Hacker Team Wins $50,000 For Hacking A DoD Satellite At DefCon

DefCon is one of the world’s most famous hacker conventions, it’s been taking place in Las Vegas since the early 1990’s and I’ve been to a few in the days before I had children.
This year a collaboration with the Department Of Defense had a competition involving hacking of satellites, to be clear the headline Hack-A-Sat event was a structured capture the flag event and this was part of a much larger Aeorspace Village which focussed on computer security in aircraft and satellites.

There’s a playlist on the Air Force Research Laboratory youtube channel collecting the event, and of course

And of course DefCon has a website with the more general event including some top quality talks about the world of information security:
