I wonder if the team working on this has a "wrap party" when the vector is inevitably exposed, or if there's some kind of politics/fallout if they didn't show quite enough ROI. Sort of like modern NASA and ESA (and now ISRO) missions, you know? Anyway, I'm not interested in getting into a debate, but it sounds like an impressive bit of work.

Or the program continues uninterrupted because even once exposed, it still works. All major hard drive makers have been infiltrated. Where's everyone in the world going to buy hard drives?

  Ah, good point. Wow.

  All it takes is a sata key doing ROT13 on passing data to defeat it, or stripping raid array.

    One would imagine that raid cards would be an equally appealing attack vector.

      There are driverless/non firmware upgradeable RAID controllers, for example Sil3726 - SATA port multiplier with RAID functionality buildin. Connect couple of drivers and host sees only one.
