How To Hack Internet Satellites

Recommended Posts

Posted

Satellites can give us access to high speed Internet in even the most remote locations, such as in the middle of the dessert, on a a boat at sea, or even the Arctic. Unfortunately, with this great convenience, comes a great liability since hackers can easily break into these feeds to use them. Now, a Spanish cyber security researcher named Leonardo Nve, is presenting proof that not only is it easy and cheap (around $75) to hack into and use these satellite connections, but that it’s also easy for hackers to gain access to private networks, intercept satellite Internet users’ requests for web pages, replace them with spoofed sites, and they can do all of this anonymously.

“What’s interesting about this is that it’s very, very easy,” says Nve. “Anyone can do it: phishers or Chinese hackers … it’s like a very big Wi-Fi network that’s easy to access.”

Nve’s research proves that anyone using satellite Internet is not as safe as they think they are. A hacker that knows how to do this can set up fake websites designed to look and act like the real thing and steal your password information or install malicious software on your computer. So far, Nve has tested this out on geosynchronous satellites aimed at Europe, Africa and South America, but he says that there is little doubt that the same tricks would work on satellites facing North America or anywhere else.

citez:

In a presentation at the Black Hat security conference in Arlington, Va., Tuesday, Spanish cybersecurity researcher Leonardo Nve presented a variety of tricks for gaining access to and exploiting satellite Internet connections.

are cineva vreun link cu inregistrarea de la conferinta aceea?

Hmmm stiu cum ar trebui procedat da problema e cum detectez satelitu :| tre sa aiba un fel de IP ceva ca sa mearga spoofingul ... oare cum il gasesc ? :>

Este scris in articol ca persoana respectiva care a facut publice metodele lui (la Black Hat blah blah) a folosit o placa de retea (din cate am inteles) speciala pentru a receptiona semnalul satelitului.

ceva de genul cred
