Data Distribution Service: Mitigating Risks Part 3

Data Distribution Service: Mitigating Risks Part 3

We created an attacker on the network that sends an RTPS payload with parameter Length set to 4 null bytes, causing the DDS layer underneath the ROS 2 node to crash abruptly. The Lidar sensor is still sending information about obstacles, but this is not delivered in time (if at all), causing the control loop to miss deadlines. Consequently, the robot will be blind to obstacles or won’t see them in time. Recommendations Following the…
