This article outlines the steps I took to reverse engineer DJI drones using packet monitoring techniques with Wireshark. I also delve into the details of packet dissection and how you can develop your own protocol dissector using the Lua programming language. As more advanced drone systems are put into place and integrated into various sectors, it becomes ever more important to take into account the vulnerabilities they may pose.
