What is NUIT?
NUIT is a novel inaudible attack against voice assistants (Siri, Google Assistant, Alexa, Cortana) that can be waged remotely through internet. Nuit appears as a sound clip in near-ultrasound frequency range (16kHz-20kHz), thus can be played on the victim's COTS speaker to attack the voice assistant (i) on the same device (NUIT-1);(ii) on victim's other devices (NUIT-2).
Note that Nuit2 is between two phones (Device 1: performs as the attacking device or the speaker. Device 2 is the victim device, which voice assistants are the NUIT2 attacks’ target)
appears in USENIX Security Symposium 2023
