Summary
Boeing refers to flight safety – Researchers urge caution The US aircraft manufacturer Boeing was already informed about the research results in 2020 and had given the researchers permission to test their prototype on proprietary hardware. The mini implant uses the outdated communication standard ARINC 429 to overwrite legitimate control signals. Although physical access to the maintenance port is required for the attack, it can be reached without major hurdles.
Furthermore, At the same time, the manipulations on the advertisements of the pilots are deliberately concealed. The possible consequences are serious: The software can modify input from the flight management computer, redirect autopilot and manipulate performance data without the cockpit crew noticing. Dozens of people are regularly involved in such turnarounds – from luggage personnel to maintenance teams.
In addition, After installation, the device takes effect via the on-board Wi-Fi network, which is used for long-distance connections.
