Phoenix 
Phoenix is a toolbox for detecting fake drones from real ones. Phoenix relies on the behavior of nonlinear dynamical systems by using the underlying stability criteria used to control drones during their flight.
The toolbox is for distinuguishing between the fake and real nodes in an IoT netowork. Real nodes are the nodes that have physical presence in the network. Fake nodes could be virtual nodes that do not have physical appearance in the netowrk. We have tested the toolbox particularly in this release for drones data (telemetry). But the implementation can be extended to any nonlinear dynamic system that has a closed control loop. A demonstration of our DoS attack by a virtual node (laptop) can be found here.

To evaluate Phoenix in a real-world environment, we have also constructed a custom-made drone. Links below show some of the trials that we have had in the field for recording traces:

The code that is based on the Lyapunov stability criteria. It reads traces and tells if the trace is fake or real.

Scripts for flooding telemetry and experiencing drones with DoS.
