Tired of theory? This session has everything you want, big yellow aircraft flown by computers, pounds of highly volatile chemicals, CUDA, 50 Amp electrical circuits and the ability to attack networks, systems and cell phones interactively from a remote location anywhere in the world. We will demonstrate a fully functional open source autonomous aerial wireless hacking platform and explain how to pwn the friendly skies. The talk will cover actual construction and components of the aircraft itself and its mission support systems. From start to finish, we will discuss design concepts, lessons learned and potential pitfalls.
