You can exfiltrate data from air-gapped computer by any means that leaks signals. Some are obvious (wi-fi !?!), fun begins when you use means that aren&#x27;t normally considered.<p>If I remember correctly (and I&#x27;ll try to find links afterwards), these were already used:<p>1 - Heat from the CPU&#x2F;GPU (link: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.wired.com&#x2F;2015&#x2F;03&#x2F;stealing-data-computers-using-heat&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.wired.com&#x2F;2015&#x2F;03&#x2F;stealing-data-computers-using-...</a>)<p>2 - Fan noise&#x2F;speed (link: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.wired.com&#x2F;2016&#x2F;06&#x2F;clever-attack-uses-sound-computers-fan-steal-data&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.wired.com&#x2F;2016&#x2F;06&#x2F;clever-attack-uses-sound-compu...</a>)<p>3 - audio from the speaker (link: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.telegraph.co.uk&#x2F;technology&#x2F;internet-security&#x2F;10490846&#x2F;New-computer-virus-secretly-leaks-data-through-air.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.telegraph.co.uk&#x2F;technology&#x2F;internet-security&#x2F;1049...</a>)<p>4 - audio from the HDD activity (link: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theregister.co.uk&#x2F;2016&#x2F;08&#x2F;15&#x2F;air_gap_breached_by_disk_drive_noise&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theregister.co.uk&#x2F;2016&#x2F;08&#x2F;15&#x2F;air_gap_breached_by...</a>)<p>5 - electromagnetic radiation (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.wired.com&#x2F;2015&#x2F;07&#x2F;researchers-hack-air-gapped-computer-simple-cell-phone&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.wired.com&#x2F;2015&#x2F;07&#x2F;researchers-hack-air-gapped-co...</a>)<p>And some ways that I didn&#x27;t see yet, but might be possible:<p>6 - monitor (by changing part of the screen, the colors, or something like that, creating subtle patterns)<p>7 - keyboard lights (flickering in high speed, perhaps)<p>8 - power consumption<p>edit: added electromagnetic radiation

This is interesting because the disk activity LED is <i>covert</i>, not clandestine. There&#x27;s no need to try to hide the activity; communication is buried in the normal busy activity of the hard disk.

Being a father who suffered watching those Frozen princess many times, I found LED-it-GO very amusing...
