SATELLITE THREAT ASSESSMENT & RISK MITIGATION

STARM

The satellite threat framework. Browse it the way you browse MITRE ATT&CK or Aerospace SPARTA: a column, a technique, a page. The columns are hardware, software, and network, because that is how this catalog is grouped. It does not copy their tactic list. Entries are the DIPS Threat Inventory. The paper cites that dataset and does not use the name STARM. IDs are for this site.

Hardware

10 techniques

  • HW-01Hardware Backdoors
  • HW-02Counterfeit Components

  • HW-06Radiation-Induced Soft Errors
  • HW-07Physical Tampering
  • HW-08Unauthorized Memory Access
  • HW-09Trojan Logic in FPGA
  • HW-10Malicious Peripheral Devices

Software

10 techniques

  • SW-01Wiper Malware (AcidRain)
  • SW-02Ransomware-in-Orbit
  • SW-03Zero-Day Exploits
  • SW-04Buffer Overflows
  • SW-05Insecure API Endpoints
  • SW-06Insecure Bootloader
  • SW-07Zombie Firmware
  • SW-08Credential Hardcoding
  • SW-09Unauthorized Command Execution
  • SW-10Memory Corruption

Network

10 techniques

  • NW-01Uplink Jamming
  • NW-02Downlink Jamming
  • NW-03Signal Spoofing (GPS)
  • NW-04Replay Attack
  • NW-05Eavesdropping (RF)
  • NW-06Man-in-the-Middle (MitM)
  • NW-07Lateral Movement (ISL)
  • NW-08Ground Station Breach
  • NW-09BGP Hijacking
  • NW-10DDoS on Ground Infrastructure
Ratings are a qualitative priority, not a probability of attack. The paper says this has not been validated in orbit.
