Plausibly, there is no real monitoring of co-orbiting bodies in space. If there aren't cameras pointed at every location of the sattelite (why would their be?) you could place a small kill device nearby to avoid the need to shoot down the satellite in the future.
Satellites are flimsy things, all one would need to do is break the mirror/telecom array to stop satellite guided weapons.

Most satellites would need more precise instruments for their own maneuvering control. It might not be enough to determine what tampering took place, but it should be clear that tampering did take place.
