1. How effective are attackers with regard to RF in eavesdropping, DoS & DDoS, MitM, spoofing and malware propagation? Are there any interesting case studies?
Attackers can be highly effective in RF attacks, including:
- Eavesdropping: Vulnerable RF signals can be intercepted and decoded.
- DoS & DDoS: Attackers can flood RF channels, causing disruption.
- MitM (Man-in-the-Middle): RF traffic can be intercepted and manipulated.
- Spoofing: Attackers can impersonate legitimate devices.
- Malware Propagation: RF signals can carry malware or by OTA upgrade.
Case studies: There are various instances of RF attacks, e.g., car key fob cloning, drone signal hijacking, and more.
Case study: Drone Hijacking
Drone signal hijacking, also known as drone signal spoofing or drone jamming, is a method employed by attackers to take unauthorized control of a drone by manipulating its communication signals. This malicious act involves disrupting or intercepting the radio frequency (RF) or communication link between the drone and its operator or GPS satellites. Here's a detailed explanation of how drone signal hijacking works:
