 Official Talk | Demo 💻 | Tool 🛠\n   When: Friday\, Aug 7\, 14:30 - 1

 1]Map\n\n   Description:\n\n   The "Security by Obscurity" era in satellit
 e communications is over\,\n   but the industry hasn't received the memo. 
 As we shift toward COTS\n   hardware and standardized protocols like CCSDS
  and Space Packet\n   Protocol (SPP)\, a massive attack surface has emerge
 d\, stretching from\n   ground stations to the satellite.\n\n   In this ta
 lk\, i will show the vulnerabilities of the modern space\n   link. i will 
 move beyond simple RF command injction to demonstrate a\n   full-spectrum 
 exploitation methodology. Using PWNSAT and PWNCUBE a\n   high-fidelity\, o
 pen-source satellite exploitation ecosystem we\n   simulate an end-to-end 
 mission under fire.\n\n   I will demonstrate:\n\n   Protocol Fuzzing\, GNS
  spoofing and command exploiting CCSDS/SPP packet\n   structures over LoRa
 /FSK. Lateral Movement in Orbit: How a compromised\n   RF link leads to co
 mmand injection on the internal CAN bus to\n   manipulate satellite subsys
 tems. Ground Segment Pivoting: Exploiting\n   the Mission Operations Cente
 r (MOC) via radio protocol\n   vulnerabilities.\n\n   This is not just a t
 ool demo\; it is a deep dive into the flaws of\n   aerospace's most truste
 d protocols. We provide the community with a\n   "Vulnerable-by-Design" or
 bital platform to bridge the gap between\n   cybersecurity and space engin
 eering.\n\n   SpeakerBio:  Romel "r0r0x" Marin\n\n   Romel MarÃn is a Seni
