If he had meaningful experience in this space, I'm sure Boeing or Airbus would have hired him ages ago. There are a lot of these people out there. Last year we had the same thing, when someone claimed they could have the IFEC satcom systems, but when he was on stage at the event, it turns out all of his crazy claims were just theoretical, and he actually had no idea what he was talking about. |
Guy who tweeted jokes about taking control of airliner is in an FBI affidavit application where he claimed to have briefly taken control of a commercial flight:

So apparently this guy also hacked the ISS. Riiiiiiiggght.

A passenger hacking and commandeering the cockpit? Well, how about a non-passenger remotely hacking a car's entertainment and other systems and commandeering a car regardless of the driver's wishes:

The most impressive thing about that hack was that it was done over Sprint.

Chrysler wanted it brought to attention that Sprint -- with its legendary customer service -- may be in a position to minimize hacks like this. :D
That said, Sprint was bad for so long that it will take a long time for people to start considering them again. I wouldn't be surprised if they have to completely change their branding/name once their network upgrades are 100% done. |
Is an airplane, hackable. Yes. It is.
Is it possible based on hacking over WIFI, USB ports and all the garbage that one puts out on the internet, no, it isn't. Unless you know a TON about onboard electronics, there's no way. And even if you have access to the onboard electronics, (which you don't), you'd still REALLY have to know what you're doing. Not posting anything more about this. But this thread caught my attention :) And no, I don't know how. I just know a friend who works for one of the aircraft manufacturers. |
