Maldrone bills itself as the “first backdoor for drones.”
Developed by security researcher Rahul Sasi, this malware
tricks a drone’s autonomous decision-making unit into
handing over control to a hacker. Once the drone has been
infected, that hacker can do anything from flying the drone
to the destination of their choice to making the drone just
drop out of the sky.

Sasi demonstrated Maldrone’s ability in a demo and outlined
the specifics of the malware on a hacker forum.

This isn’t the first time someone’s developed malware for
UAVs—it really isn’t—but it is unique for a few reasons.
First of all, as Sasi himself points out, past malware targets
the drone’s API, whereas Maldrone goes straight for the
brain—the autonomous decision-making unit.

And unlike past hacks that were specific to a particular make
and model of drone, Maldrone is designed to work with any
drone software. The demo shows the malware taking over a
Parrot AR drone, but Sasi says he’s also implementing the
malware on a DJI Phantom.
