CVE-2024-11166

For TCAS II systems using transponders compliant with MOPS earlier than RTCA DO-181F, an attacker can impersonate a ground station and issue a Comm-A Identity Request. This action can set the Sensitivity Level Control SLC to the lowest setting and disable the Resolution Advisory RA, leading to a...

DEF CON 28: ILS and TCAS Spoofing

This post is a companion to the DEF CON 28 video available here The purpose here is to give some practical demonstrations of two kinds of radio frequency spoofing attack against two different types of cockpit instruments that are found in virtually every single commercial aircraft flying today...

Airplane Hack Exposes Weaknesses of Alert and Avoidance Systems

The aircraft safety system known as the Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System TCAS can be coerced into sending an airplane on a mid-air rollercoaster ride – much to the horror of those onboard. Researchers were able to cobble together an effective method for spoofing the TCAS using a $10...

Jeopardising aircraft through TCAS spoofing

The Traffic Alert & Collision Avoidance System or TCAS was first developed in the early 1980s using transponders on aircraft to interrogate other aircraft within a set range about their distance, altitude, and heading. If a collision course is detected and the aircraft is suitably equipped, a TCA...

Schiphol hijack false alarm. An insiders view of what happened

I had the misfortune of being at Schiphol last night as this unfolded: All ended well, delayed by about an hour. Had the incident been real, it could have been much worse. Here’s what the pilot had to say about it thanks to @asantosb: Our flight was at D16, the incident flight was directly the...

A Pen Tester’s First Solo: Aviation Security 101

My colleague Ken and I are both private pilots with a keen interest in avionics and security. We were fortunate to have access to some end of life, functioning airframes so had the opportunity to start investigating the security of airplane and avionics. Here’s a primer for anyone interested in...
