That's libata at work. It virtualizes all drives and hooks them up to a
driver that talks to the physical interface on one end and to the kernel
SCSI driver on the other. Thus, all drives, PATA, SATA and SCSI show up as
SCSI drives now.

You can't block a port with software that runs on the same machine where
the attacks are aimed. That's like trying to stop bullets by shoving
Kevlar up your backside. By the time the bullet hits the Kevlar, the
damage has been done.
