If you’re looking for an interesting project to work on this weekend, youcan turn a Raspberry Pi into a device that will drop Wi-Fi controlled dronesright out of the sky with just a tap of your finger.

This post is part of our Evil Week series at Lifehacker, where we look at the dark side of getting thingsdone. Sometimes evil is justified, and other times, knowing evil means knowing how to beat it. Wantmore? Check out our evil week tag page.

The device concept, from Brent Chapman at Make, uses a Raspberry Pi, atouchscreen, and a couple of simple Bash scripts that execute some basicnetwork commands. When you tap the touchscreen, the Raspberry Pi findsthe drone’s unsecured Wi-Fi access point (used by the pilot to control thedrone via smartphone or tablet), telnets to the drone’s default gatewayaddress, and shuts down the system from the inside without the pilotknowing. Chapman’s guide also includes steps on how to build a Wi-Fisignal booster out of a large can so you have a much longer range for yourdrone disabler.

Keep in mind, this will only work on some models of Wi-Fi controlleddrones, and you should only experiment with this tool on your ownpersonal drones safely. Even then, Chapman explains that you do so at yourown risk. You can find the complete guide at the link below.
