  SkyJack is a drone engineered to autonomously seek out, 
  hack, and wirelessly take over other drones within wifi 
  distance, creating an army of zombie drones under your 
  control.
...and then:

  No authentication or encryption is used by the Parrot 
  to secure the connection with the pilot.
Well, there's your problem!

It's actually just a wireless network that you connect to and send commands to the Parrot. It makes it really easy to control it from your laptop. There is a library for it that makes it possible to be up and running in under 5 minutes.

Library: https://github.com/felixge/node-ar-drone
