© 2020 IEEE. Drones or Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAVs) benefits for many activities from a hobby to military tasks. The drone is a sensitive vehicle because it contains delicate data of its communication as well as the system program. The price of drone is various from low to high. Hence, it is one of factors which encourage people to engage with drones. In addition, vulnerability about wireless network can be easily invasive due to low cost and uncomplicated attacking process. In this paper, we present investigation of wireless network vulnerability of drones including propose countermeasure policies for customers and vendors for preventing bad situation from an attacker. Moreover, we discuss a conclusion table for four different drones about its basic wireless network information as well as their vulnerabilities.
