87GT Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 http://online.wsj.com/article/SB126102247889095011.html Cliffs Militants in Iraq have used $26 off-the-shelf software to intercept unsecured live video feeds from U.S. Predator drones. Learn internet security 101 Pentagon before they figure out how to take control of the drones. Who uses unsecured wireless transmissions anymore? Oh that's right I turn on my laptop and I see a handful of unsecured networks around my house. FAIL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nurkvinny Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 There's always more to the story. Maybe we fed them a bogus video feed on purpose? Yeah, that's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87GT Posted December 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 There's always more to the story. Maybe we fed them a bogus video feed on purpose? Yeah, that's it. Highly doubt it. It is super easy to hack a satellite feed from direct tv. All you need is a dish, the right type of decoder box, a clear view of the sky, and a few software changes. And this is unscrambling encrypted video feeds for the record... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
