Free Internet - Hacking Foreign Satellites 

As with many things, it depends on where you are. The Amazon doesn't have good fiber internet

i think this is the only option you have when you live in the middle of nowhere or when you're on a boat

Well, you have to pay the internet bill monthly/yearly. This is a one-time fee. Slow, but pretty cool!

depends on your location, where i live i pay 45€ for up to 5 mbps and some of these satellites can do up to 300 kbps so it would actually kinda be worth it

@@-someone-.the internet wont be up when doomsday arrives😂 who do you think is gonna maintain all those services, websites, apps, games, data centers, etc?

Было очень глупо предположить, что защита современных Российских спутников (не кубсатов), довольно низка.

Facts... RU-vid was way better in the 2000s. We used to watch homemade car vids in 2003-2005 on my homies moms computer. We all had flip phones/nextels with chirp. Only way to watch RU-vid was on pC.

⁠@@user-sk6dh1kf2xbro RU-vid’s not up until 2005 what u talking about

There are way more tech and DIY videos right now than in 2012, RU-vid in 2012 was dominated by gaming.

Feels more like underground 1980s BBS to me

@@lanceward4665 and even then it was a dating site lmfao

Its hard my friend. You would think they would have rehab programs for people like us.

not a single video in sight of guys calling themselves on the phone which is as satisfying as this one

Ditto

Beautiful, wasn't it. :)

same

i dont envy the 50k bill for all that equipment though lol

I love to hear that I have that original RU-vid vibe of 2010. YT has become very generic with everyone doing the same thing. Thanks!

You can certainly rest assured, you may be many things but normal isn't one of them 👍@@peterfairlie2296

​@@peterfairlie2296Yeee. I remember the early days of RU-vid while I was in middle school, in 2000.

​@@ReligionAndMaterialismDebunked RU-vid diddnt exist until 2005

Yea, and when I saw this in the recommended I was shocked how RU-vid would give me something like this in 2024.

Hi Scott, thanks for your call I did receive your message! Is thee anything interesting on the NOAA GOES satellites I should be checking out?

You may be able to receive our GOES-East and GOES-West weather imaging and space weather data from the GOES Rebroadcast (GRB). You appear to have the equipment to do so.

This has got to be one of the coolest interactions i've ever seen on this godforsaken site

I agree

@@stefani.5737 fr

The concept of using microwaves for cooking food came from radar development. A WW2 engineer discovered that he could melt a chocolate bar with the radar signal. The power from my antenna isn't anywhere near what's needed to do that so don't you worry, I'm not running a primary radar system here.

Not powerful enough. You need some Serious power behind it to cook something.

Can't help but wonder if the LORAN systems from that time period caused cancer... my grandpa served in New Guinea during WW2 as a radar tech... thanks for your father's service

@@manonamission2000 I don't think that it is possible for non-ionizing radiation to cause cancer. The only type of non-ionizing radiation that I know of that can have an effect on humans is Very low frequency RF used for submarine communication. I remember reading a report that was written in the 70s which summarized the effects of VLF Rf on humans that were observed during various tests. The summary basically said that VLF can have an effect on humans but only if a powerful transmitter(I don't remember the exact value but it was something like a kilowatt) is used and the person is near it. And it didn't mention anything about cancer or something like that. Only things like tremors and an increased heart rate which were speculated to be somehow caused by VLF RF interferring with the nervous system. Edit: Just wanted to add that If you have a high powered transmitter that RF can cook you but I think that was not worth mentioning because almost no amateur has a access to a several kilowatt transmitter xD.

@@peterfairlie2296#PrimerFields. Magnetic arrays. Harness the power of it awl

Yup. Can't blame the guy either. Satellite-guy didn't like people. So he applied for the satellite job, cuz they said "It's lonely at the top"... But then there was Peter ;) Great content btw 👍🏻

I thought the camo was it but you’re right

Imagine that damned phone ringing in the middle of the night with some alien voices speaking on the line 🫠

Retro? Which one? That rotary phone is the pinnacle of technology and the wireless home phone is just a passing fad like the home computer. Vacuum tubes are the future!

hahahah 😁

what would happen if you did? Would you have ot stand in front of it for a while for anything to happen?

