SATAn: Air-Gap Exfiltration Attack via Radio Signals From SATA Cables. (arXiv:2207.07413v1 [cs.CR])

This paper introduces a new type of attack on isolated, air-gapped
workstations. Although air-gap computers have no wireless connectivity, we show
that attackers can use the SATA cable as a wireless antenna to transfer radio
signals at the 6 GHz frequency band. The Serial ATA (SATA) is a bus interface
widely used in modern computers and connects the host bus to mass storage
devices such as hard disk drives, optical drives, and solid-state drives. The
prevalence of the SATA interface …
