Karl Koscher & Andrew Green - HACK THE HEMISPHERE! How we (legally) broadcasted hacker content to all of North America using an end-of-life geostationary satellite, and how you can set up your own broadcast too!
Karl Koscher, Hacker (he/him)
Andrew Green, Hacker (he/him)
Presentation Title: HACK THE HEMISPHERE! How we (legally) broadcasted hacker content to all of North America using an end-of-life geostationary satellite, and how you can set up your own broadcast too!
Length of presentation: 45 minutes
Demo, War Story
The Shadytel cabal had an unprecedented opportunity to legally uplink to and use a vacant transponder slot on a geostationary satellite about to be decommissioned. This talk will explain how we modified an unused commercial uplink facility to broadcast modern HD DVB-S2 signals and created the media processing chain to generate the ultimate information broadcast. You'll learn how satellite transponders work, how HDTV is encoded and transmitted, and how you can create your own hacker event broadcast.
SPEAKER BIO(S)
Karl Koscher is a technology and security generalist with an emphasis on wireless and embedded systems security. As part of his dissertation work at the University of Washington, he and his collaborators were the first to demonstrate a complete remote compromise of a car over cellular, Bluetooth and other channels. He is a co-organizer of the Crypto and Privacy Village and holds an Amateur Extra license.
Andrew Green is a multidisciplinary jack of all trades, who specializes in information technology and broadcasting. He brings together many years of unique experiences, with a talent for understanding complex systems on the fly. He currently holds an Advanced amateur radio license, VO1VO.
