Is snooping on satellite internet traffic a thing? Wonder what security implications this could have.
- loeg 8y agoIt's a radio technology, so yeah. Similar problem space as WLAN, at least in the sat -> earth direction.
- robszumski 8y agoOh it absolutely is. You park your collection satellite right behind the target satellite, so you soak up all the transmissions that overshoot. http://spaceflight101.com/shijian-17-rendezvous-with-chinasat-5a/ http://spaceflight101.com/shijian-17-rendezvous-with-chinasa... The NSA has been known to use their imaging satellites to find transmitters which they can then snoop on once they know where they are pointing.
