Satelliten-Crack: Story stinkt-.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- die einer Story über den Crack eines Satelliten des militärisch- elektronischen Komplexes durch Unbekannte angemessen ist. Die Story ist bis jetzt nirgendwo bestätigt. -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- Michael Buonagurio February 28, 1999 at 16:26:09 According to the Sunday Edition of the Times of London an unknown band of crackers/extortionists have seized control of one of the United Kingdoms Skynet 4 military communication satellites. The individual(s) involved apparently altered the course of the satellite from its previous geo-synchronous orbit. .... The UK government has received a ransom demand for an unspecified amount for return of satellite control. It is presumed that if the demand is not met the current controller will burn all on-board fuel thus rendering the satellite inoperable. The main question is how did this occur? In order to take control of the satellite the extortionists would have had to bypass numerous electronic security arrangements including the encrypted command codes necessary to change the satellite's attitude. They would then have to crack into an up-link facility, keying it to the specific transmission wavelength of the satellites operational systems. Once that was accomplished they would have to be able to ensure control of the satellite in order to achieve their goals. The current views are that the take-over was an inside job. Either a few lines of corrupted code were created as a backdoor in the systems initial programming, or the command keys were sold by an individual(s) as part of an espionage ring. The ability to change satellite attitudes is also not a common skill. .... Due to the satellites geo-stationary orbit this facility is most likely located within Europe. .... The UK Ministry of Defense has no comment on this report. Data of Skynet series: The UK's main military communications satellites are the Skynet series. These satellites are needed for the prosecution of all types of conflicts- including nuclear war- for the European Theater. A total of five have been launched and designated Skynet 4, 4A, 4B, 4C, and 4D. Of these the original Skynet has been retired with 4A, 4B and 4C to be replaced by 4D, 4E and 4F, respectively. It is believed that the satellite taken over is the -4D which was launched January 10, 1998 using a Delta 2 rocket. All Skynet systems use digital encryption, UHF- and EHF- transmission bandwidths. The -4D, -4E, and -4F satellites transmit and receive in the 254-318 MHz UHF-band, have two transponders, a power of 50 W, steerable spot beam SHF antennas, and a bandwidth of 25 KHz. Last known locations were 34º West (inclined) for the -4A and 53º East for the -4D.
