With quadcopter drones becoming an ever more popular trend among gadget aficionados, photographers, and even businesses, it should come as no surprise that rising among the growing wave of drone pilots are some individuals who seek to use the drones to peep with photographs or to collect sensitive information.

There are even potential applications for would-be terrorists to use drones to remotely deliver explosives payloads in places like public parks or town squares, which is why legislation is being passed to control the use of these miniature aircraft.

In the meantime, more and more people are becoming aware of the security threat these drones have on their private lives, which is why some applications are being developed by tinkerers to combat the use of these drones in their vicinity.

One such application to understand the security threats of a Wi-Fi system is to construct a drone disabler. Learn how on the next page.

    Ohhhhh, you mean a gun. My high powered pellet gun does quite well.

    Toy drones may use wi-fi for control but that is it. Some basic systems using cameras such as a Go Pro may use wifi to receive video signals but any serious system is going to use something with more range.

    Unfortunate if one is cleaning their gun and it accidentally discharges taking out a spy drone 😉
