"Kamkar said SkyJack "is primarily a perl application which runs off of a Linux machine, runs aircrack-ng in order to get its wifi card into monitor mode, detects all wireless networks and clients around, deactivates any clients connected to Parrot AR.drones, connects to the now free Parrot AR.Drone as its owner, then uses node.js with node-ar-drone to control zombie drones.""
""I developed a drone that flies around, seeks the wireless signal of any other drone in the area, forcefully disconnects the wireless connection of the true owner of the target drone, then authenticates with the target drone pretending to be its owner, then feeds commands to it and all other possessed zombie drones at my will," Kamkar wrote on his website."
""You can simply run it from your own Linux machine/Raspberry Pi/laptop/etc and jack drones straight out of the sky," Kamkar said."
SkyJack is software that autonomously identifies and hijacks nearby Parrot AR.Drone units over Wi‑Fi, enabling creation of a network of controlled 'zombie' drones. Deployment used a Parrot AR.Drone 2.0, a Raspberry Pi, a USB battery, an Alfa AWUS036H wireless transmitter, aircrack-ng, node-ar-drone, node.js, and the SkyJack program. The software forces disconnection of the legitimate controller, then authenticates to the drone by impersonating the owner and issues commands to seized drones. Detection relies on Parrot MAC OUIs in the Registration Authority. SkyJack can run from any Linux machine and the code is available on GitHub. The technique increases risks of aerial theft and unauthorized surveillance.
