Spacecraft Software Vulnerability EXPOSED: Crash Demo! #shorts

The the previous mentioned example is is here. So, we have software running on a spacecraft and inside a ground station. And actually both ends are affected by this vulnerability. So, if we either using the previously mentioned protocol vulnerability change the data in the header that is sent to the spacecraft to like a value that is out of the norm or if we send with our own ground station an unauthenticated data package to the spacecraft, the software will crash.

So, we have on the right is our ground is our radio simulator. Um on the upper left, we have the onboard software running and on the uh lower left we have the ground station uh running.

Okay, so now we check we change to the encrypted channel on the uh ground software and now we'll send a uh command.

So, you can see that we got in the onboard software we got a segmentation fault and it will now uh restart.
