The first open satellite cybersecurity toolkit for CCSDS protocol protection
π Why Space Needs Cybersecurity Now
Satellites are no longer isolated systems floating in space β theyβre part of an interconnected digital battlefield. As more agencies, universities, and companies launch CubeSats and LEO constellations, the risk of cyberattack on space assets grows.
From GPS spoofing to remote command injection, attackers can exploit unprotected communication channels. And yet, most satellites still use unencrypted CCSDS streams and rely on aging, manual defenses.
Enter Orbisect.
π°οΈ What Is Orbisect?
Orbisect is a cybersecurity and monitoring toolkit purpose-built for satellites, CubeSats, and ground stations. It decodes command streams, detects malicious activity in real time, and secures critical data using post-quantum encryption.
Developed for research, defense, and education, Orbisect is fully modular, closed-source, and demo-ready.

βοΈ How It Works
At its core, Orbisect integrates:
β
CCSDS Packet Analyzer
Live decoding of command/telemetry streams using GNU Radio + scapy.
π§ AI-Driven Anomaly Detection
Isolation Forest + DBSCAN models detect unusual telemetry patterns by NORAD ID.
π Quantum-Resistant Uplink Simulation
Secure command encryption using Rust and CRYSTALS-Kyber (via liboqs).
π§ͺ Threat Simulation Sandbox
Simulate jamming, spoofing, command takeover in Systemd +Docker+python
π Interactive Dashboard
Orbit tracking, anomaly timelines, map views, exportable forensics, and alerts.
π― Who Is It For?
Universities running CubeSat missions
Military space security teams
Aerospace cybersecurity labs
Independent researchers and students
If you manage or simulate spacecraft operations, Orbisect gives you visibility, defense, and testing β all in one toolkit.
π‘οΈ Why Itβs Different
Unlike static tools, Orbisect is:
π Real-Time: Monitors live telemetry via SDR or simulator.
π¬ Detect + Defend: Uses ML for anomaly detection, not just logging.
𧬠Post-Quantum Ready: Integrates CRYSTALS-Kyber via Rust FFI.
π‘ Sandboxed: Safely simulate attacks in a Systemd, Python and Dockerized environment.
π¦ Deployable: Fully Systemd deploys with SQLite and FastAPI backend.
π Roadmap: Whatβs Next?
Federated satellite threat exchange
Blockchain-signed log verification
OTA firmware anomaly forensics
AI-generated threat response playbooks
