Hi David, my intention wasn't to have a go, it was to make sure the
problem iteslf is being correctly identified, and that there is actually a
problem to begin with.

RE: Parrot AR, it may be seemingly recognizable, but nowadays every second
quad coming out of China has the same look (WLToys V262 as one example).=20
Really, anything with large ringed prop-guards is going to look quite
similar from any sort of distance.

If it is in fact a Parrot AR, then it appears there is already a solution:
"SkyJack"

er-drones-turns-them-into-zombies/
Quoting:
"It uses encrypted WiFi, so Parrot apparently relied solely on the WiFi
protocol for security.

The "hack" is to force the drone to disconnect from it's approved WiFi
network using a DeAuth attack, and then supply the drone with a new
network (controlled by you)."

I hope that hasn't just put me on some government watchlist, that was just
the first google result
