Iridium satellite network security review: how to connect, key attack vectors, and fun insights. Yes, it's SpaceX from the ’90s! 🛸 🔭💥👨🏻‍💻

Security researchers Sec and Schneider 😊 recently presented their research on the security and privacy of Motorola’s Iridium satellite network. For a long time, the network was primarily used by governments and the ultra-wealthy, but now we have some insights into its operations - and it doesn’t look so glamorous.

In the video below:

🛰️ Key security and privacy issues

🛰️ Interesting insights and fun facts

Why is this interesting to you?

Because Iridium is used not only by the military and oligarchs, but also in:

1️⃣ Maritime - Ship tracking, voice communication, weather data, navigation systems, emergency distress calls (GMDSS).

2️⃣ Aviation - Aircraft tracking (ADS-C), cockpit voice and data communication, real-time telemetry, emergency beacons (ELTs).

3️⃣ Oil, Gas & Mining - Site connectivity, worker safety, sensor data transmission, remote asset control.

4️⃣ Emergency & Disaster Response - Rapid deployment communication, coordination in areas where infrastructure is down.

Highly recommended! Enjoy - and share with your friends! :)
