NyanSat, designed and developed by Red Balloon Security in partnership with the U.S. Defense Digital Service (DDS) and the Department of the Air Force, is a three-part virtual satellite hacking workshop. NyanSat kicked off the first of four virtual hacking workshops hosted by the U.S. Defense Digital Service and the Department of the Air Force and took place in the Aerospace Village at the first-ever virtual DEF CON 28 Safe Mode from Aug 6-9, 2020. These workshops are meant to be educational and the U.S. Government does not condone hacking for malicious gain.
