hacking satellites - basicly, to cut the chase out of the subject, which is long....you need the right sound card.
TBS TBS6925 PCI-e Professional Satellite Tuner Card
My first tuners were only set-top boxes, the Sonysky 3000 and Aulin DS-6000. They are fairly unremarkable DVB-S blind-scan boxes built at a price. Standard definition was all they offered, but that was enough for Chinasat-6B.
The difference between Blind Scan and Full/Auto Scan became apparent when I purchased some cheap (imitation) QQBOX DVB-S tuners from China. They were counterfeit TBS QBOXes, and they are based on LME2510 chipset with a Sharp tuner. Aside from a crap-load of crashy drivers, the tuners did not feature blind-scan and had extremely noisy LNB power (500mv ripple pk-pk), causing reception issues all around.
Blind-scan allows for the tuners to automatically determine the decoding parameters from the transmission on the air (i.e. Symbol Rate, Modulation Mode and FEC), thus allowing you to identify and lock-onto short-term feeds. Full/Auto scan receivers only scan the transponder modulation modes which are recorded for that satellite in the transponder lists which are often out of date, and do not contain up-to-date information. Blind scan was what I needed.
And so I turned right to TBS, bought their TBS-8921 (as well as the USB version, the TBS-5921) which was troublesome for blind scan. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn’t and you didn’t know why. DiSEqC was a bit hit and miss, but for watching TV it was quite acceptable. It was the beginning of my ability to chase wildfeeds.
I wanted more, so I went right for the top. The TBS-6925 PCI-e Professional Satellite Tuner.
The Card
The card came boxed in an attractive coloured cardboard box.
The specifications are listed on the rear. There is a USB version of the card, but the top-end bit-rate is limited due to the USB interface. It has the widest modulation support – with 16APSK and 32APSK being uncommon in consumer demodulators. Support for generic stream and variable/adaptive coding and modulation is also special to this card.
This card supports symbol rates up to 45MS/s which is also higher than some of the cards available at the time which topped out at 30MS/s (and yes, services >40MS/s are already on the air right now!)
The System Requirements are listed on the box. Ordering from the buydvb online store, the products were delivered securely using DHL.
The card itself is shown with the low-profile bracket attached. The card comes shipped default with the full-size bracket installed. The low-profile compatibility helped as I was installing it into my HP Microserver N36L. Another good feature is that the card does not need access to an auxiliary power connector which can be difficult to find in HTPCs and SFFs.
The rear of the card shows a pattern of vias for grounding purposes, it looks really well engineered. It need a PCI-e 1x slot, which most modern motherboards should have. The card also features a loop-out, allowing you to cascade another card to receive, provided it’s also looking at the same LNB polarity.
The card does come supplied with a driver CD, remote control and IR receiver, but in the two years that I have owned it, I haven’t even used any of them. The reason is simple – I didn’t buy this card to just “watch” TV, I bought it to scan!
Updated drivers can be downloaded from the tbsdtv.com website, and they are constantly updated, even this year!
Supplied TBS Software
TBS supplies BDA drivers for the card, but to use it to watch TV, you will need to supply your own tuning software. The one I like most is ProgDVB, but AltDVB is also fairly common. Driver support for the TBS card is fairly good.
TBS provides a utility called TBS-Blindscan which allows for a basic blind-scan experience. You configure the parameters, hit start, wait for up to 30 minutes and you have a list of results. Blindscan on this card often reports symbol rates which are 1kS/s below the actual value reported by the transponder and satellite listings. I’m not sure why, but this happens on both my cards, so it’s possibly a driver/chipset/crystal timing issue, but it does not affect reception capability.
It also comes with TBS-TS Recorder, which allows you to capture raw datastreams from the card, whether it be transport stream or generic stream. It also allows you to tune into parts of a multi-stream and has just been updated with support for Physical Layer Scrambling codes.
Finally, it also comes with TBS-Data which allows you to use the card as the receive portion of a one/two-way IP-DVB satellite system.
The TBSDTV site also provides TSReader sources (now bundled with the latest TSReader), and Streamreader DLLs for certain software that requires it.
CrazyScan
CrazyScan is a graphical spectrum plotting, blind-scan, tuning and TS serving software by crazycat69. It can be downloaded from SourceForge. The software only needs to be un-RARed using WinRAR into a folder, there is no installation. You must also download the required libraries and StreamreaderEX-BDA are available from the Info page here. You may also need to download BLScan2 from here, although I’ve had problems using the BlindScan button within CrazyScan as it complains that BLScan Failed! That doesn’t stop you from using its most useful features.
I think crazycat69 deserves a lot of thanks – his software is so easy to use and so reliable, it’s the front-end for my card almost always. The software itself has probably sold a lot of tuner cards, and really takes advantage of all the hardware’s capabilities, turning the tuner into a signal analysis device!
There is some configuration required, but it is capable of working with almost any LNB set-up, and is a very reliable DiSEqC commander. Switching switches and commanding positioners is no hassle at all, unlike with some TV watching software. The main interface allows you to plot the signal strength vs frequency to see a spectrogram (scanned).
You can click on a position to invoke a window which allows you to perform a blind scan and view the result (modulation, IQ constellation).
You can then use this window to record the stream or send it over a TCP stream to an analyzer (like TSReader) or viewer (like VLC).
It’s extremely reliable and very versatile. Ultimately, if your tuner supports CrazyScan, and you don’t use it, you’re missing out.
Some other CrazyScan Examples
The main Ku-band satellites serving Australia include Optus D1, D2, C1/D3, Intelsat-18, Intelsat-19, Asiasat-4, Asiasat-3S, Eutelsat-172A and formerly NSS-6. The above example showed the scan result for Optus D2, some of the others are shown below. Unfortunately, as my backyard space at this house is rather limited and sky view is limited, there are no scans for some of these satellites. There’s not enough space for a C-band dish here either unfortunately, so I’m not chasing those for feeds. They’re not that commonly used for short-term feeds anyway since they need a fairly large uplink truck.

