Five teams competed in the Hack-A-Sat competition from Aug. 11 to Aug. 14 as part of the annual DEF CON hacking convention in Las Vegas. The winning team this year was"mHACKeroni," a group consisting of members of five Italian cyber research teams. The first place prize was $50,000. In second place, winning $30,000, was the Polish cyber research team"Poland Can Into Space." And in third place, the joint British-American team"jmp fs:[rcx]" won $20,000.
In this year's competition, teams were tasked with hacking into Moonlighter in order to bypass the satellite's restrictions on which targets on the ground it can observe, command it to take a picture of that target and then download that image to a ground station.
