No one will argue that modern smartphones can perform many tasks, ranging from simple “reminders” to more complex ones, such as tracking our location. What do you think, is it possible to hack using a smartphone, say, for example, an airplane? Can.
No matter how scary it sounds, Hugo Teso, an electronic systems security consultant, a hacker and part-time pilot of a commercial airline, says that he has created an Android application that can allow anyone to "force the plane to dance on its tune" by hacking the control system .
The working version of the PlaneSploit application was shown at the Hack In The Box conference. Thanks to him, the hacker managed to intercept the radio transmission between the aircraft and the air traffic service, and then at the expense of another communicative device “to seize control of the aircraft”, or to influence the actions of his pilot by reporting false data.
Such a hacker application was created only to demonstrate that this is generally possible and to convey to the owners of airlines information that they are more serious about the problem of security. By the way, we say that not a single aircraft, like the pilot, and the passengers, was injured. The system was tested exclusively in an artificially created electronic environment. And yes, to see and download it in the near Google Play Store just will not work.
