- jhayward 9y agoYou can't spoof the encrypted signal by simulating a satellite, you have to capture the real signal and rebroadcast it as an overpowering signal so targets can't get the direct broadcast at their location. This means that everyone who is getting the overpowered signal will compute the same location, which will be the antenna of the spoofer.
