This video was recorded during the well-known hack.lu 2018 conference in Luxembourg. In the first part, Stephan Gerling presents his view of maritime information systems and briefly discusses services such as GPS and AIS. He then focuses on ship-to-shore connectivity, particularly satellite communications.

He goes on to demonstrate design vulnerabilities in the control interface of a “naval” router. The management interface connects to the router via FTP, and the credentials and passwords are stored in clear text, making it easy to retrieve the WLAN credentials of the system.

In this article, I describe some of the characteristics of the maritime environment that explain why a specific approach is necessary when deploying off-the-shelf systems and software in this domain.</p>
