WTC,9/11:Can Hacking Take Down Enemy Israeli Drones In U.S.,Mexico,Elsewhere ?

First a rather strange excuse foir Israel to 'take out' one its own drones.They claim that it had an 'engine malfunction'.If so wouldn't you simply fly it until it crashes on its own rather than shoot it down.On the other hand if it were taken over by the 'enemy' and had now become a 'rogue agent' that might attack its owners and makers like a Frankenstein monster gone wrong then its maker would have every reason to 'take it out'.
This is the danger of drones besides their relative economics of scale.Now just about any nation may have the financial ability to make their own.
The problem for us as Americans is the same problem we have with our or Israels own war criminals enscosed in our military as well as in the NSA who are using the anti- Constitutional violation of our rights to freedom of speech and privacy to spy noy only on our political views but oen our stock market and stock and financial investments and use the sum totlal of this statistically to rob and loot our savings and our bank accounts.NSA's Air Force Generals Keith Alexander and the queer old NSA,CIA sleazebag, Air Force General Michael Hayden, should be under the same interrogation methods that they dictated for 'Al Qaeda' and their Israeli cronies that they have allowed to spy upon us and were involved in 9/11 as well!
W Bush lied after 9/11 in claiming that Saddam Hussein had 'UAVs' the first term for 'Unmamned Aerial Vehicles' and the first time most people had ever heard of what we would later commonly call 'drones'.
And so those who believe that the planes that crashed into the WTC on 9/11 or September 11,2001 do indeed have reason to believe they could have been guided by 'drone' technology by Israel and the U.S.government now but CERTAINLY NOT by Iraq or Saddam Hussein.
It would be better yet that those drones are not allowed to operate in the U.S. nor in the Americas in general for nation and inter American security reasons alone if they apparently go rogues and crash into startegic U.S.and American sites such as skyscrapers or nuclear plants in the first place.And if they do the Israelis who manufacure them in Mississippi and elsewhere should know in advance that they may pay the price with their lives.

Israeli Drones Fallin’ from the Skies Like Flies: Third UAV Sabotaged by Hacking

Israeli Hermes 450 drone shot down over Georgia by Russian MIG

Israeli media have announced that the IAF has “lost” (Hebrew andEnglish) yet another of its advanced drones, the Hermes-450, one of the most advanced of its fleet. This marks the third vehicle lost in a similar manner in the past six months. A fourth drone was “lost” two years ago and reportedin a post I published here. I note my Israeli source reported originally that the drone was operated by Hezbollah and deliberately crashed into the base. It’s also possible that Hezbollah or Iran took control of an Israeli drone and crashed it into the base; or that its Israeli controllers crashed it purposely because its navigation system had been hacked. I’ve previously reported (and here) on the various crashes.

Though Israeli security officials invariably call the cause of the failure a “technical malfunction,” it is only that in the sense that the collapse of the World Trade Center was a technical malfunction. In other words, these crashes were caused by an enemy hacking into the navigation system and taking control of the drone.

Here is how the air force explains its decision to destroy the vehicles in mid-flight:

IDF officials explained at the time that the decision to down the UAV was made due to concerns that control over the drone would be lost, and it might crash into populated areas.

In actuality, they weren’t in control of them and didn’t know what the Iranians or Lebanese would do with them. They might crash them into a building or air base inside Israel or they might fly it to Lebanon where they could study its components further.

Israel’s media itself may not believe the lies offered by the IAF. This is the Walla! headline:

Drones Falling, and with Them, IDF’s Credibility

The article also notes that the continued failures of the Hermes 450 have harmed the reputation of the IDF. If I were commander of a drone fleet I wouldn’t allow them to fly again till I had a totally new navigational system that couldn’t be penetrated. Though Israel did ground portions of its fleet after one of the crashes, it apparently didn’t help. To me, this indicates either IAF hubris or incompetence. Of course, Iranian cyber-engineers are no slouches as well.

An anonymous Israel source (not the one referenced above) sent me this e mail message today which was either written by a terrific bluffer, or by someone who knows what they’re talking about (my bet is on the latter):

The UAV didn’t crash, the UAV control center lost communication due to heavy interference in the COM link. After few very long minutes at which the re establish comm procedure failed, the CCC (control center commander) ordered the self destruction of the UAV. There was lots of drama as it appeared the UAV had a mind of its own or that someone gained positive control.

As I reported in the past, I don’t know for sure whether Iran or Hezbollah is responsible or some combination, but they are the most likely suspects. Here is what my source says about the latest attack:

The source of the drone hacks was electronically traced to Lebanon, so either Hezbollah did it with Iranian technology or IRG forces there did it themselves.

In addition, Iran announced recently that it had reverse engineered the same Hermes 450 which was downed yesterday. If it could reverse engineer it, it can figure out how to hack into the controls as well. This raises another issue: if it’s true Iran succeeded in copying Israel’s most advanced drone it did so in one of two ways; either it captured a drone in the way I suggest above or it gained access to its technical specs through some sort of espionage. If it captured a drone, that means there was yet another drone failure in which the Iranians actually succeeded in capturing the vehicle as it did a U.S. drone a year ago. Iran has boasted it has reverse engineered this vehicle too.

Ironically, the Israeli defense industry publication, IsraelDefense, will host a conference (Hebrew) on drone technology and cyber-issues related to it in a few hours. One of the key issues this Hebrew language articles indicates will be at the center of the event will be the issue of security, both how Israelis may penetrate the drones of their enemies and protect their own from such hacking. Given these failures, conference attendees will have their work cut out for them.

The operative phrase here is: what goes around, comes around. Israel builds these vehicles to spy on its enemies. It uses them to kill its enemies. I should add here that my Israeli source renews his claim about the IRG commander Mojtada Ahmadi, who was murdered a few days ago in Iran. He says the Mossad assassinated him because, among his offenses, was orchestrating the campaign to sabotage Israel’s drone fleet. I repeat, I haven’t been able to confirm this claim independently and nothing coming out of Iran says anything other than that he was murdered. So proceed with caution.

Israel’s enemies, in turn, will eventually return the favor once they have mastered the technology. It’s only a question of when and how. This is yet another part of the cyberwar drama being played out now between Israel and its enemies. First you had Stuxnet and Flame, then you had Iranian hackers taking down Saudi oil companies and U.S. banks. Now we have sabotaged drones and possibly assassinated cyberwar chiefs. This can go a long way and end up in a very ugly place (and likely will).
