Hackers hacked the two satellites for some minutes


Hackers hacked the two satellites for some minutes



According to a US report recently claimed that hackers had managed to interfere with two military satellites, but one expert argues the amount of energy required would be too great for ordinary hackers.
The hackers took control of the Landsat-7 and Terra AM-1 satellites for a grand total of 12 minutes and two minutes respectively.
One might hope that the communications satellites suspended in orbit above the earth might be one component of the planet’s technology infrastructure that is safely out of harm’s way.
But as satellite communications enthusiast Paul Marsh explained at the London Security B-Sides event in April, there are reasons to doubt the reports. He spoke about a similar story, reported in the late 1990s, about hackers supposedly accessing UK military satellite communications network SkyNet and ‘nudging’ one satellite out of synch.
Whether Chinese hackers have that capability now is just one more matter of speculation to add to the opaque field of cyber warfare.

Get-esxcli will help us to run the CLI commands over the host directly but to extend it we cannot run certain commands directly over the host, In such case, we can use the below script to run directly on the host and achieve our goals. One shot with the script to achieve multiple targets My target was given to check the status of smartd services in each host and disable it, So I have put the commands on the variable $cmd and $cmd2 and executing it in all the machines,  which has been feed in the variable $machines , command get executed in all the hosts fed in the variable $machines . Script :  $user = '' $pswd = '' $cmd = 'etc/init.d/smartd status' $cmd2 = 'chkconfig smartd off' $machines = Get-Content "" foreach ( $MACHINE in $machines ) { Get-VMHost -Name $MACHINE | % {     $ssh = Get-VMHostService -VMHost $_ | where { $_ . Key -eq 'TSM-SSH' }     if ( ! $ssh . Running)
