This technology will doubtlessly be bought/borrowed/stolen/copied by US DoD and upscaled for use against battlefield drones and other "unwelcome" UAVs.

Paper, rock, scissors! If ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny, it's only fair that innovation recapitulates evolution.

Good luck!! hijacking Amazon Prime Air

Sync-multi-channel control with fast encryption and/or command-once-and-monitor operations will easily prevent drone hijacking. Hackers would have to insert false GPS coordinates or completely erase firmware and reload it before overcoming these basic preventative measures. Nice try though.

I dig this guy Kamkar. Love watching smart people excited about the work they're doing.

What happens when two skyjacks encouter each other?

Are we now at a point in society where if the challenge of stealing is technically complex the theft is some how glorified and the thieves are considered hip or cool? What a waste of talent. Impress us all by writing code to keep property in the hands of the owners regardless of hackers efforts. Legally, Mr. Kamkar can be sued for every theft of a UAV out there, so,,, now that I think about it,,, let him send out his super cool theft program.

@ RJB One would hope a group of industrious hackers would borrow, steal, copy etc. in order to use this sort of tech against the DOD, FBI, CIA, NSA, local law enforcement and on and on who believe they can use UAV's against American citizens. Now THAT would be something worth hearing about. Though I doubt they would ever admit publicly to being beaten by a bunch of hackers!

A way to intercept drones trying to cross a frontier? A way to intercept drug dealers deliveries? A way to steal Amazon future drone delivered packages? ......the sky is the limit, beyond the military apps.

watch Feds raid his place should said drone try to take down Govt drone alone anytime over US skies.
