Abstract
This paper focuses on the problems that drones pose to digital and physical infrastructure, as well as potential solutions to combat these issues. One solution is incorporating drone usage into ethical hacking. These drone-based attacks are affecting not only economic spaces but also seemingly high-security areas such as prison systems. It is only a matter of time before critical infrastructure is targeted. Conversely, by simulating drone attacks, drones equipped with complex hacking tools and sensors can detect unauthorized pathways and infiltrate networks for the greater good. Incorporating these new practices would enhance digital and physical protection. "Drone vs. Drone" highlights an innovative perspective on the current and future use of drones. Utilizing drones counteractively permits a better security posture and improved protection for all infrastructure. This proactive approach ensures that advancements in drone technology are harnessed to support already-in-place defense mechanisms against potential threats.
