Flying Drone Steals Wi-Fi Passwords, Hacks Cellphones
Jul 28, 2011 | 5:09 PM ET | By Matt Liebowitz

Look, up in the sky: It's an unmanned flying drone stealing your Wi-Fi password and reading your text messages!
Mike Tassey and Richard Perkins are the proud creators of the Wireless Aerial Surveillance Platform (WASP), a drone specially rigged with hacking tools capable of capturing home wireless network passwords.
Tassey and Perkins will demonstrate the WASP's high-flying exploits at next week's Black Hat Security Conference in Las Vegas.

This is the second year Tassey, a security consultant to Wall Street and the U.S. intelligence community and Perkins, a senior security engineer supporting the U.S. government (and a one-time owner of an airplane hobby shop), will wow the Black Hat crowd with their homemade 14-foot flying hacker, Forbes reported.

Built from a retired Army target drone and equipped with HD cameras and a "cigarette-pack sized on-board Linux computer" with a 340 million-word dictionary for "brute force guessing of passwords," the WASP could be a quickly moving threat to home Wi-Fi networks.

They can hack me anytime they want to.

And why they would want to is beyond me.
