With SkyJack a user can take on the popular Parrot AR.Drone and control yourself. The developer Samy Kamkar also shows how the system can be installed on its own drone to search the flight to other drones.

SkyJack: Software assumes Parrot AR.Drone 2.0
The hackers , whistleblowers and businessman Samy Kamkar has struck again . This time he has developed a system that can take over the popular drones by the French manufacturer Parrot with the user. The Parrot AR.Drone 2.0 is controlled via an app for iOS or Android , and has a built-in camera which transmits its signal live to the mobile terminals . Kamkars project SkyJack allows , however, even strangers , to take over the drone without much effort.
In SkyJack is a Perl application for Linux. Use the WLAN software aircrack -ng searches for available SkyJack drones. The aircraft detects the software on MAC addresses, which can be unambiguously assigned to the manufacturing company. Once SkyJack has found a victim , the tool aircrack -ng uses again to interrupt the wireless connection to the owner and then establishes its own connection with the drone on . To control the stolen drone Kamkar relies on node- ar -drone , a Node.js client for the Parrot AR.Drone 2.0.
SkyJack and the army of "zombie drones"
However, the hunt for drones is not limited to one's own notebook: Using a Raspberry Pi, two wireless adapters and a USB battery Kamkar has a Parrot AR.Drone modified so that he can keep out of the air for potential victims out. Thus, the user should be able to build an army of "zombie drones". The SkyJack-Software Kamkar published on GitHub. How this tool works, explains the hacker in a video which you can find under this article.The public was in 2005 for the first time attention to Samy Kamkar. At that time he developed a worm to over one million MySpace profiles behind the note read, "but most of all, Samy is my hero" within 20 hours. The time still popular social network was shut down a short time to correct the error and Kamkar was arrested a year later because of that. After he pleaded guilty, it was forbidden to him for three years to use a computer. Then he began to work as a security expert.
