ODINI is a proof-of-concept malware/side-channel technique that covertly exfiltrates sensitive data from air-gapped systems by modulating low-frequency magnetic fields through CPU workload manipulation, enabling transmission to a nearby magnetic sensor even through metal Faraday enclosures; initial compromise is expected via supply-chain attacks, infected USB drives, or malicious insiders, and recommended defenses include physical zoning, magnetic jamming, or mu-metal shielding.
