Drone JJRC H68

The JJRC H68 is a budget-friendly drone with a built-in 720p camera. The code in this repository allows full control of the drone's movement using a joystick and also receives the camera feed (which can be used for image processing). The code was written in Python 3 and tested on Kali Linux 20.02.

To analyze the traffic, I connected my phone to the drone's app and performed a man-in-the-middle attack using airodump-ng along with Wireshark. I discovered that the app uses the UDP protocol to send control commands and the TCP protocol to stream video.

Useful Terminal Commands

1. Intercept wlan0 network:

tcpdump -vv -nn -i wlan0

2. Check for processes that might interfere with monitoring:

airmon-ng check

3. Kill conflicting processes:

airmon-ng check kill

4. Enable monitoring mode:

airmon-ng start wlan0

5. Intercept network in monitor mode:
