[regular]

Can Pakistan do the same to save lives of innocents ? Please do it .

Pakistani govt is not serious to save the lives of its innocent pplz. They giving chance to USA to control population of their country through reapers and drones........see our govt is so smart. U can advice ure govt. to control ure population theough drones strikes on ure pplz and USA will be more than willing to help U guyz too.........

American drones are not safe and Pakistan should take them away before they reach the hands of the extremists

 

[airuah]

Take them, they are all yours.

Just take them away from us and love them as much as you want and make shrines for them and golden palaces for them etc...

there is still some money left in Pakistan....once they are done they will move to UK...just wait for a few more years , your leaders will leave the country on their own as per your wishes lol

 

[xyxmt]

Why so much of hate towards the leaders ??

Buy Zardari and we will throw in Nawaz Sharif, Fazlu and Altaf....as a bonus we will give you that Molana you want for Mumbai attacks.

That is hardly 'hijacking'. I love the way people exaggerate tech sh1t they do not understand. Not even the foundation of it.

Sounds like all they did was transmit a Mw freq wideband noise.

 

[killerx]

these guys rock some hacking skills Pakistan leaders are pusssy so i think Pakistani hackers should come forward to stop drones
attacks on Pakistan

Sounds like all they did was transmit a Mw freq wideband noise.

And i think the com channel was not encrypted as it would be in the case of military spec drones.

Its a good thing those students didn't hijack a govt. own drone instead they hijacked from their own custom made drone.

 

[Kaniska]

Take them, they are all yours.

Just take them away from us and love them as much as you want and make shrines for them and golden palaces for them etc...

We are only intrested for your FM only.......Rest of them you can donate it to China...But we can send all our cong## politician in return....these c##gressi guys love you guys a lot...please let me know if this is a good deal...

There r drones that fly above ur house and can collect all ur PC info.

has been done.

but cracking an encrypted DSP is yet.

 

[Darth Vader]

Make the drone attack the houses of the leaders of the political parties while they are inside it.

Would be a great feat

Good IDEA i got 1000 =))

This experiment had been done with a civilian drone.

This is the drone:

Civilian GPS devices are unencrypted and vulnerable.

I think Iran used the same method for US drone..they spoofed the GPS signal and so changed the coordinates for the landing base.

Some hints from Todd Humphreys:

Those attacks do not take direct control of UAVs, but jam their ability to receive signals. That can confuse them and send them into holding patterns that keep them circling overhead until they run out of fuel and crash, or automatically land.

&

He suspects that may have been the case in 2011 when a CIA-operated stealth RQ-170 Sentinel was lost in Iranian airspace and surfaced days later on Iranian television. Iranian officials claimed they were able to commandeer the aircraft and land it safely at will, although Humphreys doubts those claims, saying a broad-spectrum jamming attack was more likely.

However, expect some remedial actions from US;

As a hint:

The military is wary of spoofing attacks, even though its equipment typically operates on encrypted and authenticated channels. Other systems, including targeting systems for large guns — howitzers, for example — rely in part on potentially vulnerable GPS systems. One $4.9 million contract awarded June 29 by Marine Corps Systems Command to Trimble Navigations Solutions Group of Dayton, Ohio, is for antispoofing GPS systems that would prevent the enemy from disabling targeting systems or redirecting munitions.

In addition, US have also developed a drone which can work in space and is not vulnerable to anything at the moment.

Wont it be easy to spoof the radio transmission rather than the GPS ?? Even encrypted signals could be manipulated by a "play-back"attack on almost all types of encrypted radio signals. This include your car remote for central locking and ignition too. The best part the H/W come less than $30 if you know wat to look for.

 

[whythiskolaveridi]

We will give them good quality stuff not bad stuff

And what is that? TTP, I guess.
