🇺🇦 Ukraine's Massive Drone Attack Was Powered by Open Source Software • 404 Media
｢ ArduPilot is an open source software system that takes its name from the Arduino hardware systems it was originally designed to work with. It began in 2007 when Anderson launched the website DIYdrones.com and cobbled together a UAV autopilot system out of a Lego Mindstorms set ｣

Ukraine's Operation Spiderweb launched over 100 FPV drones targeting Russian airbases, using open-source ArduPilot software. Co-founder Chris Anderson was surprised to hear their creation played a role in the attack. Open source continues to shape modern technology and warfare. #OpenSource #Ukraine #Russia #DroneAttack #ArduPilot #OperationSpiderweb"

Die Ukrainische "Operation Spinnennetz" (Операція «#Павутина») ist schon ein Fraktal spannender Ideen… je tiefer man rein blickt, desto mehr dieser "eigentlich total offensichtlich! Warum macht das nicht jeder so?!"-Ideen sieht man.

Gerade gelesen dass die Drohnen mit #ArduPilot laufen und anhand fixer Zielkoordinaten gesteuert wurden. (Von jeweils einem Piloten via russischem Mobilfunknetz aktualisiert - live-Videofeed ging zurück, aber die können dann natürlich auch Satelitenbilder oder andere Aufklärungsdaten nutzen)
Einfach Lastwagen mit "üblichen" Dingen auf der Ladefläche (hier hölzerne Wohncontainer) irgendwo parken, vorher Dutzende SIM-Karten in die Drohnen und dann den Fahrer aus dem Land bringen, bevor man am nächsten Tag remote über's Mobilfunknetz des Feindes gesteuert auf'm Stützpunkt Dinge sprengt.
So bis zu 3,3kg Sprengstoff direkt an der Außenseite eines Flugzeugs können wohl schon leichten Schaden anrichten? :-D
Open-source code just changed modern warfare. Ukraine used the hobbyist-built ArduPilot platform to fly 100+ drones and cripple Russia's strategic bomber fleet—no Starlink, no warheads, just code.

#Ukraine's Massive #Drone Attack Was Powered by #OpenSource #Software
20-year-old piece of open source drone #autopilot software called #ArduPilot used by hobbyist drones powered an attack that wiped out a third of #Russia’s strategic long range #bombers on Sunday afternoon, in one of the most daring and technically coordinated attacks in the #war.
It wasn’t the first time and it won’t be the last.

Die freie Software #ArduPilot spielte bei der "Aktion #Spinnennetz" der #Ukraine gegen russische Langstreckenbomber eine entscheidende Rolle. Das Open-Source-Tool wurde vor 18 Jahren als Hobbyprojekt gestartet. https://winfuture.de/news,151353.html?utm_source=Mastodon&utm_medium=ManualStatus&utm_campaign=SocialMedia

@bagder : "look my open source software runs on a mars rover"
#ardupilot folks: that's cute. did it take out an A-50??

Tried #ArduPilot? 😄
:ecko: 🚜Ich werfe das einmal hier in die Welt, ich baue an einem #Agrarroboter und würde mich gerne mit Anderen austauschen, die praktische Erfahrungen mit #agopengps und/oder #ardupilot speziell im rover mode haben. #smartfarming #farmlife #bauernhof #projekte
I am looking for something to sink my money and time once again. Is there anyone out there that can mentor me achieving long dreamt #RC #airplane world today?
Specifically I am hoping to print my own delta wing and use #ardupilot to make autonomous orthophotography. I am lost how I can get into this best with limited budget.
Boosts appreciated =)
🚁✨ Just discovered that ArduPilot can now handle automatic landings for RC planes using a LiDAR sensor! This is a game-changer for FPV enthusiasts like me. No more post-flight repair sessions after every adventure! 😅 Time to keep my planes in one piece (hopefully)! #ArduPilot #FPV #RCPlanes #LiDAR https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=liXaIdFRWjQ more details on https://ardupilot.org/plane/docs/automatic-landing.html
Hard Lessons Learned While Building a Solar RC Plane https://hackaday.com/2024/09/09/hard-lessons-learned-while-building-a-solar-rc-plane/ #autonomousaircraft #solarairplane #SolarHacks #RCairplane #ardupilot
My new #readymaderc STRIX Stratosurfer is built (except for the servo linkages). Matek H743-WLITE running #ardupilot, M9N GPS + compass, airspeed sensor. Thinking I'll add a LIDAR rangefinder to the belly to see if automated landing works. But I'll be flying it mostly in fully manual mode because watching it gently glide across the sky under my control is so satisfying and relaxing. #radiocontrol #radiocontrolplane #rcplane
Normal :ubuntu: #Ubuntu 24.04 LTS on the #RaspberryPi Zero W 2 works properly and doesn't exhibit the USB stack crash and freezes after connecting and communicating with an #ArduPilot USB device. So the decision now is between Ubuntu and :nixos: #NixOS. 😉
Fascinating to see the :raspberrypi: #RaspberryPi Zero W2 with #RaspberryPiOS freeze up beyond any hope when communicating with any #ArduPilot hardware (Cube Orange, mRo control zero, Matek, ...) via USB. No/less problems via USB-FTDI or UART.
We're approaching the conclusion that ArduPilot must send some data sequence that uniquely knocks our the Rpi Zero. Big Pi, no problem, other firmware on the autopilot, no problem.
Might try :nixos: #NixOS tomorrow 🤷
man kann also mit #ardupilot auch echte Schiffe steuern....
Der Typ davorne hatte an dem Tag nicht sonderlich viel zu tun.
Übermorgen dann Steuerungsversuch Nr2....
Hei kaikki RC harrastajat ja mahdolliset ArduPilot konossöörit.
En tiedä aiheesta juuri mitään, mutta juupituubista olen paljolti videoita katsonut.
Silti edelleen on häsmän peitossa muutama perusseikka.
Haluan:
- Kuvaa lennokin kamerasta
- Käyttää groundcrontrol softaa seuraamiseen ja ohjaamiseen
- päästä alkuun helposti
Eli, minkälaiset radiovehkeet siinä tarvitaan?
Läppäri löytyy, sekä kädentaitoja ja tarvikkeita.
Radiohommat on kysymysmerkki.
We bring a simple 'table top' #UAS.
1. #UAV : A #BeagleBone Blue attached to a quad frame running either #ArduPilot or #PX4. We exploit network services and misconfigured firmware update
2. #GCS : Android phone and gamepad joystick controller running #QGroundControl. We exploit vulnerable apps on the phone.
3. COMMS: WiFi via the BB-Blue access point. We crack the #WiFi password and sniff #MAVLink off the air
The subtext is to demonstrate vulns in each of these subsystems and how you can use those to pivot from one to another.
Our audiences have varied from vendor sales and mgmt at Xponential to more technically mixed folks at BlackHat. Gonna be challenged to make it interesting for the technical audience at #PX4. But many UAS software engineers haven't really been exposed to how cybersecurity folks think and test, so I hope they find that fun.
