He was surprised to discover a fully unprotected server on Boeing's network, seemingly full of code designed to run on the company's giant 737 and 787 passenger jets, left publicly accessible and open to anyone who found it.
He suggests that for a hacker, exploiting those bugs could represent one step in a multistage attack that starts in the plane’s in-flight entertainment system and extends to highly protected, safety-critical systems like flight controls and sensors.
But he and other avionics cybersecurity researchers who have reviewed his findings argue that while a full-on cyberattack on a plane's most sensitive systems remains far from a material threat, the flaws uncovered in the 787's code nonetheless represent a troubling lack of attention to cybersecurity from Boeing.
An attacker could potentially pivot, Santamarta says, from the in-flight entertainment system to the CIS/MS to send commands to far more sensitive components that control the plane's safety-critical systems, including its engine, brakes, and sensors.
But he says his research nonetheless represents a significant step toward showing the possibility of an actual plane-hacking technique.
"IOActive’s scenarios cannot affect any critical or essential airplane system and do not describe a way for remote attackers to access important 787 systems like the avionics system," the company's statement reads.
That's plane crazy, says Dreamliner maker
Black Hat A Black Hat presentation on how to potentially hijack a 787 – by exploiting bugs found in internal code left lying around on a public-facing server – was last night slammed as "irresponsible and misleading" by Boeing.
Boeing, however, insists the software on the second network cannot be exploited as IOActive described, nor can a miscreant direct the avionics from other networks, due to restrictions in place, such as hardware filters that only allow data to flow between networks rather than instructions or commands.
“We have got very limited data, so it’s impossible to say if the mitigation factors Boeing say they have work.
They told us work-in-progress software destined for the 787 was stored on a server belonging to the aircraft manufacturer's research and development labs.
This box had been, like so many databases and other systems recently, accidentally left open to the internet, which isn't particularly wise.
November 19, 2019: The Republic of Ghana declared at the Dubai Air Show that the country intends to re-launch an airline starting with the B787-9 Dreamliner.
Boeing and Ghana signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for three airplanes with a current list price of $877.5 million.
"There is a growing demand for air travel to and from Ghana and we believe the advanced 787-9 Dreamliner gives us an efficient and flexible machine to launch a regional network and eventually serve international destinations in the future," said Joseph Kofi Adda, minister of aviation and member of parliament, Republic of Ghana.
Honored that the Republic of Ghana has selected the fuel-efficient 787-9 #Dreamliner to help re-launch their airline.
Adda noted that the carrier, to be based in Accra, would establish the capital city as a strategic hub that serves cities across West Africa.
"Africa boasts a growing, young workforce and vast natural resources.
December 9, 2019: United Airlines launched its daily nonstop seasonal service between Delhi Airport and its hub at San Francisco International Airport on Saturday.
The Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner will operate daily during the winter months and three times weekly in summer.
United’s new flight is the first to be operated by a U.S. carrier between the two cities and is the airline’s third daily nonstop service from India in addition to the existing daily services from Mumbai and New Delhi to New York/Newark.
“We are excited to inaugurate our daily, nonstop seasonal service between Delhi and our San Francisco hub.
This new flight strengthens our international route network and provides our customers from India with even greater travel choice as well as the option of our new Polaris business class service, with flat-bed seats.
With a network of connections from San Francisco to almost 40 other destinations across the U.S. and Canada, the new service is opening up new opportunities for both business and leisure travellers alike,” said Harvinder Singh, country manager India, United Airlines.
The global aircraft actuator market size is projected to reach USD 16.98 billion by the end of 2026.
According to a report by Fortune Business Insights, titled “Aircraft Actuator Market Size, Share and Global Trend By Motion (Linear, Rotary), By Actuator Type (Hydraulic, Pneumatic, Electric, Electromechanical, Electrohydrostatic), By Platform (Fixed-Wing, Rotary-Wing), By Installation (Power Generation & Distribution System, Flight Control System, Fuel Management System, Landing Gear & Braking System, Passenger Comfort, and others), and Geography Forecast till 2026,” the market was worth USD 14.85 billion in 2018 and will exhibit a CAGR of 3.12% during the forecast period, 2019-2026.An actuator is a system that is used for controlling the movement functions of an aircraft.
The product regulates the motion and flow of the aircraft; an integral function as far as the operation of the system is concerned.
