#AirGaps
A vast number of 2-story chalets have been built near Queenstown airport (Queenstown Central), with 2m airgaps between each.
Absolute waste of very expensive real estate.

"take it off the internet". Airgaps are such a simple security solution, ignored so often because it is inconvenient....

Black Hat Researcher Proves Air Gaps Fail to Secure Data
 Air gaps, long hailed as the ultimate defense for sensitive data, are under siege according to Black Hat researcher Mordechai Guri. In a compelling presentation, Guri demonstrated multiple innovative methods to exfiltrate information from supposedly isolated computers, shattering the myth of complete offline security. These techniques exploit everyday hardware components, proving that physical disconnection alone cannot guarantee protection in high-stakes environments like government and military networks. Guri's BeatCoin malware turns computer speakers into covert transmitters, emitting near-ultrasonic sounds inaudible to humans but detectable by nearby smartphones up to 10 meters away. This allows private keys or other secrets to leak out effortlessly. Even disabling speakers fails, as Fansmitter modulates fan speeds to alter blade frequencies, creating acoustic signals receivable by listening devices within 8 meters. For scenarios without microphones, the Mosquito attack repurposes speakers as rudimentary microphones via GPIO manipulation, enabling ultrasonic data transmission between air-gapped machines. Electromagnetic exploits further erode air-gap defenses. AirHopper manipulates monitor cables to radiate FM-band signals, capturable by a smartphone's built-in receiver. GSMem leverages CPU-RAM pathways to generate cellular-like transmissions detectable by basic feature phones, while USBee transforms USB ports into antennas for broad leakage. These methods highlight how standard peripherals become unwitting conduits for data escape. Faraday cages, designed to block electromagnetic waves, offer no sanctuary either. Guri's ODINI attack generates low-frequency magnetic fields from CPU cores, penetrating these shields.PowerHammer goes further by inducing parasitic signals on building power lines, tappable by attackers monitoring electrical infrastructure.Such persistence underscores the vulnerability of even fortified setups. While these attacks assume initial malware infection—often via USB or insiders—real-world precedents like Stuxnet validate the threat. Organizations must layer defenses with anomaly detection, hardware restrictions, and continuous monitoring beyond mere air-gapping. Guri's work urges a reevaluation of "secure" isolation strategies in an era of sophisticated side-channel threats.

Reduce it! I still see airgaps so that means the pen can be smaller~

Thuh mold for my current project is finished 🥳 It consists of multiple parts. Hence to prevent airgaps the casting will be done in multiple steps 🦿 🦵🏻 🦿. One thing left to do... fill it up!

We wintered chickens in a small room purposefully made of bricks like into a coop. It has some airgaps to the outside and a hell of a lot of insulation. The marinating ammonia hit hard, and so

Always chicken. Pig probably after that, then cow and horse. Sheep can fuck off with the pellet stuff too

asked me why I had been vibing the stone.
Being in creative (read as bullshitting mood) mode, I told him the vibing helped the loose stone work its way into any airgaps and thus made a better seal in a similar manner to brooming the surface.
The following year - I was astounded to see that he had

Going back to 2005 (as I stated above), you're looking at John McCain or Olympia Snowe. Now that you've got a reference point, what airgaps do you see between them and a centrist Dem today?

'... Netflix’s search functionality blindly reflects whatever users put in ... without proper sanitization or validation ... reflected input vulnerability ...'

Note: No 0days, or jumping of airgaps.

Solar Ash was even more complicated because we allowed variable airgaps (a "suspension system") which worked really nicely... after spot-fixing two dozen edge-case glitches T__T

a friend of mine tested multiple layers of aluminum foil for this.

apparently it takes at least three layers of foil and these need to be folded such that you don't break the foil or allow any airgaps between the foil and your device. the more you know!

like getting ram or cpus to vibrate at the right frequency to act as an antenna for airgaps is cool as hell but also has v little real world use

That’s not the problem. I have construction drawings showing how to construct a James Hardie firewall to meet minimum fire safety standards and they did NOT comply. Many defects including airgaps. DDEG report said their goal was NOT to comply but to propose an alternative to fire rating compliance.

If you have any reasonable amount of money, you shouldn't be browsing and doing general work on your secured financial computer. Ideally there would be network separation and airgaps as the financial risk rises.

A dev who doesn't practice that kind of separation shouldn't be doing the work.

I bet musk is going to try and integrate every government agency into one app. No separation. No airgaps in networks. Just one giant X platform but for all government communications including the military. Just a hunch. 🤷
