It’s 2019, and we live in an age of hackers. Drones are here, they are more popular then ever and today almost every child wants it. But are the drones protected, can they be hacked at all, and if so how? So Can Drones be Hacked? The answer is „YES“. They can, and have been hacked. There are several ways drone can be hacked and some of them are simple while some are complicated. When we talk about hacking a drone, this is not just a theory and there were already cases where the high-powered unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) increasingly employed by military forces were hacked.
One of the most famous examples of what happened to drone hacking is the one from 2011 when the Iranian military took control of the American UAV. They were able to do this by finding the frequency at which that drone was, and they used GPS navigation to bring it down. So when we talk about commercial drones, what programming language should you start out if you want to Hack a Drone? It does not matter, because all modern programming languages are wildly powerful and they can do all kinds of things.
