Talk Title: Red Team Activities in Civil Aviation

Talk Abstract:
This talk presents an in-depth red team analysis of civil aviation systems, focusing on critical vulnerabilities in protocols used by aircraft during flight and landing. The session explores how attackers can manipulate the Instrument Landing System (ILS) to divert aircraft during low-visibility landings, how the ACAS/TCAS collision-avoidance system can be exploited to trigger mid-air collision risks, and how spoofing the ADS-B protocol can mislead air traffic controllers with false aircraft data. The presentation includes real-world simulations, attack vectors, and defense recommendations to enhance aviation cybersecurity awareness and resilience.
