Ducky Talk: A Systematic Study of Keystroke Dynamics for HID Injection Detection

This paper introduces a systematic, privacy-preserving method using keystroke dynamics to robustly distinguish between human typing and automated HID injection attacks, independent of user identity.

I can't recognize (yet): Delayed Rendering to Defeat Visual Phishing Detectors

This paper demonstrates that visual phishing detectors can be completely bypassed by employing simple timing-based attacks that delay the rendering of key webpage elements.

From Beats to Breaches:How Offensive AI Infers Sensitive User Information from Playlists

The paper introduces musicPIIrate, a novel tool that demonstrates how Offensive AI can infer sensitive user attributes (like age, gender, and personality) from public music playlists, and proposes JamShield as a mitigating defense.

Refusal Before Decoding: Detecting and Exploiting Refusal Signals in Intermediate LLM Activations

The paper demonstrates that refusal behavior in Large Language Models (LLMs) is encoded as an actionable, linearly decodable signal in intermediate transformer activations, allowing for early detection and exploitation.
