Drone hijacking using Arduino and HackRF One

The contest goal is to take control over a drone.

  • drone control range: 2.4 GHz ISM,
  • control is driven by the module nRF24L01+

This project describes 3 ways to take control over a drone:

  • using SDR
  • using Arduino and nRF24L01+
  • replay attack using Universal Radio Hacker and HackRF One
