Abstract: The LEO satellite network has attracted a lot of attention due to its low latency and low link loss. However, its security has not received enough attention. In this context, we propose a LEO satellite network attack and defense simulation platform called MSP, which allows us to customise the distributed LEO satellite network for attack and defense simulation. On MSP, we implement four types of possible attacks on LEO satellite networks, namely DDoS, port scanning, FTP blasting and SSH blasting, and provide some mitigations. The experiments show that these four types of malicious attacks can bring risks such as network congestion, service disruption, port explosion, and password leaks to LEO satellite networks.
