You measure and reverse engineer. That is what hackers should do. >You're moving goal posts now. I'd say you where interpreting my comments on hacking too narrowly.

I studied ultra wideband decades before they started to write papers refering to UWB standard definitions [1] so I might be out of tune (pun intended) with current definitions. A transceiver could use attosecond 10^−18, femtosecond 10^−15

English is not my native language, you might have taken me too literally. You have to be a very capable hacker to modify all the different Starlink firmware of all the chips involved. There are dozens of reasons to do that, unrelated from d

If you don't trust the software or the server, you can reflash the firmware and deploy the hardware in your own way, similar like we do with OpenWRT. Use Starlink dishes as phased array point to point links across 500 km without the v2

I was only vaguely alluding to the military background of Elon's contacts around the funding cycles of SpaceX. I'm sure we don't know the real story. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_D._Griffin

Not entirely easy. SFPs and FPGA's need to be in the mix, software patches, power supplies, etc.

There is more to it. For example, do you trust SpaceX to not relay your location to your enemy? Do you want to broadcast your identity at all if there can be a man-in-the-middle-attack? A dozen other reasons....

Things chance quickly in a war, the situation is now (29 Februari 2024) very different. Starlinks mounted on drones by both sides, for example. Nato and US militairy paying for special Starlink. Jamming at 10Ghz-60Ghz.

Firstly, Starlink cables are 1 Gbps ethernet with PoE [1]. This means 53V DC power over thin twisted pair cables, after a few meters the voltage drops below 48V DC and the cables start showing up in infrared because they are heated by the e

Starlink geographically keyed discounts, also roamning or maritime accounts already differentiates the monthly fees. Why would the Dishy hardware price be different for locations as well the hardware cost isn't? > wish I had enough
