Drone Hijacking

Preview:

DESCRIPTION

This Project uses a Panda board mounted on top of my drone (the attacker) to hijack other drones autonomously and fly them back to the station. The hijacking can be done autonomously. The flight control can also be done autonomously or remotely if we managed to connect to the Panda board from other network.

Our objective

To use our drone to “hack” out-of-reach drones to rescue and retrieve them back to base

Reasons behind our objective

Components used

Initial steps

• Searched how to hijack wireless network• Searched how to control on wireless network• Searched for limitations that will be encountered

Controlling the drone• Use a python library to control the drone from panda• Connecting the panda to AUC network to control the drone remotely • Create any number of instances to control the hijacked drone

remotely

Video streaming• Connecting AUC network• Creating a relay socket on the Pandaboard• Using the official Ardrone C++ SDK

Communications • PC connects to Pandaboard via:

• Wifi adapter 1 – controls our drone• Wifi adapter 2 – controls hijacked drone• Wifi adapter 3 – to hijack (we’re trying to combine this with 2)• Wifi adapter 4- connect to AUC network to relay video

Hijacking

• Installed Aircrack library• Compatibility with wireless drivers

Complete process

Problems faced• Bypassing the AUC network, LAN network, and wireless

network:• we had to analyze how it works, and then wrote a python script to

solve this problem• Bypassed wireless using application called WPA supplicant

• Device drivers:• Patched device driver and installed it on Pandaboard• We used wireless devices from the same vendor (so it is driver

compatible)

• Same IP class for the two drones:• Connected to the drone box and changed our drones IP class

• Using minimum number of wifi adapters

Problems faced continued• AR DRONE HAS 4 PORTS:

• 2 For Controlling the drone • 1 for Navigation data• 1 for video streaming

• Issue due to 4 PORTS:• We had to tweak the python library so it works only on the control

ports, when it used all 4 we couldn’t do the streaming.• We also then tweaked the C++ SDK to do the video streaming

separately.
