As the domains of pervasive computing and sensor networking are expanding, a new era is emerging, enabling the design and proliferation of intelligent sensor-based applications. At the same time, it is important to maintain a high degree of confidentiality, integrity and availability of both the data and network resources. However, a common threat that is often overlooked in the design of secure sensor network applications is the existence of spyware programs. This work demonstrates Spy-Sense, a spyware tool that allows the injection of stealthy exploits in the nodes of a sensor network. Spy-Sense is hard to recognize and get rid of, and once activated, it runs discretely in the background without interfering or disrupting normal network operation. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first instance of a spyware program that can be used to attack the confidentiality and functionality of a sensor network.
