“I believe that the fact that one with 200$ hardware would actually be able to broadcast at 1090MHz and produce some fake ADS-B aircraft tracks highlights a serious weakness in ADS-B design.”
Does this means there is no way to validate an ADS-B message whether it is from a real aircraft? This sounds too easy to tigger a wide scale ADS-B spoof attack and websites like Flightradar24 or FlightAware cannot protect against it at all?
