Development of a GPS spoofing apparatus to attack a DJI Matrice 100 Quadcopter

Abstract

Global Positioning System (GPS) Spoofing attacks threaten technologies that our modern society depends on. To successfully develop defensive mechanisms against these attacks, methods to model the attacks and subsequently distinguish them from normal GPS operation must be developed. This paper primarily details the step-by-step implementation of a low-cost GPS spoofing and high-level spoofing data collection apparatus to model a simplistic spoofing attack that could be implemented with limited resources. The spoofing apparatus developed has been used to successfully attack a DJI Matrice 100 quadcopter and a portion of the collected spoofing data is presented.
