Finnaly gettin to have a better read of the OZBUSDRIVER link via #245

Identification of ADS-B System Vulnerabilities and Threats


Looks like spoofings out..

via Pg 8; "...The ADS-B signal can be spoofed...
...first broached (Dick Smith,) but the hype surrounding it soon evaporated..."


.... though they do seem to skirt thru any possibilitys of the GPS being turned off..

At least the critical bit is noted -

"The GPS is an integral component to the ADS-B system and any adverse effect has high consequence..."



Meanwhile, out in the real world, them future Osama's just keep trying...

"...A 26-year-old man from a Boston suburb was arrested Wednesday and accused of plotting to attack the Pentagon and the U.S. Capitol with remote-controlled model planes packed with explosives.
These are not balsa-wood-and-rubber-band toys investigators are talking about. The FBI said Rezwan Ferdaus hoped to use military-jet replicas, 5 feet to 7 1/2 feet long, guided by GPS devices..."


Could model airplanes become a terrorist weapon? - US news - Security - msnbc.com
