Hackers turn old Army drone into aerial WiFi sniffer

Recommended Posts

Of all the mods/hacks I’ve seen, this is both the most ingenious and somewhat scary. A pair of bored yet crafty American (not Dutch!) fellows took a retired Army Drone and re-deployed it with a new, lesser violent mission — to sniff for WiFi networks. Controlling the drone only needs human intervention for takeoff and landing. Once up in the air, pre-plotted routes using Google Earth keep the plane on it’s dedicated route.

Inside the drone, the downward facing WiFi antenna located in the nose is good for ~1,000sq. ft. of coverage at 400 feet up. After said wireless signals are sniffed and an appropriate network found, the drone will then automatically circle the area and continue feeding network packets back to hacker HQ, from which the hacking pair can eventually break into the network. And to think, they could be on the other side of the world as the drone. Again, awesome in implementation, scary in regards to potential scenarios.
