GPS Spoofing Our global society relies on the civilian GPS for our communications networks, transportation of goods, power distribution, financial transactions and emergency response, using precise location information and time synchronization. Unfortunately, the GPS system was not designed for this purpose. The civilian GPS has dangerous security vulnerabilities which now leave our global society at risk of serious disruption at any moment.
1) Hijack the truck, and then use GPS to send a false position signal to headquarters. Headquarters would see that the truck had stopped, but once the fake GPS signal was deployed, they would think the the truck was back en route. 2) Send a counterfeit signal before ever hijacking the truck. This way, even if the driver panicked and sent an alert, the attacker could make it appear that the truck was at a different location. This would require that the attacker disrupt and spoof the truck’s GPS signals from a distance, without close range contact. more... http://philosecurity.org/2008/09/07/gps-spoofing _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
