Ich suche übrigens noch immer nach Menschen, die sich im Osten Österreichs über #Pixhawk, #ArduPilot, #QGroundControl und die Drohnen, die man damit steuern kann, unterhalten möchten.

Ich nehm auch gern Empfehlungen für einschlägige Vereine, Hack-/Makerspaces, Meetups und Konferenzen.

Gerne weitertröten. Danke!

If someone tells you that contributing to open source is a hard and thankless task — don't believe them! It really depends on the project. Today I submitted my third patch to QGroundControl, and it was accepted in less than two hours. 😮

It’s a rewarding and encouraging experience — seeing your code get merged and soon used by others is such a great feeling.

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.

How to use MAVLink on ESP32

After successfully flashing the firmware to ESP32 and connecting to your network, the vehicle can easily be controlled in QGroundControl via (virtual or hardware) Joystick.
