Jamming LoRa and Evaluation of Ease of Implementation

The number of wirelessly connected devices are on the rise. With increasingly capable devices becoming cheaper and more accessible, the threat towards these radio communications is steadily growing. One of the more common technologies in the low power and long range realm of these devices is LoRaWAN. With a selection of different readily available hardware, we have examined if it is possible to conduct jamming attacks on LoRa. We have also evaluated the ease of implementation, and found that it is possible for less technically proficient persons to carry out effective jamming attacks on LoRa of different complexities using affordable hardware and open-source software.
