Satcom Piracy

Last night I witnessed the HELL mode of communication being used by the pro-Ukraine satellite pirates on 245 MHz. The words read better when the waterfall scrolls up the page, so flipping the image makes it more readable! There was a variety of English and Cyrillic messages which were anti-Putin in nature.

Hellschreiber mode as a communications tool has been around since 1929 when it was invented by Rudolf Hell in Kiel (Germany).

@mastodonmigration @GottaLaff Obviously, all #SATCOM is insecure.

  • X-Band - based #MILSATCOM use proprietary encryption systems.

  • The best in terms of #COTS AFAIK is #IridiumPTT which does #AES256 over the air (if not the entire #IridiumNext system except legacy services) but that is a fully-managed solution with custom, embedded hardware.

  • Whereas most commercial satellite Internet is insecure af, tho I'm shure Ukrainians know how to setup their own #VPN!

Issues aside it's now 15 years since I started using #Tor / @torproject & @guardianproject / #Orbot on #Android full-time.

Because in #EDGEland they yeet users to 64kBit/s if not even lower to 16kBit/s past paid bandwith and instead of properly renegotiating the bandwith, they trottle connections by reducing the packet rate / dropping packets, making it as #laggy as a #GSO-based #SATCOM connection!

  • On top of that, almost all #MNO|s & #MVNO|s illegally use RFC1918 Address space, *espechally 10.0.0.0/8 for #CGNAT, thus bricking #VPN|s and sadly @BNetzA doesn't really give a damn!
