Closing the cybersecurity skills gap requires hands-on education that puts students in realistic scenarios to prepare them for the many challenges faced by cybersecurity professionals. As the modern world expands to more technologically focused industries, drones and small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (sUAV) have become capable and easily accessible. This uptick in drone usage makes them an increasingly tempting target for cyber attacks. This paper details an ongoing experiment in hands-on cybersecurity education at the undergraduate level to test the cybersecurity of sUAVs. To gain hands-on experience in ethical radio frequency (RF) hacking, we created INDRA: Sky Commander, a cloud-deployable penetration testing platform for sUAVs. INDRA is a project built, maintained, and evolved by undergraduate students as their capstone senior design.

摘要

Closing the cybersecurity skills gap requires hands-on education that puts students in realistic scenarios to prepare them for the many challenges faced by cybersecurity professionals. As the modern world expands to more technologically focused industries, drones and small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (sUAV) have become capable and easily accessible. This uptick in drone usage makes them an increasingly tempting target for cyber attacks. This paper details an ongoing experiment in hands-on cybersecurity education at the undergraduate level to test the cybersecurity of sUAVs. To gain hands-on experience in ethical radio frequency (RF) hacking, we created INDRA: Sky Commander, a cloud-deployable penetration testing platform for sUAVs. INDRA is a project built, maintained, and evolved by undergraduate students as their capstone senior design.
