RF Hacking Hack Chat | Hackaday

Be a part of us on Wednesday, October 12 at midday Pacific for the RF Hacking Hack Chat with Christopher Poore!

On the time scale of technological historical past, it actually wasn’t all that way back that radio was — effectively, boring. We’re not speaking concerning the relative leisure worth of the Jack Benny Present or listening to a Brooklyn Dodgers sport, however about the truth that for probably the most half, radio was a one-dimensional medium: what you heard was just about all there was to a sign, and radio was hardly ever used for something notably hackable.

Not so right this moment, in fact, the place something digital appears to have no less than one radio stuffed into it, and the house round us is crammed with a wealthy soup of fascinating RF indicators. For hackers, that is the place radio will get fascinating — listening in on these indicators, exploring their nature, and determining methods to put them to make use of are like crimson meat for many of us.

Hacking and reverse engineering alternatives abound within the RF realm, however can typically be a bit troublesome. What’s wanted is a framework for pulling these indicators out of the ether and placing them into some sort of context. Fortuitously, there are many suggestions and tips on this house; we talked about certainly one of them, FISSURE, not too way back. The acronym — “Frequency Unbiased SDR-Based mostly Sign Perceive and Reverse Engineering” — about sums up what this framework is all about. However to carry it into additional focus, we’re fortunate sufficient to have Chris Poore, a Senior Reverse Engineer at Assured Info Safety, drop by the Hack Chat. We’ll discuss RF reverse engineering generally and FISSURE specifically. Make sure to cease by together with your RF hacking and reverse engineering questions and struggle tales!
