Subtitle: On security aspects of ADS-B and other "flying" technology

Air-related technologies are on the verge of tehnological upgrade and advance in approximately the same manner the mobile communication networks and smartphones were 5-10 years.

As noticed in practice, these technological advances open opportunities for performance and innovation, but at the same time open great opportunity for security exploitation.

In this talk and whitepaper, we will approach the ADS-B (in)security from the practical angle, presenting the feasibility and techniques of how potential attackers could play with generated/injected airtraffic and as such potentially opening new attack surfaces onto AirTrafficControl systems.
