Description
An adversary attempts to deceive a GPS receiver by broadcasting counterfeit GPS signals, structured to resemble a set of normal GPS signals. These spoofed signals may be structured in such a way as to cause the receiver to estimate its position to be somewhere other than where it actually is, or to be located where it is but at a different time, as determined by the adversary.
Prerequisites
- The target must be relying on valid GPS signal to perform critical operations.
Skills required
- High: The ability to spoof GPS signals is not trival.
Consequences
- Integrity: Modify Data
