- Abstract
- In this paper we describe the security vulnerabilities of the Erle-Copter quadcopters. Due to the fact that it is promoted as a toy with low acquisition costs, it may end up being used by many individuals which make it a target for harmful attacks. In addition, the video stream of the drone could be of interest for a potential attacker due to its ability of revealing confidential information. Therefore, we perform a security threat analysis on this particular family of drones. We set the focus mainly on obvious security vulnerabilities like the unencrypted Wi-Fi connection or the user management of the GNU/Linux operating system which runs on the drone. We show how the drone can be hacked in order to hijack the Erle-Copter. Our aim is to sensitize the end-user of Erle-Copters by describing the security vulnerabilities and to show how the Erle-Copter can be secured from unauthorized access. We provide instructions to secure the drones Wi-Fi connection and its operation with the official smartphone app or third party PC software.
