It's definitely worth reading some of those earlier studies as well as this one, like that link 2 "Dumping and extracting the SpaceX Starlink User Terminal firmware" [0] also got some good discussion and insights [1]. There were a few tidbits in that I don't see here, like how root-enabled development hardware also was geofenced both to obvious SpaceX locations but also a few pretty random seeming ones that presumably were used for quiet off site testing in more challenging environmental conditions. It's cool to read the build up of knowledge, although one take home that shouldn't be unusual yet is was that SpaceX really seems to have done a pretty careful job in terms of security from the get-go, learning the lessons of those who came before for once. ---- 0: https://www.esat.kuleuven.be/cosic/blog/dumping-and-extracting-the-spacex-starlink-user-terminal-firmware/ https://www.esat.kuleuven.be/cosic/blog/dumping-and-extracti... 1: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27751759 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27751759
