Comment on Satellites Are Leaking the World’s Secrets: Calls, Texts, Military and Corporate Data

You can do this same attack on any antenna, noise can’t be protocolled away. Repeating both signal and noise is a downside to bent-pipe setups.
Input frequencies are regulated via band-pass filters.

I’m not talking about technical things, just that IRL on regulated frequencies one can do something because people using it for bullshit are legally prosecuted. Depends on wavelength, of course.
But OK, now I think I get what you are talking about.

Oh. Yeah most bands used by satellites are also regulated.
