Remember 20+ years ago when people did this with cable modems?

  And remember how the cable companies completely fixed it? Starlink already seems to do the right thing to prevent cloning and unauthorized access. Secure chip (STSAFE) and mTLS for talking to internal services. Maybe researchers will find some bugs in their services but they will be patched quickly.

  Cable modems were easy: all you needed to do was JTAG them. I don't think any glitching was required. The approach used for the Starlink terminal is more like what was done to reprogram satellite TV smart cards. Get a copy of the ROM, count the processor cycles and find the operation you don't want happens and mess with the voltage or frequency at that point to let you send in unsigned/unauthorized updates.
