MISSION 001Red TeamfoundationFree
MAVLink Trust Boundary
Identify and secure weak command/telemetry trust assumptions in a MAVLink-based control link.
30 minindividual modevirtual
MAVLink is one of the most widely used command-and-telemetry protocols in the UAS ecosystem. This foundation mission walks through a simulated ground-control-to-vehicle link and asks you to map where trust is assumed rather than verified.
Working entirely inside an isolated sandbox, you identify the boundary conditions that matter most for authentication and message integrity, then document the findings the way a product-security or Red Team engineer would report them: clearly, with evidence, and with a mitigation a defender can implement.
This is ZoneOfWar’s introductory Red Team mission and a common entry point into the UAS Red Team Practitioner learning path.
Learning outcomes
- Map the trust boundaries in a typical MAVLink command-and-telemetry link
- Recognize where weak authentication assumptions live
- Recommend mitigations a defender or engineer can act on
Prerequisites
None — this mission is a good starting point.
