In his upcoming Blackhat and DEFCON briefings, James will be presenting the result of several experiments looking at real-world security and privacy in satellite broadband communications. They found that it is possible for attackers using cheap home-television equipment to eavesdrop on the internet traffic of people who are thousands of miles away. In the briefing, he shows how this affects individuals and organizations ranging from home internet customers, to oil companies, to airlines.
