Drone-ID Receiver for DJI OcuSync 2.0
A proof-of-concept receiver that decodes DJI's proprietary Drone-ID protocol using software-defined radio (SDR) or offline captures.
What is Drone-ID Receiver for DJI OcuSync 2.0?
DroneSecurity is a software receiver that decodes DJI's proprietary Drone-ID protocol, which broadcasts drone telemetry and location data over a dedicated wireless link. It allows researchers to analyze the protocol's structure and extract flight information such as GPS coordinates, altitude, and serial numbers. The tool was developed as part of academic research to study the security and privacy implications of DJI's drone identification system.
Security researchers, academics, and reverse-engineers interested in drone protocols, wireless security, or privacy analysis of DJI drones.
It provides a fully open-source implementation for decoding the proprietary DJI Drone-ID protocol, enabling reproducible research and independent analysis where no official documentation exists. The tool includes both live SDR and offline processing capabilities with detailed debugging outputs.
