I did this because someone was brutally honest
08/04/2024 at 21:15 • 0 commentsAbout a year ago I made a demo labs project called the Strix Interceptor and got way too invested. I blew like thousands on getting old 3DR X8 drones and a HackRF SDR. I wanted to build a hacking drone which by all means isn't original.
I built the damn thing just to piss on my neighbor because he used a DJI drone with a mousejack RF tool on me. I thought I could one up him and I most certainly did. Problem is I basically fragged his DJI drone and my own. Also once my drone went up in the air it was gameover for everyone. I used Ardupilot to map it all but I really couldn't control it once it was in the air.
Fast forward August 2023 and I presented it at DEFCON mostly just talking about what I was "trying" to do but failed to. For the most part I had welcoming opinions and ideas. But one person after my demo lab came up to me and said:
"Look it was a cool idea man but honeslty that sucked."
For the next 6 months I spent in depression jammies never wanting to touch drones or security again
