2025, A Space Hacking Odyssey

Sure, maybe you've hacked the planet, but how about hacking off planet!? The final frontier has been designated as critical infrastructure. Satellites and other space systems are an integral part of our daily lives from navigation to communications, financial transactions, and national security. Cybersecurity for these assets is environmentally and operationally constrained in ways unfamiliar to most practitioners. What better way to gain an appreciation for the challenges of cybersecurity in space and an understanding of how attackers will behave against this attack surface than exploiting it yourself?

Things you'll learn about:
• Operational and environmental constraints of the space domain
• Operating & attacking space systems
• Cybersecurity for space
• State of the space industry
• Adversarial tradecraft & satellite vulnerabilities
• Attack mapping with SPARTA

Things you'll do:
• Fly and operate a simulated satellite
• Be a malicious insider threat
• Develop tradecraft in space system environments
• Learn how to hide malicious activity on space systems
• Hack space systems
