Overview
You are a cyberattacker who plans to use malware to compromise an uncrewed aerial system (UAS). Develop a possible attack scenario for at least one of the following types of malware: virus, trojan, or worm. The attack will compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and/or availability of the UAS and/or the UAS data. You are free to target any part of the UAS environment.
Create an audio-narrated presentation in which you will do the following steps:
Identify the cyberattacker’s motivation to compromise the UAS and/or its data.
Identify the UAS system involved. Two popular UAS manufacturers are DJI (www.dji.com) and Parrot (www.parrot.com). You may reference one of their systems or another company’s system.
Identify the specific part of the UAS environment that you plan to attack. Explain how the injection of malware (virus, trojan, or worm) will allow you to gain access. If user intervention is required, how will you entice the user to intervene to assist with the attack?
Switch roles and become the defender. How would you detect/prevent the injection of malware on the system? How would you verify that you had patched the vulnerability? Is antimalware software, encryption, and/or hashing effective in preventing the injection of malware?
