SATAn hack can steal data directly from your SATA cable

[Undiscussed Horrific Abuse, One Victim of Many]

i looked for the quantum programming book in library genesis but it's
not there yet. there are older books, though, you could just look up
how to gain access to quantum computers to try things out

the SATAn paper is https://arxiv.org/abs/2207.07413 . the attack is
not very new as far as i know.

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 makes this attack highly available to
attackers in a wide range of computer systems and IT environments. We
discuss related work on this topic and provide technical background.
We show the design of the transmitter and receiver and present the
implementation of these components. We also demonstrate the attack on
different computers and provide the evaluation. The results show that
attackers can use the SATA cable to transfer a brief amount of
sensitive information from highly secured, air-gap computers
wirelessly to a nearby receiver. Furthermore, we show that the attack
can operate from user mode, is effective even from inside a Virtual
Machine (VM), and can successfully work with other running workloads
in the background. Finally, we discuss defense and mitigation
techniques for this new air-gap attack.
