I saw a documentary recently where these drone commander bunker computers
were shown. They tried to obscure the software configuration from view, but
apparently they use vlc. If I wanted to hack the drone commanders I would
merely backdoor vlc for windows and wait for them to take the bait via
update.

You can see VLC for Windows in use at 12:35 in the video below. This is at
the JSOC UAV control room in Tampa Florida. Close to home for immunity.
Maybe JSOC needs a call from Dave...