​@@Daniel-ng8fi its microwaves so i assume it comes with the same risks as a microwave in your home that's been cut open

Youd feel radiating heat, nothing that will turn you into ash but definitely uncomfortable briefly and painful if you stood for a minute​@@Daniel-ng8fi

In other words, an almost negligible risk of corneal damage via microwave heating?

ikr. that telephone gives me matrix vibes.

nah, it's not a hardline

It doesn't need to be Neo @@TheAechBomb

And......... he's gone...

there are worse things than fan noises tbh

He has a video where he has a bunch of phones set up in the back yard - I thought the same thing but then looked out my front door in our upper middle class, brand new neighbourhood and see my neighbour being tackled by the cops and meth scattered all over the street. I’d love this guy as my neighbour. He’d never get rid of me lol

"That guy is contacting aliens again" I could see neighbors saying that 😂.

My neighbors love me an some even subscribe to my channel... so no issues there. I'm known as the "Satellite RU-vid Guy" in my hood.

@@peterfairlie2296 i did guess so, you are a pretty cool content creator and do really interesting stuff

Phone phreaking, some would call it

I think captain crunch would have a difficult time lugging that stuff around.

Fun fact: before Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak made the original Apple Computer, they made Blue Boxes, small devices used to "phreak" phone networks. In an alternate timeline, Apple is nothing more than some defunct phone phreaking company

u can do it, yes we can

Wow Thanks! Much appreciated !

Thank you kindly!

I second this. The content most interesting to me is produced by people who passionately describe the rabbit hole in all its forms and content. Very impressive. Like the server hw too. Ex-Dreambox user here ^^

Thanks for watching!

Exactly!

Years ago, I was working for the company that made that diamond shaped dish, This one day I get a call from SES Americom, asking me for some help finding a wildcat transmitter. They knew we built good quality VSAT terminals, which is exactly what they needed for use as a reference station. I just so happened to have a test dish up on the roof, and the ability to lock the frequency to our GPS frequency reference. Using their precise knowledge of the orbits of the geostationary satellites and thus the doppler, as well as the side lobes coming from a bird 4 satellites away, they were able to nail down the offending transmitter to an ellipse of about 0.5 by 1 mile ellipse. It was pretty cool, and I got some great SES Americom swag out of it.

I worked on the relay system in the UK. Also worked on the very first computer controlled pbx system. I left the industry in the late 70s but was working for a computer company and ended up working on some of the first mobile phone systems didn't intend to.

The channel "This Museum Does Not Exist" has one of those mechanical systems set up and running, really worth a look! I think i may have found some archival industry footage or something on youtube as well.

@@ericlotze7724 The channel's name is actually "THIS MUSEUM IS (NOT) OBSOLETE".

I think he is loosing half the packets. Probably the VoIP adapter is set to 64kbps (8kHz uLaw or something), while his link is only 32kbps. The modem does internal TDMA synchronization.

When it started ringing the 2nd time I was thinking that very thing.

SIR DO NOT REDEEM THE ANTENNA

Hey Elliot, always great to hear that Mr. Robot is learning from me!

@@peterfairlie2296 haha! One of my favorite shows!

Same ✋

True science is a thin line between futility and failure. It inspires me to equally futile goals.

US Military owned and operated over 300 of them during the Iraq war in 2003.

Satellites are one of the most unexplored systems with lots of easy opportunities up there with so many satellites and insecure services. You just need the right equipment and expertise to gain access.

If anyone knows anything about electronics Mike is my man!

@@peterfairlie2296 I am still confused. I have an old ShawDirect system with dish,buc, and modem. It is not authorized. Can I use it to do what you are doing? Thanks

All the intel agencies are totally like who is this guy lol

Someone is paying the bills from the ip it looks like that someone is Network Innovations Inc either unknowingly because of some exploit or knowingly for certain people

I'm in the army and funnily enough we actually do use a similar setup for specifically that! ESB-E's are tasked with providing communications in environments where you likely don't have commercial internet and we can deploy our equipment to do exactly that, we can support close to 250 phones off of one team!

Ham radio

@@thewhitefalcon8539 yeah Ham radio is great, I use it too, but it's not always the best option, this would be a great extra option.

