This paper explores the problem of the security of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) by introducing the drone security scoring system (D3S). D3S is a security assessment method that analyzes the security of a UAV model by analyzing its components. Penetration tests were carried out to support D3S and identify potential vulnerabilities in UAVs. Specific cyber-attacks, such as deauthentication, flooding, and replay, were executed in an effort to take full control of the UAVs. Eight different UAV models were assessed using D3S, revealing notable variations in performance, both in control communications and video transmission. Security scores ranging from 0.9 to 4.5 out of 5 were obtained, showing significantly divergent security levels.
