US DHS issues GA hacking warning
Apparently GA aircraft are now vulnerable to hacking. Cue the CASA shutdown of GA.... http://www.theage.com.au/technology/...2cbs.html?btis |
“The DHS alert does not apply to older small planes with mechanical control systems.” Seems the Auster will be ok then? |
Never gunna happen in OZ, our ASIC system will keep us all safe!....cough cough!:-)

People (some of them very close to home - and I know exactly who you are!! ) are regularly trying to hack my webcams site. I’ve found some Russians that are trying regularly to get into it too. |

The story relates to injecting false CAN bus messages (as used by Garmin, Dynon etc) into the EFIS. And it's a beatup.
A key principle in cyber security is that if you have unsupervised physical access to a target system, you effectively own it. Same applies here. If you have ill intentions and you have unsupervised physical access to a light aircraft, there is an infinite number of awful things you could do. Doesn't matter whether that aircraft is a Tiger Moth, or an RV filled with the latest electronic toys. |
.Here’s a good idea, let’s suggest to CASA that EFIS systems be required to have an approved user login page with separate user names and passwords for each pilot. All to be controlled by a designated and CASA approved system administrator. ...Then get them to require a 30 character password with upper and lower case letters, numbers and at least 2 special characters. The password to be changed every six months. ..........then have the sessions expire every hour in flight and require a new login. That will solve the problem! Should I recount the joke about dealing with a case of crabs? |
Beware some of the ointment treatment for crabs.... can leave you very sore ..and then very bald in private places.!!
OK Sunny...lets hear thr joke . |

Yet another example of the Fear Industry hard at work.