Insufficient Signal to Noise Ratio
I did bring my machine with my TBS6925 to my Dad’s house with the C-band dish to catalogue the sky – that resulted in many fruitful adventures and reports which guided further exploration. It’s amazing what can be found free-to-air (FTA – i.e. unencrypted) sometimes, and how some of those channels become “subscriber” (i.e. paid-for) channels in the Ku band satellites.
Conclusion
If you’re in the market for a satellite TV tuner card, there are many products from TBS and other companies which can fit the bill just fine. Many of them are cheaper than the asking price of around US$250, and would be sufficient for the regular home TV watcher.
But for those who are looking at this card, it is likely that they demand more of their products. They are likely to be the people who are interested in identification and reception of commercial satellite data hauls (say IP-DVB, generic-stream and multi-stream services), and wild-feeds (where the ability to blind-scan and lock many different modulations is very handy). They may be interested in regularly surveying satellites for service changes, and not needing to know any modulation parameters makes this a very simple operation.
The tools provided with the card by TBS do a “passable” job at utilizing the card, but free third-party software by Crazycat called CrazyScan is pretty much essential to getting the most there is out of this card. Through using that program, detailed analysis of SNR, BER and constellation diagrams can be made which are helpful in improving reception success through dish adjustments, and identification of problems. It also allows (in the recent editions) the scanning of PL code (Physical Layer Scrambling) which allows reception of even more esoteric services.
It is a fairly unique product, with very few competitors which can offer the same level of demodulation ability and performance. The price may be “high”, but its performance is unmatched. It was so good, I bought two. Yes. Two.
Now, in Australia, it’s fairly rare to encounter anything that’s of interest in 16APSK or 32APSK mode, so alternative products with CrazyScan ability and no APSK modes are available from competitors such as ProfTuners (e.g. Prof Revolution 7500 USB and the Prof Revolution 8000 PCI-E). They’re less than half the price (about US$72), so they definitely could be the preferable card for some. But at the time I purchased my TBS6925, I wanted to have it all – APSK modes as well – so there was (and still is) no other choice.
What would one need to do in order to hijack a satellite?
First, I learned a lot of my information from a combination of my amateur radio experience and an awesome talk I sat in at DEFCON 18. The majority of satellite systems are simple repeaters. The signal that comes in on a transponder is cleaned, amplified, and retransmitted. If you know the location and input frequency, and you pump more effective radiated power than anybody else, you win.
Many satellites also require command modules. These are used to interpret instructions to boost back into orbit or at the end of life, de-orbit into a "graveyard" pattern (or right into the atmosphere itself). Because most satellite systems are custom, it is a real crapshoot what you see for commands and security. I suspect that most command sequences are unencrypted and rely on the fact that a MITM attack on something in space is fairly hard.
Frequencies vary wildly from MHz to several tens of GHz. Your equipment needs to put out the right frequency through a dish that is the right size. Legally speaking, you will at a minimum foul the FCC or your national equivalent, by violating regulations on licensed broadcasting. Also, "birds" and airtime are expensive, so the civil liability if found can be bankrupting.
As far as taking a satellite transponder over is concerned, security relies on rarity of attacks, detection, and triangulation of the signal source. Then people come knocking on your door.
Finding a bird
First, you've got to have a target. Some satellites are geostationary, so they're easy. Other satellites have orbits that sending them in offset patterns around the world. The satellite will come into view at different elevations in the sky tracing different paths, so you'll need to know where it will be and how it will move in order to communicate.
Communications satellites tend to either be geostationary or part of a cluster of many satellites such that one or more is always in view of at least one ground station and any other point on the planet.
There are websites all over the place for this, and they often end up with military / disavowed satellites listed as people will track them with a telescope and then wonder why that one isn't listed yet.
Talking to a bird: Bands
Satellites operate on different frequencies, and the antenna used has to be sized to the frequency of the satellite. Most satellites operate in the microwave spectrum. The ubiquitous (in the United States) DirecTV / Dish Network antennas are usually on the higher end (smaller wavelength) of the spectrum. Because your signal has a lot of travel in its future and your target is small, your goal is to direct as much power in one direction as possible. Anything sent off to the sides, earth, etc. is wasted energy, so you will want an appropriately-sized high-gain antenna. Antenna design can be learned from amateur radio books on the topic.
Before someone chimes in and says, "You don't NEED a directional antenna and tracking motor," that's true... but it will help a hell of a lot. Just because your spot messenger or GPS doesn't have one doesn't mean you shouldn't use one if you can. It will keep your signal where you want it and limit the possibility of interference from or with other things using the same frequency. It also means that it will be harder for somebody to hunt you down. Being nicked just because you let strangers hear you might have some costs associated.
Talking to a bird: Protocol
Now we're getting a bit trickier. Some satellites are very simple, particularly amateur radio satellites. They receive a signal and they transmit that signal back. There are different variations of protocol, polarisation, modulation (QAM is a good one to understand), etc. If your target does more cleanup than just setting a noise floor and spitting things back out, you'll need to know that information as well.
Higher-level protocols may be standard IP/TCP, plaintext, encrypted, or some totally imaginary 17 bit codeword system that was dreamed up by a guy like Mel.
Taking over
You need to deliver more power to the right place with the appropriate protocol. Because almost every satellite is a custom design, that's challenging. If you goal is beyond simple re-broadcast, you're up against a big black box every time. Computers are small, low-power, and probably have next to nothing on them.
The best bet for MITM
If you can't afford to launch your own satellite, figure out where the ground station is and fly over it. Small aircraft are relatively cheap to rent (under $100 / hour to operate), tethered balloons may get high enough to have an effective angle, and if you're quite sneaky you can put something on the transmitter feed line itself.
Many smaller organizations rent their satellite time. I learned when I was 11 that the guy running the local news station's satellite truck is bored as hell when they're in between shots and will definitely show you all the cool things about his rig. Whatever he's renting is probably one of the easier things to get at because that has to be documented and relatively easy to work with.

