In an increasingly interconnected world reliant on precise navigation systems, the threat of Route Guidance Attacks and GPS Spoofing Attacks has emerged as a critical concern. Route Guidance Attacks manipulate routing instructions to mislead users, while GPS Spoofing Attacks falsify GPS signals to deceive location-based services. These attacks pose significant risks to transportation systems, emergency services, and digital applications reliant on accurate positioning. This research investigates the methodologies and implications of Route Guidance Attacks and GPS Spoofing Attacks, aiming to enhance understanding and develop robust countermeasures. The study focuses on analyzing attack vectors, evaluating their impact on system integrity and user safety, and proposing effective detection and prevention strategies. Leveraging techniques from network security and cryptographic protocols, the project aims to mitigate vulnerabilities in navigation systems and safeguard against malicious manipulations. By comprehensively addressing the technical, operational, and ethical dimensions of Route Guidance Attacks and GPS Spoofing Attacks, this research contributes to advancing the resilience of location-based services and ensuring reliable navigation in the face of emerging cybersecurity threats.
