Came out in 2008 and leaked in 2013, the glowies have been able to send out malicious packets from air-gapped networks for exuberant prices.

Anyone watched the video willing to share how?

It's a combination of compromising the hardware gigabit connector on the motherboard, and embedding within that connector a hidden rf device that can exfiltrate data over a wireless signal, effectively jumping across that air gap in place.

It details how the NSA captured hardware shipments in transit and replaced them with the firewalk compromised hardware and then let the shipments proceed to their intended recipient.

It's an 11 minute video, and a decent watch.
