Of course you can't hack a DC9, it's so old you have to kick-start the engines.

And, of course the question- do we really really really think there's real-time, in-flight accessible linkage to flight control systems, or some other vulnerability...Of course you can't hack a DC9, it's so old you have to kick-start the engines.
My paranoid side says "anything computerized can be hacked", and with that, assumed that the actual airplane flight systems are "offline".

I very much hope that VLANs are not the mechanism used to keep flight systems and consumer WiFi separate, as has been speculated.Mature discussion?

It's entirely possible that they share the same cabling infrastructure (cables=weight=cost), it's also entirely possible this whole thing is bullshit. The only way to know is to understand the schematics of the system.
But be clear - where there are access points to systems they are vulnerable - be that by wired access or by wireless. Firewalls are software (which is inherently buggy) and there are all kinds of buffer and stack overflow, obfuscation, spoof, denial of service, flood, brute force and other mechanisms of attack that can/could be performed. My learned friend tds will surely guide you further on the foibles of code and the perils therein.

The only secure computer is one that's turned off. And preferably also wrapped in at least two feet of concrete.
