This research gets a lot cheaper if you hot glue a string to the top of the drone and hang it from a hook.

[@y.z.6517]

It won't say how exactly it falls. Would it regain control before hitting the ground? Would it land safely, or just crash into the ground? Would it fall beneath, or crash forward with inertia? Would it roll when falling? And so on and on.

You have done this and are talking from experience? Logic tells me the PID loop would struggle to correct from this external influence and would freak out trying to stabilise itself.

While that sounds like a good idea in theory, once the drone is hovering on it's own it only has an elevation window of less than a foot because as soon as it's hovering the string will be pulled toward the propellers.

Iran watched this video and used it to disconnect our military drone offline and messed with it's GPS to think Home was wherever they wanted it to land.

[@lux-music6321]

This is a comedic masterpiece

[@ReadTheShrill]

The speaker was incorrect about spoofing GPS. Jamming the GPS is trivial - you just broadcast a much stronger garbage signal. But actually feeding a GPS receiver signals that would cause it to calculate an incorrect location would be extremely difficult, if not impossible. You would not only have to mimic the signal from the satellites, but you would have to recalculate all of the phases of the signals, taking into account that the receiver knows, where the satellites are in space at any given moment. If it's possible, it would require some heavy-duty math, very fast computer (more likely a DSP), and very precise radio equipment.

[@JamEngulfer]

Isn't that how Iran stole a US combat drone a few years ago?

[@0150r]

You can spoof it by doing a replay attack. You capture the GPS signals from one place and play them back at another location. You could do this with recorded signals or in real time with more effort.

[@michaelharris679]

There are papers available that would walk someone with a decent level of experience through the process. It's on the high end of what one person could do, but definitely possible.

[@sharpfang]

@@0150r Except the timing would require impossible sample rate. The math to spoof the satellites isn't that hard. The protocol is rather simple. Hardware to emit it - offsetting one signal from the other with nanosecond precision to fake the light speed delay - that's trickier.

[@Anvilshock]

sharpfang That's not true. Well, it's partly true, but also not necessary. Instead of delaying the signal on the signal-generating side you can delay it easily on the HF side. Better yet, combining the two can easily achieve the ~5-15-ms range for a number of virtual satellites, plus-minus a few hundred nanoseconds each, to fake the (consumer-grade) signal position. Nothing too terribly unachievable with reasonably good knowledge of your actual position, an SDR, and a stable timebase. Prices for everything are in the $1000 range, and falling. (BBC article from 2012, and gps-sim-sdr on github)

[@thedwarfgimli5323]

Has nothing to do with prevention has everything to do with liability against the officer. If the officer didn't take it I'm many different scenarios it could mean his job depending on those scenarios outcomes. It wasn't "I must take this to prevent you from ever recreating this" it was "I must take this to show for the record that I witnessed what happened and did my best to start you at square one and past this interaction anything you do after is outside the realm of my liability as I'm not following your every move to find out if you acquire these things again to recreate it".

[@nathanaelsmith]

Based on my understanding of GPS, "spoofing" a GPS signal would be very difficult because the satellites do not send a location; they send a time. The receiving device calculates its location based on the time differences between the timestamps received from the satellites.

[@Spirit532]

You can still break GPS by screaming that you are *RIGHT HERE* and the time is *YESTERDAY*.

[@someguy4915]

Just receive that very signal, up the time by a millisecond or few and retransmit it but much stronger. Any nearby GPS client receives the valid time transmissions from two or three legitimate satellites and one that's slightly off the reality and might mix up the location. With one such a spoofing device it could be trivial for a device to counter this by calculating if it's realistic that a car navigation is 2000 feet up in the air for instance but that again could be countered by spoofing two such satellites.

[@richlaue]

There are points on the earth that send out the dame typ of GPS that the satellites use to determine their location

[@Willam_J]

Jamming GPS signals is quite easy. The signals your GPS receives are very weak. In fact, they’re actually below the natural RF noise floor. It would only take a few milliwatts of power to overpower the GPS signals in a significantly large are. As far as ‘spoofing’ GPS signals, to make the drone believe that it’s somewhere else, that’s already been done by more than a few people. Here is one of the best videos on the subject. The presenters are difficult to understand (english isn’t their first language), but it’s very interesting and informative. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oKitfICqnsSUrZI

[@michaelharris679]

It's been done by researchers. It'd take a bit of expertise to start from nothing, but it's possible. I think container ships have started using multiple GPS antennas to crosscorrelate the signals.

