Abstract
This paper discusses the aviation Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast Vulnerabilities such as Sniffing and Spoofing over it with the help of Software Defined Radio (SDR) by looking at data frame structure and no encryption on this kind of message, we were able to capture 1090 MHz and 978 MHz signals and decoding them and gather all necessary information from it. Then we tried to have visual information by using Virtual Radar and online aviation databases. So we successfully could regenerate and encode messages with our data input and resend them at the same frequency as we captured 1090 MHz. That led us to a spoofing attack, which we could confirm by receiving our own generated messages. And in the end, we had an idea to use Long ShortTerm Memory (LSTM) neural network to detect such spoofing attacks.
