Weaknesses in Satellite Television Protection Schemes, or "How I Learned to Love The Dish"

Presented at DEF CON 12 (2004), Unknown date/time (Unknown duration)

This is a beginning to intermediate level talk designed to give the participant a broad overview of satellite technology and where the holes are. I will not be teaching you how to steal service, but I will give you the background and information to understand how it could be done. Topics covered will include different programing you can receive, what kind of hardware you will need, and where to look for more info on the shadier side of things.
