A hacker on the ground can take control of an airplane in flight.
Military and civilian aircraft, and even spacecraft, use an onboard computer network called MIL-STD-1553.
It's a protocol that allows them to communicate with ground radars, air traffic controls and aircraft displays. Therefore, if a hacker were to access the 1553 network in flight, the pilot could lose control of the plane's critical systems, with devastating consequences. This is why, recently, "Sandia National Laboratories" nw USA studied how to protect this important security network.
In addition to making access to this network difficult, researchers have developed a strategy similar to the "three card game": constantly changing network addresses, identification numbers assigned to each device.
But the operation is not simple, because while there are billions of network addresses available on the Web, the 1553 network has only 31.
The researchers managed to change these addresses randomly and also enter fake data so that hackers, supported by artificial intelligence (capable of automatic learning), do not learn to break the protection.
