Wireless Security (WPA)? about node-ar-drone HOT 4 CLOSED

Yes, it's pretty easy: See https://github.com/daraosn/ardrone-wpa2

from node-ar-drone.

libcrack.so has a post here that shows you how to telnet into the drone and
move around it's Busybox Linux file structure.

This user could see that WEP ecryption was set to "Off", but was unable to
enable and set encryption. Maybe you can?

"As you can see, an ath0 device is shown, configured as access point. I
tried to configure this wifi device with encryption (WEP), but I did not
succeed (maybe the chipset cannot support this encryption mode?)."

I apologize in advance as I know this is not the proper place to ask this
question, but I was unable to find a good site via Google and Stack
Overflow doesn't have much related to this particular topic... I figured
the users of this project would have a good understanding of what I'm
asking; so sorry in advance!

I just found out about this project and have been investigating picking up
a programmable quadcopter. The Parrot AR seems to be the most popular
choice, but I see that it doesn't use any type of wireless security out of
the box and already there are hacking bots out there stealing other drones.

So is there a way to update the Parrot to require some form of wireless
security? WPA would be preferred, but even WEP is better than nothing.

If not; is there a similar product to the Parrot drone that allows for
custom programming like this (preferably via JavaScript), but that is using
some type of encryption to prevent unauthorized users from hijacking your
drone?

Thanks! That's very helpful; I don't want to drop the cash on one of these puppies if there isn't some way for me to try and lock it down.

I think this is resolved, but if not then feel free to re-open.
