Free Internet - Hacking Foreign Satellites

Поделиться
HTML-код
  • Опубликовано: 26 янв 2024
  • I gain access to 2 different geostationary global satellites and connect to a low bandwidth internet connection from a ground station in Argentina. Speed is slow and comparable to dialup access but is still very much usable with a high propagation delay of 600ms. I'm about to access my cats website and make multiple VoIP phone calls using the free Internet connection.

    Talk about microwave safety, My late father was a Naval Radio Technician during WWII. He was assigned to the super secret Radar training on an island in Galveston Bay, Texas.
    He really liked the training course, as they were absolutely forbidden from bringing pen and paper to the island.
    Anyway, during the training, they had a small radar system with a rotating antenna. The course instructor ordered the men to one side of the room, and stopped the antenna
    facing the other direction. He put a hot dog on a stick and cooked it. Then he turned it back on, Dad said it felt like a heat lamp rotating around. Safety Third!

    • @peterfairlie2296
      @peterfairlie2296  4 месяца назад +273

      The concept of using microwaves for cooking food came from radar development. A WW2 engineer discovered that he could melt a chocolate bar with the radar signal. The power from my antenna isn't anywhere near what's needed to do that so don't you worry, I'm not running a primary radar system here.

      @@manonamission2000 I don't think that it is possible for non-ionizing radiation to cause cancer.
      The only type of non-ionizing radiation that I know of that can have an effect on humans is Very low frequency RF used for submarine communication.
      I remember reading a report that was written in the 70s which summarized the effects of VLF Rf on humans that were observed during various tests.
      The summary basically said that VLF can have an effect on humans but only if a powerful transmitter(I don't remember the exact value but it was something like a kilowatt) is used and the person is near it.
      And it didn't mention anything about cancer or something like that.
      Only things like tremors and an increased heart rate which were speculated to be somehow caused by VLF RF interferring with the nervous system.
      Edit: Just wanted to add that If you have a high powered transmitter that RF can cook you but I think that was not worth mentioning because almost no amateur has a access to a several kilowatt transmitter xD.

    As an ex Satellite internet NOC, I can say the operator actually know when you try to beam the unauthorized frequency to the satellite ,and they would get an automated notification from the system. However, there nothing that they can do beside asking everyone who had leased or leasing the satellite's bands to investigate. Blocking the line is the last thing they want to do.

      Years ago, I was working for the company that made that diamond shaped dish, This one day I get a call from SES Americom, asking me for some help finding a wildcat transmitter. They knew we built good quality VSAT terminals, which is exactly what they needed for use as a reference station. I just so happened to have a test dish up on the roof, and the ability to lock the frequency to our GPS frequency reference. Using their precise knowledge of the orbits of the geostationary satellites and thus the doppler, as well as the side lobes coming from a bird 4 satellites away, they were able to nail down the offending transmitter to an ellipse of about 0.5 by 1 mile ellipse. It was pretty cool, and I got some great SES Americom swag out of it.

      @austist In theory, most of the places required you to have a license to transmit satellite signals. By transmitting illegal signals, it usually violates local laws, and satellite vendors can contact local authorities for help. Also, SAT vendor can track the origin of the signal with pretty good accuracy. However, from my experience, local authorities are basically useless, and SAT vendors usually just block that part of bandwidth on the beam.

    The tests you have carried out are very good, at the moment I am using a Google translator because I speak Spanish. The problem with choppy and delayed sound is because you need a GPS or the modem software to be synchronized with time. Every telecommunications system requires that both sender and receiver must be synchronized and this is so that the signal frame is sent and received in a synchronized manner and not at the wrong time. If you use TDMA frame, it is demanding that it needs to be synchronized.

You can make them call eachother directly ATA to ATA on whatever dial plan you want, you can change the ringing style and about a thousand other parameters. They meet or exceed an Asterisk system in the field for lots of reasons. The only time I have seen one break is because a PhD Geologist pressed & held the reset button in while rebooting it (which takes real skill) and it bricked the device as it was looking for a new firmware update.

    • @deang5622
      @deang5622 3 месяца назад +2

      You don't own or operate a server.
      In respect of the PSTN replacement, you plug your fixed line analogue telephone in to a port on the back of your broadband router. The router is the only equipment you need, and an optional UPS to provide power in the case of a power failure.
      The router is connected to your internet provider who also provides (provided) the PSTN service.
      So the Telco company that provided you with your fixed line analogue phone service will provide your VoIP service.
      That Telco that assigned your phone number to the fixed line phone connection will assign the phone number to the fixed line phone on your VoIP connection.
      IP addresses come into it, SIP and database services.
      Quite what happens when your Telco providing your PSTN fixed line service is a VNO running over Openreach, I am not sure, but I would anticipate that the VNO still ensures you get the same phone number assigned to that fixed line phone when it is connected in to the VoIP network - as that is fundamentally important. The transitipn to VoIP from the PSTN needs to be as seamless for the customer as possible.
      Therefore I envisage a technical solution where the VNO provides data to Openreach and Openreach register your IP address and the phone number provided by the VNO into their _database services_ application. All phones on the network have to be registered.
      It is likely that number ranges have been allocated to each VNO, and for the addition of new communication services the VNO can pick a number from their allotted range. Other approaches are possible but I suspect this is the most likely.
