Dutch Hackers Create Wi-Fi Sniffing Drone

An anonymous reader writes "The WASP, or Wireless Aerial Surveillance Platform, has been built out of a hobby-grade airframe and open source Ardupilot autopilot, reports sUASnews. In the words of the Rabbit-Hole website, it's a 'Small Scale, Open Source UAV using off the shelf components. Designed to provide a vehicle to project cyber-offensive and defensive capabilities, and visual / electronic surveillance over distance cheaply and with little risk.'" Want a drone of your own? The makers have some pointers to helpful resources.

    How interesting that some fascist creep decided that this perfectly valid comment is a "troll". What do people think the whole idea behind a "volksdrone" is, no matter what the specific function of individual units might be? It's to address an imbalance of power.

    Sadly, it looks like we have a cop loose with moderator points.
