Listen "Drone Swarmer"
Episode Synopsis
The provided text introduces Drone Swarmer, an open-source project hosted on GitHub that exploits a vulnerability in the Open Drone ID protocol to create "ghost" drones. This device, built with an ESP8266 microcontroller and a NEO6M GPS module, broadcasts Wi-Fi beacons to spoof the presence of multiple, non-existent drones. The project is explicitly a proof-of-concept for educational and research purposes, highlighting security flaws in drone identification systems. It includes build instructions, code overview, and a disclaimer emphasizing the illegality of using it to interfere with actual drone operations. Future improvements and avenues for contribution are also mentioned, along with acknowledgements of prior research.
