![]() "Anyone can do it: phishers or Chinese hackers … it's like a very big Wi-Fi network that's easy to access." "What's interesting about this is that it's very, very easy," says Nve. And while that's not a particularly new trick-hackers have long been able to intercept satellite TV or other sky-borne signals-Nve also went a step further, describing how he was able to use satellite signals to anonymize his Internet connection, gain access to private networks and even intercept satellite Internet users' requests for Web pages and replace them with spoofed sites. ![]() Using less than $75 in tools, Nve, a researcher with security firm S21Sec, says that he can intercept Digital Video Broadcast (DVB) signals to get free high-speed Internet. ![]() In a presentation at the Black Hat security conference in Arlington, Va., Tuesday, Spanish cybersecurity researcher Leonardo Nve presented a variety of tricks for gaining access to and exploiting satellite Internet connections. But in beaming data to and from the world's most remote places, satellite Internet may also offer its signal to a less benign recipient: any digital miscreant within thousands of miles. Satellites can bring a digital signal to places where the Internet seems like a miracle: off-the-grid desert solar farms, the Arctic or an aircraft carrier at sea. Most people seem to think the Birdcam with live pictures of Greenfinches, Goldfinches, Bluetits etc.A Spanish researcher demos new satellite-hijacking tricks with cybercriminal potential. Which results in watching the Dreambox, the Birdcam or Freeview! From Slingplayer I can select, the Scart, the S-Video or the Coax. The camera has 24x optical zoom and is directed out of a window towards some bird feeders in my garden. I use the older (less fussy) version of Slingplayer (1.6 I think) as I don't think anyone has got the new (fussy) version 2.0 to run under Wine.Īs a BTW: I have an old camcorder, with broken tape transport but ok camera, connected to the S-Video IP (there is no separate sound IP for the S-Video IP). These are 'super portable'/'take anywhere' little machines but running Slingplayer under Wine has them running 'flat out'!! I would have preferred to use VLC and there is a Slingbox plugin for the Windoze version of VLC but not for Linux. Unfortunately the Slingbox uses a bespoke player (Slingplayer) and I need to run it under Wine (Windows compatibility layer) on my little Asus Linux Netbooks. I use the Enigma Webif to switch to/from standby and select channels. My Dreambox is connected to the Scart IP so unlike direct LAN streaming the Dreambox has to be switched On and not in Standby. It has infra red remote control OP but I do not use that. ![]() It has three video sources, Scart Input, S-Video Input and TV Coax IP (Digital Freeview or Analogue). It's very easy to set up and does all I wanted and more. Video streaming at full bandwidth direct from the DB on the home LAN will be fine though (using VLC).įor remote Audio streaming with VLC you will need to edit the s file (received from the D manually or use my Auto Edit script (vlcplsed.bat) to change the local LAN IP in the file to the DynDNS name.Īs for the Slingbox, I just went for the cheapest model (Slingbox Classic) and bought via e-bay (paid under £50). Not sure why you even need to access the DB using the DynDNS name when at home? Surely you only need that when you are at a remote location and accessing via the internet?Īs far as streaming is concerned, I assume you realise that your upstream bandwidth is only going to be between 250 Kb/s and 500 Kb/s so Audio streaming direct from the DB is fine but Video streaming will need a server with video compressor or a Slingbox (as I use). I assume the D-Link must handle it differently. I know nothing about the hosts file but the above works for me on Linux and with Windows (when I use it!). I have a Netgear DG834 series router and it just loops back to the Dreambox regardless of whether I use the local IP or the DynDNS name.
