Hacker Drones Turn Other Drones Into Zombies

Not a bad Christmas stocking present! Apparently it’s about radio controlled hijacking.

"Serial hacker Samy Kamkar has released all the hardware and software specifications that hobbyists need to build an aerial drone that seeks out other drones in the air, hacks them, and turns them into conscripted army of unmanned vehicles under the attacker's control."

Better get mine and start building!



Here's the story:

arstechnica.com...

It's still in its first stages and needs more work but
I'd like to buy and test this out, maybe on a drone that is 'up to no good'

Amazon is going to hate these.

Funny, that's exactly what I was thinking....can you imagine

And this is still early in the tech stage. iran took over one of our top dog drones and landed it to reverse engineer. If we make it far enough, no drone will be safe, variable frequency, and encoded controls will be childs play to hack, and the show will be interesting to say the least. next movie: drone wars, rulers of the unmanned skies!...

S+F.

It's just the natural course of things that technology causes counter-technology, just like violence breeds counter-violence / repression causes resistance.
