Abstract:
Hack-A-Sat was a 4-years long aerospace-inspired cybersecurity competition organized by the US department of Air and Space force. After three simulated editions, this year's competition finals took place on a real satellite in orbit - called Moonlighter - and the Italian team mhackeroni won it. This talk overviews the Hack-A-Sat competition, what types of security challenges we had to solve, and the challenges of running a security exercise on a real satellite without turning it into space junk within minutes from the start. From here, we will reflect on how Capture The Flag cybersecurity games and competitions can have a role in academia and industry and become great teaching aids - drawing from 7 years of experience both as a player and an organizer who brought CTFs into university curricula and industry training for developers.
