Pirates of the aircraft just by ... smartphone software

You can imagine that there will be days, aircraft will be robbed only by a hijacker on the ground with a smart phone.

Internet security consultant Hugo Teso, 30, said the prospect might soon be over.

The expert said he created the PlaneSploit application , which can control the computer used on the plane, allowing the user to fully control the aircraft.

Some of the above information may be seen and adjusted by the PlaneSploit application.

Teso, who has previously been trained to fly commercial aircraft, says that with this technology, he can make the plane 'dance to his dance'. It is worth mentioning that the technology is not completely detected by security measures at the airport.

In a hypothetical situation, he can do everything with the airplane, from adjusting the air conditioning system to giving misleading information to the aircraft, causing it to go astray.

The hijacker can steal the plane with just a smartphone.

European and American carriers are keen to consult Teso on his PlaneSploit application.

Speaking at a conference, Teso said that after four years of research, he was able to influence the control systems of most aircraft.

To test this technology, Teso has created a model that simulates the operating system from the excess parts of the aircraft he bought on eBay, used primarily on commercial aircraft.

According to the Help Net Security website, the system operates based on the impact on radio waves between the aircraft and the flight control system, and then uses a second communication system to send out false messages to check. control the aircraft or to affect the operation of the pilot.

Teso thinks this is just a testament to the idea, and it may not affect the actual flight system.
