Report that you can easily hack airplanes and ships with tens of thousands of yen TV equipment
Most of the communications required for planes and ships to send and receive information necessary for safe navigation, and for passengers to enjoy the Internet via in-flight Wi-Fi are

It was in 2009 that the issue of satellite internet safety began to be addressed. In an article in The Register, a British news site, White Hacker Adam Laurie said, ``We have been trying to report the death of Princess Diana in 1997 after intercepting satellite communications over the last decade. I even knew that a journalist was laughing while smoking a cigarette.'
A doctorate from Oxford University in the security conference ' Black Hat USA 2020 ' held online on August 5, 2020, more than 10 years after the article on the danger of satellite communication appeared in the world. James Pavour, a candidate for acquisition, said, ``Using a home television device for just $300 (about 31,000 yen), we will intercept satellite communications covering a vast range including the United States, China, India, etc. I was able to do it.'
Below is a diagram of the range of areas where Pavour has successfully intercepted communications. Pavour claims that he can hack a total of 18 satellites that were communicating in three areas of land, sea, and air, with an impact of a total of 100 million square kilometers.
Mr. Pavour used the '
To actually hack, first use public information about the position of the geostationary satellite used for Internet communication, point the antenna at the satellite, and receive radio waves in the
It is said that the data obtained in this way contained important weather information and navigation system information, which were important for the safe flight of the airplane.
Pavour has also succeeded in gaining access to ship identification numbers, payloads, and communication system details using satellite Internet.
Moreover, it is not only possible to see the contents of communication, but also to tamper the data by utilizing the 'time difference' that occurs when an airplane or ship moving on the earth communicates with an Internet service provider (ISP) via satellite. It is also possible to cut off communication.
IT-related news site Ars Technica said, 'A measure that the general public can imagine is to use a VPN to prevent interception and falsification of communication. However, according to Pavour, a handshake for each endpoint . With such VPN connections, the communication speed will drop by 90%, and the satellite Internet itself will be useless.'
In his presentation, Pavour said, 'The goal of my research is to cultivate a research field that has received little attention until now: the unique effect of the physical properties of the universe on the cyber security.' Many people think of satellites as normal PCs, some distance apart, but in reality there are quite a few differences that can help you build better security. Let's see,' he said, motivating future research to improve the safety of satellite Internet.
