Manuals on hacking military drones have been available online for quite some time, apparently. Research spotting weaknesses is alarmingly commonplace, an Israeli defense specialist warns, citing its possible use in the 2011 downing of a CIA drone by Iran.

The manual called ‘The Requirements for Successful GPS Spoofing Attacks’ was published in 2011, just a month before the fact [of the drone’s downing], according to Israel Aerospace Industries cyber-programs director Esti Peshin, who spoke on Monday at the Defensive Cyberspace Operations and Intelligence conference in Washington DC.
