Drone Security Testing Framework
The "Drone Security Testing Framework" is designed to assess and enhance the security of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) by simulating real-world attack scenarios. This framework deploys the ArduPilot firmware in a system-in-the-loop (SITL) environment on a Raspberry Pi, with a basic remote controller built using Arduino, featuring two buttons for drone boot/reboot and takeoff. To keep the testing process budget-friendly and risk-free, key drone information such as roll, pitch, yaw, and battery status are visually represented using LEDs connected to the Raspberry Pi's GPIO pins. The framework includes a comprehensive suite of attack modules that focus on exploiting vulnerabilities in drones. These modules cover a range of attack types, including Wi-Fi Deauthentication, Attitude Spoofing, System Fault Injection, Camera Feed Eavesdropping, and more. The framework guides users through the attack lifecycle, starting with the identification of the drone's Wi-Fi network, capturing packets to crack encryption, and then executing targeted attacks on the drone's data-link connection. By providing a controlled environment for testing, this framework aims to strengthen drone security by identifying weaknesses before they can be exploited in the real world.
