Drone Communication Analysis

Introduction

The goal of this project is to analyze the WiFi network on which a drone communicates with its controller. By doing this we hope to be able to replicate commands and send them from an outside source to "talk" to the drone and have it perform the commands from the outside source instead of the original controller.

Background

Previously, remote controlled planes and other flying objects communicated at low frequencies. However, modern drones communicate with their controllers in the high frequency range, using long range wifi as a result. These communications are much more secure and are much safer as a result. However, the result is that the main way drones are taken down is through signal jamming, causing either a forced landing or complete loss of control of the drone, creating an uncontrolled descent.

Tools Used

Kali Linux: Ethical hacking package addition for Linux

GNURadio: Software defined radio toolkit

3dr Solo: Drone made by 3D Robotics
