bruh you can use an old DishNetwork and a cyberdeck to download those satellites images directly from the comfort of your home. also wierd satellite stationz
secrecy by obscurity of knowledge i believe it is called
From classified spy satellites? No shot. Unclassified stuff maybe, or civilian satellites. But anything military and/or classified is going to be encrypted, so unless you know the key you may be able to intercept the data but not make an image.
Check out r/amateursatellites/ on reddit (sorry, I’m a refugee and unaware if similar exists in the fediverse yet), there are whole communities of people out there who listen to weather sats with antennas in their backyards, it’s fascinating.

Nah, you can get images from weather satellites this way, they broadcast unencrypted/with old encryption that has been broken.
Ain’t nobody getting a feed from a modern GIS sat, let alone an actual spy sat.
Do you have any links for this? That sounds fascinating but my Google fu is failing me right now.

I’ve done it with a cheap RTLSDR and a similar setup to this Instructable, some soldering involved but it’s not terrible.
