What we'll cover
Master the essentials of satellite cybersecurity, including Orbital Mechanics, Satellite Reconnaissance, and Decoding Satellite Communication. Dive into Satellite On-Board Systems and learn to Listen to Satellites via Radio Frequencies. Explore Vulnerability Analysis, uncover Common Attacks on Satellites, and develop skills to Detect and Mitigate Satellite Hacking effectively.
Module 1
Satellite Reconnaissance
Satellite reconnaissance is the first stage of any satellite attack process and is critical to learn in order to extract valuable data about the target satellite, such as its telemetry, protocols / encryption methods, and orbital parameters. Students will learn how to track down any satellite in space using open source tools and data sets.
Lesson 2
Lesson 3
Lesson 5
Module 2
Communication Analysis and Eavesdropping
The key vulnerability of satellites exists within their use of long-range communication to ground stations via open network security protocols. In this section, students will learn how to analyze communication data transmitted and received by satellites and the underlying concepts of how it works. This is imperative for students to learn because most attacks conducted on satellites involve some sort of manipulation of the satellite’s communication architecture.
Lesson 7
Lesson 8
Lesson 9
Lesson 10
Module 3
Reverse Engineering and Decoding Communication
This module covers the techniques necessary to decode satellite communication and what data can be extracted out of satellite communication. This is important to learn because most satellite systems do not adhere to a rigid communication protocol, making them vulnerable to decoding by ground-based attackers.
Module 4
Vulnerabilities and Attacks
The vulnerability and attack section of the course will cover common attacks that are employed to hack into satellites and what vulnerabilities they target. Students will get insight into what technologies are used to hack into satellites and how to mitigate attacks by delving into modern encryption protocols. Topics
