Ask HN: How is Starlink kept secure?
13 by jonplackett | 2 comments on Hacker News.
I just saw the map of spacex’s thousands of satellites in orbit and it got me wondering how they can keep them from being hacked. If you have a web server you can do lots of things to help - blocking or whitelisting IPs. Rate limiting password attempts. 2FA etc, but also you can have physical access if things really go wrong. How are these remote systems kept secure? How do you prevent someone just constantly brute forcing the password? Or doing a denial of service attack on them? Presumably someone (Russia) has tried this given the use of Starlink in Ukraine. Just very curious how this task is approached.
