Squawk Code...
Sorry to bother you guys but I'm writing a book and want to be able to upload a computer virus to a 747
I thought I could maybe do this using the aircrafts transponder. Is there a computer connection between ATC and the transponder when squawk is used
Many thanks. Gary in the UK

Assuming it's the former, have a read of this:
Hijacking airplanes with an Android phone
It's deeply flawed (and was vigorously debated on PPRuNe when first published), but it will give you a fair amount of information on how it's (purportedly) possible to do something along the lines you describe.

You don't say whether you're writing fiction or a terrorist instruction manual.
Think about this.

There was something on the BBC News website fairly recently, about a bloke who claimed it was possible to hack into (I think) the FMC via the datalink, although it said that the parts he'd used, which were sourced (again, IIRC) via e-bay or similar were obsolete and so more vulnerable that modern parts.