I work in the IT/Networking Industry and have to Administer a large number of "Busybox" driven Network Devices. It all depends on which Commands/Utilities were Compiled w/ the Installation, which you'll likely have to experiment w/ to determine the necessary Tools/Commands, etc. However, since the Bebop Drone Runs on Busybox, you should be able to Secure the Wireless via the IFCONFIG & IWCONFIG Commands. The 2.4 GHz Wireless Interface should be wlan0 and from experience, if there is a 5.0 GHz WiFi Interface, it may likely be titled wlan32. I would also imagine that there should be an On-board Firewall that you can also utilize, which you can likely use the IPRULE Command to Manage (If IPTABLES isn't Installed).

+SirWhitey There is a distinction between "an internet" and "the Internet". An internet is a mechanism for interconnecting devices in a network. The Internet is an example of one such network.

+𝑩𝒓𝒖𝒕𝒂𝒍 𝑨𝒔𝒔 𝑴𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓 As far as I understand, an intranet is manufactured term to describe something to an organisation, usually limited to some web servers. Such a entity could be an internet if it consists of several networks, but it wouldn't be the Internet (note the capitalisation). It all rather depends on how you define "network".

@@shawnwhitesell767 Tested it with the Bebop drone. It's Wi-Fi is completely unsecured and iirc it runs NAT 1. It is possibly to pivot from the drone to the owner's smart device, even while the drone is in flight, provided both you and the owner remain within range of the drone.

Short answer: No. Long answer: No. Because the router itself doesn't contain the internet. If it did, I'd have put that 16 Zetabyte SSD in my computer and reformatted it already. Your internet comes from a broadband or fibre optic cable buried underground that is installed by your ISP. That cable goes into a small distributor box (I think that's what it's called) on the side of your house and then you plug a cable into the port in the wall that box provides and plug the other end into the hub unit your ISP provides. That hub unit handles the authentication to the ISP and then allows the web traffic to continue on via Ethernet cable to your router... Untill Star-Link comes online... Then you'll be able to buy a receiver unit the size of a pizza box, mount that on the wall, near a window or anywhere with a clear line of sight to the sky and get your web traffic via satellite...

[@someguy4915]

Googled it?

[@logsupermulti3921]

Emerald1337 7331dlaremE depending on what operating system you have it could already come installed but basically it's a program that scans for open ports on a network.

A thousand metres, surely he isn't alluding to the infamous kilometre

[@MarcGyverIt]

It's actually 500 meters, or 1,640 feet.

why does a drone need a quad core gpu?

On board AI

Compressing video in real time for streaming. The WLAN wouldn't be able to handle a raw video stream, especially at greater distances. Ever wondered why old digital camera pictures are so huge? Because they don't have the processing power to compress them quickly, and you don't want the user to wait before he/she can take the next picture.

Seems unreasonable to me to have limits like no fly and altitude externally enforced by software. I understand the desire for safety from careless and possible malicious pilots but the foundation of a free society doesn't include preemptive law enforcement. Make an undesirable action illegal, then enforce the law for those that are found breaking the law, don't generally restrict function. Free choice is one of the most important values of a free society. Privacy laws, trespass laws, destruction of property laws, reckless endangerment laws are all we need, we don't need to specifically restrict and/or illegalize everything that could possibly be dangerous.

[@justrandom7214]

I agree but what do you expect from a chinese company ;)

[@oneofthesixbillion]

@@christopherbertoli7322 I'm absolutely with you on safety, and laws and enforcement which are within the scope of the danger and for accidents the likelihood of them. If you build a fortress for every slight possibility of danger then we'd have a ridiculously restrictive world that would still have as many dangers. Planes don't come down as easily as your apparent fear is. We don't need a moratorium on birds. I'm in favor of laws and rules but not reactionary ones.

This remains one of the most entertaining talks lmao

[@HelloKittyFanMan.]

So you're saying that the "he" in "He was hovering in my kitchen" is your loving label for your drone; not he, the kid, with his drone, who had somehow managed to infiltrate your house with it?

[@JaredConnell]

Because there is no kid, he made it all up to make an interesting narrative

[@HelloKittyFanMan.]

Maybe, @@JaredConnell, but let's see what HE says, since we're not mind readers. 😉
