DRAT

Abstract

Drones are usually associated with the military but in recent times, they are also used for public and commercial interests such as transporting of goods, communications, agriculture, disaster mitigation and environment preservation. However, like any system, drones have vulnerabilities that can be exploited which can jeopardise a drone's operation and may lead to loss of lives, property and money. Thus drones deployed must be carefully evaluated and selected. Pen-testing is a way to assess the vulnerabilities of drones but it may require multiple commands, files or scripts. In this work, we propose a tool to allow easy pen-testing and assessment of drones. Vulnerability assessment of the DJI Mavic 2 Pro is discussed extensively as well. Future work includes addressing the vulnerabilities of other drones and expanding the tool to conduct pen-testing on other drones.
