My neighbor’s kid is constantly flying his quad copter outside my windows. I see the copter has a camera and I know the little sexed crazed monster has been snooping around the neighborhood. With all of the hype around geo-fencing and drones, this got me to wondering: Would it be possible to force a commercial quad copter to land by sending a low-level pulse directly to it along the frequencies used by GPS? Of course, radio signal jamming is illegal in the U.S and, frankly, it would disrupt my electronics, too. In this presentation, we’ll look at some of the research and issues we encountered, when we attempted to force land two commercial drones (the new DJI Phantom 3 and the Parrot Bepop Drone) by sending GPS signals directly at the drones (while staying under the threshold for jamming and not disrupting anyone else).

    single person can be fined up to 112k for malicious interferance with a drone, but a state agency can't be sued for more than 100k for fraud. amazing.

    man, he gave cloud computing a whole new meaning

    If it's close enough to be invading your privacy, it's close enough to throw a rock at
  • @AilenProof
    FTP part got me. Jesus, so many vulnerabilities.

    "I'd like to see policy makes get informed before they start making decisions." This is the biggest issue technology faces, especially for the little guy. Laws tend to favor and protect big business and screw the little guy.
  • @ElizabethGreene
    This research gets a lot cheaper if you hot glue a string to the top of the drone and hang it from a hook.
  • @somenygaard
    That map at 6:46 is a little misleading due to the massive size of country. Those marks could be right on top of each other on that map and could still be many miles apart. Enjoyed the video!

    I was really hoping it would overwrite the home position. Then we could name it the "Scuttlebug".
  • @Skyfox94
    Great talk, great presenter. Would want somebody like that as my teacher.
  • @renovatiovr
    Given the fact the first drone was running linux and he had root, he could have done much more interesting things
  • @caveymoley
    So, hypothetically speaking, Could one hijack the drone, take loads of pictures of the neighbors, download copies, and then return control to the owner, and patsy them for your crime?
  • @rawpower2672
    Belarusians have actually made a drone with an RPG round tied to it to drop on tanks
  • @IsaiahClemmons
    man this was entertaining. its amazing how much of my potential i have squandered away.
  • @NotJustSomeGuy
    First defcon presentation I've fully watchers had me immersed all the way!
  • @Zeldon567
    15:45 What did he expect would happen? lmao that's fantastic.
  • @mustangrt8866
    I would have had filled the ftp directory with gore, and linked the /init script with *shutdown.sh so everytime it is turned on it turns off and cant even update/reset
  • @RadJordy
    I don't know about most of the stuff these guys are talking about, but this is the most fascinating thing I've seen in a long time.
  • @josephbolton5103
    Amazing detailed information speech I love the shell display amazing how it is so unsecure.
