Hacking Satellites with $300 Worth of TV Gear

Ғылым және технология

This student discovered that satellite security isn’t as stable as one may expect. So he decided to hack one.

Satellites are used for a wide variety of activities that most of us don't even recognize. From mobile phone networks to GPS capabilities, to a variety of IoT devices and operation of electrical grids, satellites are in control. Our global interconnectedness is deeply dependent on satellites - and they aren't as secure as we might expect them to be.
An exploitation of satellites’ weaknesses by hackers is not only possible, it’s probable. The US Air Force held a virtual version of the annual competition in 2020 at DEF CON, challenging hackers to reverse-engineer ground-based and on-orbit satellite system components to expose planted “flags” - or vulnerable software codes.
The idea is that the best defense can result in proactive offense. For researchers like James Pavur, a Rhodes Scholar and PhD candidate at Oxford University who focuses on satellite security, it's become his life's work to exploit and report potential vulnerabilities before hackers have the chance.

    1. Start your projects with security concerns included in the project plan. This is called "security by design" 2. Include a security architect that can advise and analyze the security profile of projects. This goes beyond paper security and includes actual security reviews and security tests. 3. Pay for the cost of security by design. 4. Include penetration testing of all system components which include the people and processes operating a system.

    Gamers have exploited every game ever released within hours of release. That's all you need to know to understand the scope of this problem, and how to address it. Once content (code) is released to the public, a diverse, creative, curious and intently driven community will pounce on it and quickly discover ways to exploit it.

    The biggest issue with games now-a-days is people don't seem to care... Developers in particular because it is a business. They purposefully leave vulnerabilities ( example, allowing the client to dictate terms to the server when you should never trust client data... this is how people can be shot from across a solar system with a weapon which could never reach that far, instantly, and continuously because the server doesn't check the data and simply trusts. It is why speed hacks exist. It is why people can teleport, and more ). So here is how it is a business.... Game is released, charge is $15 to $120 for the game. Game is intentionally left vulnerable. Scripters use basic logic, packet spoofing, or whatever to replicate actions and if the server accepts it, cheaters have a tool. People in the community get annoyed that day 1 there are people cheating. Developers vow to ban cheaters. Cheaters are found, easily, and typically given a month to cheat before the account is banned. So the cheater gets to play the game on a subscription model while legitimate players who want to enjoy the game and not ruin it for others pay a one time fee for a license. Because the devs are being paid on 2 separate models based on cheater vs non-cheater, they do everything they can to keep that going. For instance, kicking cheaters for common cheats and telling the server about it ( Rust is an example where they kick people for 'fly hack' which can actually be triggered by standing on the very edge of a scrap helicopter as you can't board the helicopter even if you are on the same team, unless they allowed this, unless you are the owner. But you can stand on the very edge in the back and be airlifted out - this causes a false-positive ) making the community 'feel like' something is being done. The actual bans don't typically happen within days or weeks unless the cheater is blatantly doing it non-stop to the point where influential players are complaining. Then they get banned pretty quickly. Otherwise, infractions are added up and eventually the account is banned. But, these cheaters typically by 10s of accounts when the game is on sale, or get it for pennies on the dollar from hacked accounts, credit card fraud, and more. So they don't care - they just create a new free account on the service, then cheat and play to ruin other peoples fun on a subscription model. I am a developer myself, and I can't stand the state of the industry in this regard. I would never put this type of system into anything I work on. I would ban the cheater, log their hardware and every new account would be linked to it, along with other methods of tracking so they could create a thousand accounts and they wouldn't be able to be used and every account they try to login with ( with special conditions in place so they can't just hack someones account and get them banned permanently, etc... but they would then be temporarily blocked or some other mechanism to ensure innocent accounts can't be used in this regard ) would be blocked. Speedhacking is easily detectable. Aimbots are incredibly simple to detect, especially if they are blatant. Aim assists are also easy to detect, but more difficult that straight up snap-to'ing. Packet spoofing is stupid easy to detect too. If you design a game and the logic, then you know what to expect and if something falls outside the bounds of what can be done, for instance a player attempting to teleport or claim they are on something solid when they aren't ( ie fly hacking ), etc.. can easily be prevented... The goal is to have the server control and verify - but allow the client as much control as is reasonable. ie: Don't send the clients the full loot list, etc... when they are in range they can get data networked regarding things so they are far enough away it doesn't pop in ( ie just outside a door they are about to enter or could enter, etc.. ) but close enough that there is no major benefit... If the clients want to modify their money value - let them. It can act as a strike when the server sees the disconnect. All of that data can be tracked and used as evidence of cheating - obviously memory can fail so you wouldn't ban for something like that, when the client tries to use the money is when you can let them know about the money they have and fix the desync instead of 60 times per second for an unchanging value. Let them modify the memory data - although you could protect against that and if detected you could swap the data with a backup but that adds overheat... you could cause the game to crash - fun, then they'll just complain... so just let them, it won't matter especially if the server handles the data how it should. It just makes them see a big number and go - oh wow.... Let them edit their health and armor values too... it will only show the data on the hud and change the data they are seeing but it will not change when they perish, how much damage they take, etc.. because that's handled by the server when done properly... So many devs send so much data every frame when it isn't necessary. They don't track time properly, etc.. They trust client data... they don't know when to let a client modify something and when not to - or they just allow it and let the client tell the server that there was a valid change. I'm also not saying that Rust does this on purpose or to make money, but I'm stating it looks that way because of how long it takes to get people banned and it typically only happens within hours if an influencer reports the person non-stop or if the entire server is constantly reporting them, etc... most will gather info and do a bulk ban every month or so.... convenient...

    They just eavesdropped on a satellite signal and did not mention about encryption where most satellite broadcaster use. If they can control a satellite, that will be hacking but sad to say, an up and down transmission of those signals are just for broadcasters, signal that are use to control satellite in their stationary position in only in the uplink and it is secured.

    He is NOT hacking anything - he is merely listening in on bounced transmissions. Most are encrypted... apparently some are not. Satellite security is quite stable and secure, I don't see any command and control affected here. Comm companies such as television networks and internet companies lease comm channels and are responsible for securing their own data. It is NOT up to the satellite owner to secure the individual comm channels, they simply receive and re-transmit (bounce) channel data.

The problem is the safety does not exist... and its not only on satellite´s, there is always a small "hole" to someone enter, just necessary to find it, where there is electronic and RF there is always to "enter the thing". Future is open doors to everything we use in life. Making all stuff "connectable".

    You can't really protect analog radio transponders. There also wouldn't be a point, since unlicensed transmissions carry hefty fines and therefore have a very unfavorable risk/reward ratio for the offender. To really disturb anyone, you'd have to overpower the legitimate stations transmitting on the same frequency in the same region.

    ...except for the fact that, in any realistic situation, it would be counter-intuitive to think about decoding satelite bitstreams into packets or bytes. The amount of time it could take is simply too large, no matter the reasons for executing such operations (some older sats are considered to be an exception because of non-existent encryption protocols). It could be done ofc, but should not be percieved as easily achieved as such....
