Can Anonymous shut down Russian military satelite access?

MathWizard:
Do they run windows ?

In a conventional direct sense, hacking is surely next to impossible, encryptions are so strong and so many back-doors in established operating systems are getting closed because they get revealed in so many small-fry attacks.

But... my first guess would be that with a series of low-profile "hacks" to propagate a rumour that a real direct hack has been achieved, or to manipulate some less secure data to give that illusion, or at least a perception that they're seriously trying... might just trigger an internal response to upgrade hardware or update some software, or prompt a lot of rebooting or reconfiguring or necessitate that personnel are moved around the building to perform any of that outside of their normal clearance level, might just put the system in a more vulnerable state... perhaps maybe

Or, if they (the hackers) themselves have no intention of trying, making it appear as though it's possible might just prompt others to try and maybe succeed or fail. Or even they (the alledged hack-ees) themselves could manufacture the rumour, hack eevblog accounts, pose such a question and get a mass opinion of ways they need to harden their system. You never know whether there are double agents who are already aware of that, ready to respond in ways that'll obfuscate the real plan... that would make for a fun movie.

I assure you comrade, Natasha and myself are observing for electronic hobby only. Please, continue amongst yourself conversing.

Don't think that the Russians would think too kindly to being Hacked and would just piss them off even More.
Their Motto is to Shoot first . & say sorry afterwards if at all .   :box:
 & to Advertise that you were doing such a thing would only mean .
 A) you have death wish .   :-DD
 B) IF you could Hack there Satellite . Should  keep Very quiet about it  :scared:

I get the sentiment, but there we have another motive for falsely advertising a hack... if every person who claims an ability to pull off the hack gets one soldier chasing them, that's one less soldier killing innocents... cue rousing music for a "...no I'm Spartacus!" moment.
