@jjack I see you accusing Koyovis of deleting a "comment" of yours

could you please let me know what are you referring to? Only moderators can delete comments. Are you referring to an answer?

room topic changed to The Hangar: General discussion about aviation.stackexchange.com The white zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only. There is no stopping in the red zone. [commercial-aviation] [general-aviation] [pilots]

Hello, I would like to introduce myself. My friends call me Sharky, I am 14 years old, and I have my dreams of becoming a commercial pilot. I've always been interested in aviation as a child, and I was introduced to this website while I was making a project last year for our design and technology classes. I don't understand what is meant by "white zone" and "red zone" in the room topic.

@SharkyPanda Hello and welcome to the site.

The thing in the topic is a reference to an old comedy film called Airplane!

Oh.

In the film, it's an announcement, and the next announcement immediately afterwards is The red zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only. There is no stopping in the white zone.

fine

:P :D

fair enough

once upon a time we also had a chatbot called "otto the autopilot"

-test-

jk

Quite honestly was my first time answering Bluephoenix's question regarding inflight wifi earlier 😅

Ok i found the link I'm here too! =)

@Bluephoenix hi! :)

@Federico Hi! Guess you are italian too from your name, correct? =)

@Bluephoenix yes, that's correct

@Federico me too! =)

@Bluephoenix worth also visiting security stack exchange if you want discussion on threat models in those sorts of environments. A few of us there have done that before :-)

@RoryAlsop Thx I'll give it a try checking right now =)

@Bluephoenix as the answers you have are useful in terms of connection between Internet and aircraft, but I guess you are interested in the infrastructure between that point and passengers

and of course you have edition.cnn.com/2015/05/17/us/…

@RoryAlsop that news article was discussed here a while back and I don't think it's relevant

@DanHulme it's a wee bit of a sideline, I agree - but some interesting research in areas of available access points

@RoryAlsop maybe, but (a) there's no information available on what he was actually able to connect to, and (b) none of the aviation professionals the guy spoke to take him seriously

@RoryAlsop Consider that my reasearch is begun 3 months ago, I have already read everything that is reacheable from an easy search on google, but still thanks =)

my pet hypothesis is that he was able to create a fake TCAS advisory with an ADS-B transmitter, or something similar

@DanHulme Oh yes - all the infosec world agrees there was exaggeration and at least one spoofing element

Well about this however there was a fresh new attack from the Homeland cybersecurity department, less than one month ago, csoonline.com/article/3236721/security/…

@DanHulme here and following chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/41209097#41209097 / cc @RoryAlsop

@Bluephoenix no, it's the same thing we are talking about

Btw my study atm is concerned with IFE like systems, but I want just structural and architectural data to do my consideration on my own and possibly create test framwork or a methodology for safe developing in that domain.

@Federico I was the date 17/05/2015 in the url and I thought was the one from IOActive

Indeed the link talk about that actually

yes, you're right, I got confused

@Bluephoenix during my research yesterday I read something about the passenger ______ not beig accessible remotely, I’ll try to get the source for you