Oded Regev 4Z5BS from Israel has written a small program called TRACKER that allows the creation of maps that can be combined with images taken from NOAA satellites.
I have test it successfully with NOAA images received with WXSAT and JVComm. With it you can see country borders and sea/surface boundaries.
The program is quite small but it comes with the world map so it is about 3.4 Mb in total.
Here is a example from a NOAA 14 picture decoded with WXSAT and added the country borders from the TRACKER program.
Several replies from test users, Oded send me a corrected versionv1.1 . It should work better now. There is still a known bug regarding fast Pentium computers.
The ORBIT program will not run on fast computers (somewhere around 300Mhz and above). The only way to fix it is running a TSR program that slows the computer in DOS mode. You will probably find such TSR programs here . In the next version Oded will try to add it to the release.
v1.1: Fixed bug in TRACKER.EXE with longitudes in the range 100E-360E (=100E-0E)

Hellschreiber, wich becomes worldwide a renewed interest is a very old mode wich was first introduced 1921 by Rudolf Hell.
The Hellschreiber is an early faximile communication , where only upper case letters were transmitted and received.
Hellschreiber is an asynchronous transfer mode where the signal is discretely coded. This means two things:
The transmitter does not tell the receiver how fast it transmits. It simply sends the message in it's own speed and the receiver must do it's best.
Hellschript is transmitted with either on or off signal. It was hence easy to implement on available radio equipement. One simply connected the transmitter to where the morse key would be. Such signals are very sturdy to radio noise. All unwanted frequencies may be filtered away.
The hellschreiber was invented by Dr. Rudolf Hell in 1929 . It was used by the Germans during WW2 and some receivers was built by the British and Americans to intercept enemy communications.

FM = Radiofax via shortwave
AM = Wefax via satellite
SSTV = Slow Scan Television
RTTY = Radio Teletype modes (Baudot, ARQ, FEC, CW and/or other digital modes)
AM = Wefax via satellite
SSTV = Slow Scan Television
RTTY = Radio Teletype modes (Baudot, ARQ, FEC, CW and/or other digital modes)
Software wich use the soundcard input, no other hardware required. Just plug NF output from the receiver into the soundcard input.
Software wich use a external decoder, you need a simple (HamComm) decoder between the NF output from the receiver to the serial port.
* = ATFAX requires a more elaborate decoder circuit ! (HAMCOM interface can be used in SSTV mode)

A new satellite wefax image decoding software called SATFAX from John Lee Wilson W4UVV is now available to the public.
It originally was written to accommodate the image noise dot saturation problem thet occurs when the disered 40 kHz bandwidth.
SATFAX was designed for the occasional wefax monitor who wishes to use an ICOM R700, R7100, or AOR 3000A (also other receiver/scanner that receive either 1691 MHz or the 137 MHz range) and soundcard in his computer with wefax software to receive polar orbiting and geostationary satellites.
What makes it so special is that in processing the wefax signal, the software compensates for the narrower bandwidth of receivers that typically have a 20 kHz bandwidth for wefax reception.
