For those unaware, the “air-gapped system” refers specifically to independent physical devices deployed in any network that is entirely isolated from any connection like a network or the internet. It also does not have any hardware that can communicate wirelessly, like wireless Bluetooth or Wi-Fi hardware. According to the study, the attackers use the SATA cable itself as a wireless transmitter to transfer radio signals at the 6GHz frequency band where the transmission via SATA cables is the most effective....

The threat was described by the researchers in a research paper to be presented next month at the USENIX Security Symposium in Austin, Texas. Thanks to services like Google Now and Apple’s Siri, voice recognition has taken off quickly on smartphones, according to Micah Sherr, Professor at Georgetown University and one of the paper’s authors. However, the voice software has also made it simpler to hack devices. Last year, two security researchers from French agency ANSSI controlled smartphones with voice commands by using radio waves to send hidden commands to smartphones running Siri or Google Now....

The findings which were published online by the researchers showed that many models of laptop gives electromagnetic radiation that can be maneuvered into disclosing the passwords stored on laptops. Encoding and decoding communication operations have their own electromagnetic signatures, which can be recorded by the special device and then translated on a different computer. Laptops could be tricked into disclosing passwords when sent encoded passages of text. Laptops would then encode the data, and researchers then used the special radio which would track the electromagnetic radiation the laptop’s CPU works....

We already have tiny computers but researchers at the University of Washington Sensor Lab have gone ahead and found a way to make them even tinier. They got rid of the battery to make WISP that much smaller. As reported by Fast Co. Design, the team’s Wireless Identification and Sensing Platform (WISP) gets its power by harvesting radio waves from the air. In order to function, the WISP gathers energy from a standard radio frequency identification, or RFID reader....

However, in order to complete the entire collection, you will require a few more things. Since Windows 98 isn’t readily available for Raspberry Pi, the cunning Redditor resorted to emulating the system via QEMU....
