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
