Abstract

In this talk we highlight the fact that a huge amount of information is
sent unsecured via satellite broadcast data channels (here: encapsulated
in DVB-s). By applying straightforward data analysis it is possible for
any attacker equipped with a digital satellite dish and a DVB card PC to
derive extensive confidential information on single users (e.g., legal
name, banking details, monthly income facts, mail content etc.) as well
as to hijack the user's web identities (e.g., online auction accounts).
Many users do not seem to know or to care that broadcasted data can be
easily intercepted. Moreover, even commercial users let highly
confidential customer related data (e.g., tender calculation details,
negotiations with military customers) be sent unsecured via broadcast
channels.
