I remember hearing about that, but I never got around to really looking into it. Can hard drive firmware be infected by data on the disc and/or commands sent over SATA, or is it the kind of attack you need to attach test probes to the controller board or desolder the ROM chip to execute?

i think oem custom sata commands, but not sure. what I know is that e.g. seagate releases firmware updates to some of their drives

last I checked it was done by a program running on windows
