Capec-599 Detail

Terrestrial Jamming

Detailed Communications Likelihood: Low Typical Severity: High

Parents: 195

Threats: T271

Description

In this attack pattern, the adversary transmits disruptive signals in the direction of the target's consumer-level satellite dish (as opposed to the satellite itself). The transmission disruption occurs in a more targeted range. Portable terrestrial jammers have a range of 3-5 kilometers in urban areas and 20 kilometers in rural areas. This technique requires a terrestrial jammer that is more powerful than the frequencies sent from the satellite.

Not present

  1. A terrestrial satellite jammer with a signal more powerful than that of the satellite attempting to communicate with the target. The adversary must know the location of the target satellite dish.

Availability
Other (A successful attack will deny, degrade, or disrupt availability of satellite communications for the target by overwhelming its resources to accurately receive authorized transmissions.)
  1. An attempt to deceive a GPS receiver by broadcasting counterfeit GPS signals, structured to resemble a set of normal GPS signals. These jamming signals may be structured in such a way as to cause the receiver to estimate its position to be somewhere other than where it actually is, or to be located where it is but at a different time, as determined by the adversary.
