The UT Austin team used only about $1000 worth of equipment to take control of an autonomous drone and pilot it away under unauthorized control. The DHS, CIA, and US Military have a huge interest in spoofing GPS Iran stole a drone late last year using the same method. Of course, this attracted the attention of the Department of Homeland security, so you’d better stock up on GPS spoofing equipment while there’s still time. What do you think? Is this app sophisticated enough to pick up on this type of RF hacking?Ĭontinue reading “We Declare The Grandmaster Of Pokemon Go GPS Cheats” → Posted in gps hacks, Slider Tagged gnss, google earth, gps spoofing, Joystick, Pokemon GoĪ couple folks over at the Radionavigation Lab at UT Austin successfully spoofed GPS to take control of a small helicopter drone this weekend. When we looked at the previous SDR-based RF spoofing and the Xcode GPS cheats for Pokemon Go there were a number of people leaving comments that Niantic, the devs responsible for Pokemon Go, will eventually realize you’re cheating because accelerometer data doesn’t match up to the amount of GPS movement going on. That can probably be forgiven for the prototype version, but it’s that accelerometer data that is a bigger question mark. First off, that RF shielding box isn’t going to stop your fake GPS signals when you leave the lid open (done so they can get at the phone’s touchscreen). Google Earth then becomes the navigation interface - a joystick allows for live player movements, coordinates are converted to GPS signals which are transmitted inside of the box. Hardware setup means popping the phone inside and hooking up the signal generator and GPS evaluation hardware. They’re transmitting radio signals and are doing the responsible thing by using an RF shield box that includes a GPS antenna. Just about everything about this looks right to us. It broadcasts fake GPS signals to your phone allowing the player to “walk around” the real world using a gaming joystick. We are now ready to declare the first Grandmaster GPS spoofing hack for Pokemon Go.
Not the Pokemon we’ve been trying to collect all the hardware hacks, and in particular the most complete GPS spoofing hack. Since Pokemon Go blew up the world a couple of weeks ago we’ve been trying to catch ’em all.
