Course Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe recent expansion of Uncrewed Autonomous Systems (UAS) across various sectors presents significant security challenges, as rapid adoption often outpaces critical cybersecurity security engineering, leaving many of these systems vulnerable. The Dark Wolf Hacking Our Drone Workshop provides participants a comprehensive, hands-on understanding of drone security vulnerabilities and the techniques to assess and mitigate them. This intensive two-day program offers a deep dive into drone hacking, equipping cyber professionals with the practical skills and theoretical knowledge necessary to evaluate and secure autonomous systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe curriculum spans the UAS architecture and includes an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), a Ground Control Station (GCS) system, RF communication protocols, payloads, and log analysis. Through a combination of expert-led instruction and extensive practical lab exercises, participants will gain proficiency in identifying, exploiting, and reporting vulnerabilities across these diverse components. The workshop concludes with a focus on risk assessment, mitigation strategies, and industry best practices for securing drone operations, ensuring attendees leave equipped to proactively identify and secure autonomous systems against evolving cyber threats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e3.