@@thewhitefalcon8539 problem with ham is someone has to be on the other end waiting. I love ham and am licensed, but it's not a perfect solution for all situations.

engineer gaming

Thanks for subbing

Awesome, thank you!

exit the matrix

🤣😂🤣😂🤣

There is no spoon because it'll take too long for it to download

It was in total pulling only 8 amps @ 120 volts which is 1000 watts

​@@peterfairlie2296 I added it up and it'd be roughly $84 a month in energy if you leave it running for 16 hours a day

Yes, that is totally doable. We'd then have 64 kbps!

So hypothetically, if I had a field and a lot of dishes found, I could get a few Mbit? 😂

@@dfgdfg_ for sure

Id imagine you would very quickly hit the max throughput of the satellite

​@@highlandrab19 I don't think so. But my guess is that the full throughput of the satelite is in the range of 100mb/s or may be even higher.

You must have been involved in VSAT to know this much.

@@peterfairlie2296 have worked on all sorts of satellite communications systems.

@@peterfairlie2296 It isn't the size of someone's appature that matters, it's how you use it. OK that is a lie. The smaller the apprature, the wider the 3dB down beam width. I would rather have a larger antenna. I have operated from 1m up to about 3.4m parabolic reflectors and associated equipment. Good content.

I have a 3000 Watt data center APC UP's connected to a 48 volt 40 Amp hour battery bank. And that's just to keep the power going before the generator kicks in.

Idiot

I was thinking the same when I noticed the IP address he got is in an ASN owned by US Electrodynamics Inc who are a satellite gateway company that boast they carry "Mission critical DOD services" according to their website.

Thanks!!!

maybe I should have watched the whole video before commenting... LMAO

yeah, I did test using G729 and it made a huge difference !

What about using Codec2? It would require Asterisk in both sides and sounds terrible, but hey, it works at 1.2 kbps

@@Marcianisto Theres lots of super low bandwidth codecs like Speex and orther proprietary ones. The SIP ATA supports: : G.711, G.723.1, G.729A/B, G.728, G.726, iLBC, T.38 and the nice thing about them is they are compact embedded analog telephony adaptors where it is the only piece of hardware you need besides a POTS phone and an internet connection in the field. You can make them call eachother directly ATA to ATA on whatever dial plan you want, you can change the ringing style and about a thousand other parameters. They meet or exceed an Asterisk system in the field for lots of reasons. The only time I have seen one break is because a PhD Geologist pressed & held the reset button in while rebooting it (which takes real skill) and it bricked the device as it was looking for a new firmware update. Other than that the only thing that screws them up is SIP VoIP traffic traversing NAT's.

How did you modulate the microwave oven magnetron? Would the frequency not be fixed at 2.45 GHz? I have heard of this being done for HAM ATV.

Wow, thank you!

Backed by what?

Thanks and welcome

You don't own or operate a server. In respect of the PSTN replacement, you plug your fixed line analogue telephone in to a port on the back of your broadband router. The router is the only equipment you need, and an optional UPS to provide power in the case of a power failure. The router is connected to your internet provider who also provides (provided) the PSTN service. So the Telco company that provided you with your fixed line analogue phone service will provide your VoIP service. That Telco that assigned your phone number to the fixed line phone connection will assign the phone number to the fixed line phone on your VoIP connection. IP addresses come into it, SIP and database services. Quite what happens when your Telco providing your PSTN fixed line service is a VNO running over Openreach, I am not sure, but I would anticipate that the VNO still ensures you get the same phone number assigned to that fixed line phone when it is connected in to the VoIP network - as that is fundamentally important. The transitipn to VoIP from the PSTN needs to be as seamless for the customer as possible. Therefore I envisage a technical solution where the VNO provides data to Openreach and Openreach register your IP address and the phone number provided by the VNO into their _database services_ application. All phones on the network have to be registered. It is likely that number ranges have been allocated to each VNO, and for the addition of new communication services the VNO can pick a number from their allotted range. Other approaches are possible but I suspect this is the most likely.

Where are you located?

@@peterfairlie2296 I’m in Northern California east of Modesto 60 miles from Yosemite national park

​@@NevadaFarmsStarlink?

@@evilleader1991 that might be the best..

Years ago I remember finding out there was a star code you could enter before the number you dialed that asked the network to use undersea cable instead of satellite when making a transatlantic call. I believe the use case was for modems which struggled with the satellite latency.

Glad you like it!
