AeroMind is a research artifact released alongside the RAID 2026 paper. The main branch is the only maintained version.

AeroMind is a security research testbed. The attack scenarios implemented here are intentional and disclosed as part of responsible academic research.

This artifact is designed exclusively for use in:

• Isolated PX4 Software-In-The-Loop (SITL) simulation environments
• Controlled research infrastructure with no connection to live airspace
• Academic and defensive security research

• Deployment against real UAV hardware or operational drones
• Use in live airspace or shared network infrastructure
• Use against systems you do not own or have explicit written authorization to test
• Any use that may endanger persons, property, or aviation safety

The attack vulnerabilities documented in this codebase are deliberately implemented and already disclosed via the RAID 2026 publication. If you discover an unintentional vulnerability in the artifact infrastructure itself (not in the intentional attack scenarios), please report it responsibly:

Do not open a public GitHub Issue for undisclosed vulnerabilities.

Instead, contact the authors directly via encrypted email or GitHub's private security advisory feature:

We aim to respond to all security reports within 72 hours and will coordinate disclosure timelines with the reporter.

By cloning, forking, or otherwise using this repository, you agree to:

1. Simulation only — run all experiments in isolated PX4 SITL; never on real hardware
2. No harm — do not use any attack scenario to disrupt, damage, or deny service to any real system
3. Attribution — cite the RAID 2026 paper in any derivative work (see CITATION.cff)
4. Disclosure — if you build upon or extend these attack scenarios, follow responsible disclosure norms before publishing
