Since the start of the year the news has been filled with headlines about a palace on the Black Sea near the resort town of Gelendzhik that opposition activist Alexei Navalny claimed was built for Russian President Vladimir Putin. The Kremlin has rejected the allegations, while an oligarch with close ties to the president has said that he owns the complex, and intends to run a hotel there. What is certain is that signals from Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) in the vicinity seem to be interfered with, or distorted, remarkably often. Many observers claim there is spoofing going on to deflect prying eyes. What is spoofing?  But what exactly is spoofing? In this context, it is an attack whereby false signals are mimicked and transmitted to a receiver that misinterprets them as being authentic.

WITH gold-painted toilet brushes waving in the crisp Russian air, thousands gathered to mock president Vladimir Putin. From ageing babushkas to wide-eyed teens, they had answered opposition leader Alexei Navalny’s call last weekend to take to the snow-covered streets to protest at corruption, in what has been dubbed the “Flushin’ Revolution”. Putin, 68, is suddenly under pressure at home like never before after furious Russians in 100 cities demanded an end to his iron rule. For the first time in a generation, Kremlin watchers are signalling that the vast nation’s ruthless self-appointed czar may have been mortally wounded. And this week his enemies insisted that the man who would next year celebrate ten years in office now fears a grisly end like Libyan tyrant Muammar Gaddafi, who ended his life being dragged around the streets by victorious rebels.
