Hacker Drones Hacking Drones

I love Hak5.org and their proof of concepts with real world practicality. It’s all fun and games and you get to peer into the hacker mind, where the combining of separate technologies can be turned from prank to cybercrime and it changes the threat landscape.

For Valentine’s day, my wife bought me a quadcopter so that I can play around. I was going to buy myself one as a reward for passing my CISSP test, but too much lolly-gagging around and not going after it, gave her the opportunity to surprise me with one today.

The following videos (there are two in the playlist) show a quadcopter, using a wifi pineapple, killing off another quadcopter. The second video shows Darren Kitchens explaining the script he wrote to help him accomplish this.

This video is how they used the same set up to do some rooftop packet sniffing.

If you are new to wifi pineapple, check out the video below.
