Today, I researched for a shift in my project's focus. As Cyberstart is no longer available, its window of opportunity closed, I have started looking into more direct applications of security skills. One field that I found interesting was that of drone jamming and hijacking - both the methods of preventing drone flight and of actually taking over, about which there are many intriguing articles. It is an up-and-coming field that combines several of the current Elab projects - the drone project, the radio project, and my own security focus. This needs more research, but I would like to try to interrupt communications in the drones that the Elab currently has (only in controlled, very low altitude flight, of course). Certain specific vulnerabilities have been highlighted recently, which I would like to try to replicate the use of, such as in this article.
