Satellite Hacking: Cybersecurity Threats in Space IoT Systems (IoT Red Teaming: Offensive and Defensive Strategies, Band 10) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Ever wondered if satellites can be hacked? Spoiler alert: they absolutely can—and way easier than you’d think. Weak encryption, outdated firmware, and unsecured ground stations make space tech a prime target for cybercriminals, rogue nations, and, well… curious hackers like you.

Satellite Hacking: Cybersecurity Threats in Space IoT Systems is your one-way ticket into the fascinating world of hacking and securing satellite communications. Whether you’re a pentester, security researcher, space geek, or just someone who thinks GPS spoofing sounds like a fun weekend project, this book takes you on an action-packed journey through the real vulnerabilities in space-based technology—and how to protect them.

From intercepting satellite signals with software-defined radios (SDRs) to hijacking insecure ground stations, we explore the real-world attack vectors that could compromise everything from global communications to military operations. You’ll learn how hackers exploit uplinks, downlinks, GNSS spoofing, jamming attacks, and even reverse-engineer satellite firmware—all while uncovering how to defend against these threats before we accidentally recreate a real-life sci-fi disaster.

What You’ll Learn Inside:

• How satellite systems actually work (because, let’s be honest, most people have no clue)
• The biggest cybersecurity threats in space IoT—including jamming, spoofing, and MITM attacks
• Reconnaissance techniques—how hackers track, map, and identify satellite vulnerabilities
• Exploiting satellite communication links—and why so many are still shockingly insecure
• Real-world GPS spoofing incidents—from ships going off course to airplanes getting rerouted
• Reverse engineering satellite firmware—because what’s better than breaking space tech to make it stronger?
• How to actually secure satellite systems—because someone needs to stop the bad guys

Part of the IoT Red Teaming Book Series

If you love breaking and securing tech, you’ll want to check out the rest of the IoT Red Teaming: Offensive and Defensive Strategies series. From Mastering Hardware Hacking to Wireless Hacking Unleashed, we’ve got everything you need to own, exploit, and defend the modern world of IoT, drones, medical devices, smart vehicles, and more.

If satellites aren’t enough, maybe try The Car Hacker’s Guide (for breaking into smart vehicles) or Drone Hacking (because UAVs have security flaws too). Want to dig deeper into firmware and embedded systems? Firmware Hacking & Reverse Engineering is a must-read.

Who Should Read This Book?

• Pentesters & Security Researchers – If you love breaking tech to make it safer, this is for you.
• Hackers & Cyber Enthusiasts – Learn how space-based systems are exploited (and how to protect them).
• Engineers & Space Geeks – Finally understand how satellites communicate—and why they’re so vulnerable.
• Anyone Who’s Ever Wondered How Hackers Can Manipulate GPS – Because yes, you really can fake your location.

Your Mission, Should You Choose to Accept It…

Space is no longer the final frontier—it’s the next big battlefield in cybersecurity. The question is: are you ready to defend it? Whether you’re looking to understand space IoT security, test vulnerabilities, or just impress your friends with your new hacker knowledge, this book has you covered.
