They manage to decode the communications of the drones dji

DJI is one of the most famous drone manufacturer brands on the market. On more than one occasion we have spoken to you about some models of the Chinese brand. Although now he is the protagonist for completely different reasons. A month ago, the new drone control system based on its own protocol was enabled, albeit on an experimental basis.

This system uses WiFi networks to control and follow the flight of the drones on short trips. In addition, it will allow agencies the place of takeoff of a drone and also the option of locating its owner in case there are problems (accidents, infractions).

This system is being tested only on some models in the testing phase. This protocol developed by DJI is supposed to work in a codified way, so only those who have authorization can identify a drone. But, those responsible for Kismet have managed to decipher the communications of the DJI drones.

Kismet is a system intrusion detector. Thanks to reverse engineering work, they have found a way to decode these connections. So it is possible to capture the information from the company's drone records. So in case this happens, they can have access to a large amount of information. Both the drone itself and its owner.

DJI will most likely review this protocol after this discovery. In addition, it is in the testing phase, so it is sure that improvements will be introduced in the future. Although it is necessary to introduce a control to drones, to prevent the greatest number of problems, accidents and irresponsibility on the part of their owners.
