Hacking the connexion from the drone to the pilot is doable, and has been done. You can take control of the drone itself and bring it back to anywhere you want.

Hacking the connexion from the drone to the pilot is doable, and has been done. You can take control of the drone itself and bring it back to anywhere you want. I've seen all that happen in a hackathon here in France, a few months ago.
Now of course, everything's going to be easier after all drone makers have legal obligation to provide backdoors for police.
- icebraining 11y agoThere are already multiple open drone firmwares, so the legal obligation is moot. And "hacking the connection" only works if they aren't autonomous and if the commands aren't signed, which you can't assume. Of course, I'm talking about a military threat; to shut down idiots flying their Parrot AR near the airport and such, those countermeasures are certainly more than enough.
