The word “hack” is used extremely loosely. Instead, consider just injecting a wireless signal into a non wireless system
In: Technology
Hackers cannot wirelessly hack non-wireless systems, that’s straight out magic. Not even the greatest hacker of the 21st century can hack my fridge or electric backscratcher.
Destroying electrical components wirelessly isn’t hacking, that’s called sabotage/destruction of property via EMP, and has been around for quite some time
It’s possible, yes:
1. Have a drone that flies to an interesting location and attacks the wifi network.
2. Once you’re on the wifi network, it almost certainly connects to wired devices at some point. It’s good practice to keep wifi as isolated as possible from anything important, but that’s by no means an universal practice.
3. Attack the wired device.
So you have, for instance: Drone => Wifi AP => router => wired server
Eg, I have a friend who is a complete luddite who doesn’t use any wireless technology, and you want to prank him over cell phone service. Well, you can’t phone him because he doesn’t have a cell phone, but you can phone me and convince me to tell him what you want.
