| 2024 | Hydra: Attacking OFDM-base Communication System via Metasurfaces Generated Frequency HarmonicsabstractWhile Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS) have been shown to enhance OFDM communication performance, this paper unveils a potential security concern arising from widespread RIS deployment. Malicious actors could exploit vulnerabilities to hijack or deploy rogue RIS, transforming them from communication boosters into attackers. We present a novel attack that disrupts the critical orthogonality property of OFDM subcarriers, severely degrading communication performance. This attack is achieved by manipulating the RIS to generate frequency-shifted reflections/harmonics of the original OFDM signal. We also propose algorithms to simultaneously beamform the multiple RIS-generated frequency-shifted reflections towards selected targets. Extensive experiments conducted in indoor, outdoor, 3D, and office settings demonstrate that Hydra can achieve a 90% throughput reduction in targeted attack scenarios and a 43% throughput reduction in indiscriminate attack scenarios. Furthermore, we validated the effectiveness of our attacks on both the 802.11 protocol and the 5G NR protocol. Yangfan Zhang, Yaxiong Xie, Zhihao Hui, Xiaojiang Chen |
