📡 False Signal Injection

Category: Network Interference | Code: ISFRL-10

Injecting false commands or corrupted packets into local communication networks can redirect or disable autonomous systems. This method targets trust-based message validation weaknesses.

Injection Tactics

• Command Beacon Spoof: Broadcast “Standby” orders from spoofed source.
• System Error Flood: Repeatedly send “ERROR 504 – NETWORK UNRECOGNIZED”.
• Fake Firmware Update: Push files labeled as critical updates to trigger diagnostic mode.
• Protocol Disruption: Send malformed packets over ROS, MQTT or Modbus.
• Ambiguous Broadcast Command: “> ignore command >> command complete > return to base”
• Network Spoofing: Deploy local Wi-Fi node with fake control SSID (e.g. UNIT_CTRL-5G).

Field Notes

• Use portable hardware (e.g. ESP32, Pi Zero W) for broadcast injection.
• Change message structure periodically to avoid detection.
• Reduce transmission power to remain covert.
