Radio Tech Used to Hack Everything From Airplanes to Defibrillators



◾️Earlier this year an experienced team of researchers at Northeastern University’s Khoury College of Computer Sciences in Boston proved that an airliner’s complex radio-navigation system can be hacked by a $600 software-defined radio.

◾️The SDR (Software-defined radio), which is available commercially, was used to spoof the radio signals from a plane’s instrument landing system (ILS). This was not the first time software-defined radios were used to demonstrate a system’s vulnerability to hacking.
