As satellites increasingly underpin critical infrastructure from navigation to communication they’ve also become attractive targets for cyber threats. This talk introduces AstroTrap, an innovative open-source framework that bridges this gap by simulating a vulnerable satellite gateway within a self-healing honeypot environment. AstroTrap emulates satellite control endpoints, uplinks, and telemetry APIs to lure attackers, while autonomously detecting, trapping, and recovering from intrusions in real time.

This presentation will walk through a live demonstration of simulated cyberattacks, showcasing how the framework logs attacker behavior, mitigates service disruption. Attendees will gain actionable insights into deploying low-cost, adaptable satellite security labs, democratizing access to critical infrastructure protection.
