Abstract

With the increasing use of unmanned systems in various fields, the security of these systems has become a major concern. In this paper, we propose a method for designing and implementing an attack on unmanned system interaction protocols based on vulnerability scanning. Through this method, we can identify vulnerabilities in the communication protocols used by unmanned systems and exploit them to gain access to sensitive information or control the system. We use a combination of vulnerability scanning, network analysis, and reverse engineering to identify vulnerabilities and develop exploits. We demonstrate the effectiveness of this method through a series of experiments on a simulated unmanned system.

Introduction

Unmanned systems, such as drones and autonomous vehicles, are becoming increasingly common in various fields, including military, transportation, and agriculture. These systems rely heavily on communication protocols to exchange information between different components, such as sensors, controllers, and actuators. However, the security of these communication protocols is often overlooked, leaving them vulnerable to attacks.

Attackers can exploit vulnerabilities in the communication protocols used by unmanned systems to gain access to sensitive information or take control of the system. For example, an attacker could intercept the communication between a drone and its controller and steal the drone's video feed or manipulate its flight path. Therefore, it is important to identify and address these vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.

In this paper, we propose a method for designing and implementing an attack on unmanned system interaction protocols based on vulnerability scanning. We use a combination of vulnerability scanning, network analysis, and reverse engineering to identify vulnerabilities and develop exploits. We demonstrate the effectiveness of this method through a series of experiments on a simulated unmanned system.

Related Work

There has been significant research on the security of unmanned systems in recent years. Most of the research has focused on the physical security of the systems, such as protection against collisions and crashes. However, there has also been research on the cybersecurity of unmanned systems, including the security of communication protocols.

One approach to securing unmanned systems is to use encryption to protect the communication between components. For example, Zhao et al. (2019) proposed a secure communication protocol for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) using elliptic curve cryptography. The protocol was shown to be effective in protecting against eavesdropping and tampering attacks.

Another approach is to use intrusion detection systems (IDS) to monitor the communication between components and detect anomalies. For example, Liu et al. (2018) proposed an IDS for UAVs that used machine learning to detect attacks on the communication protocols. The IDS was shown to be effective in detecting various types of attacks, including denial-of-service and replay attacks.

However, these approaches focus on protecting against attacks rather than identifying vulnerabilities in the communication protocols themselves. Our approach focuses on identifying vulnerabilities and developing exploits to demonstrate the potential impact of these vulnerabilities.

Methodology

Our method for designing and implementing an attack on unmanned system interaction protocols based on vulnerability scanning consists of the following steps:

Identify target system and communication protocols

The first step is to identify the target unmanned system and the communication protocols used by the system. This can be done through research on the system and its components, as well as through network analysis to identify the communication between components.

Conduct vulnerability scanning

The next step is to conduct vulnerability scanning on the communication protocols used by the system. This can be done using tools such as Nessus, OpenVAS, or Nmap. The scanning should identify any known vulnerabilities in the communication protocols.

Reverse engineering

If vulnerabilities are identified through vulnerability scanning, the next step is to reverse engineer the communication protocols to identify any additional vulnerabilities that may not be detected through scanning. This can be done using tools such as Wireshark or IDA Pro.

Develop exploits

Once vulnerabilities are identified, the next step is to develop exploits to demonstrate the potential impact of these vulnerabilities. This can be done using tools such as Metasploit or custom scripts.

Test exploits

The final step is to test the exploits on a simulated unmanned system to demonstrate their effectiveness. This can be done using a simulated environment, such as a virtual machine, or a physical testbed.

Experimental Results

To demonstrate the effectiveness of our method, we conducted a series of experiments on a simulated unmanned system. The system consisted of a drone and a ground control station (GCS) that communicated using the MAVLink protocol.

We conducted vulnerability scanning on the MAVLink protocol using Nessus and identified several vulnerabilities, including a buffer overflow vulnerability in the MAVLink message handling code. We then reverse engineered the MAVLink protocol using Wireshark and identified additional vulnerabilities, including a lack of authentication and encryption in the communication between the drone and GCS.

We developed exploits for the identified vulnerabilities, including a remote code execution exploit for the buffer overflow vulnerability and a man-in-the-middle attack for the lack of authentication and encryption. We tested these exploits on the simulated unmanned system and were able to gain control of the drone and steal its video feed.

Conclusion

In this paper, we proposed a method for designing and implementing an attack on unmanned system interaction protocols based on vulnerability scanning. We demonstrated the effectiveness of this method through a series of experiments on a simulated unmanned system.

Our method can be used to identify vulnerabilities in the communication protocols used by unmanned systems and develop exploits to demonstrate the potential impact of these vulnerabilities. This can help system designers and operators better understand the security risks associated with unmanned systems and take steps to address them
