[Media] ​​HackRF One + Portapack H2 Mayhem

​​HackRF One + Portapack H2 Mayhem The HackRF is an exceptionally capable software defined radio (SDR) transceiver, but naturally you need to connect it to a computer to actually do anything with it. So the PortaPack was developed to turn it into a stand-alone device with the addition of a touchscreen LCD, a few buttons, and a headphone jack. With all the hardware in place, it’s just a matter of installing a firmware capable enough to do some proper RF hacking on the go. Enter MAYHEM, an evolved fork of the original PortaPack firmware that the developers claim is the most up-to-date and feature packed version available. Without ever plugging into a computer, this firmware allows you to receive, decode, and re-transmit a dizzying number of wireless protocols. From firing off the seating pagers at a local restaurant to creating a fleet of phantom aircraft with spoofed ADS-B transponders, MAYHEM certainly seems like it lives up to the name. Detailed blog post about installing and using MAYHEM on the HackRF/PortaPack, complete with a number of real-world examples that show off just a handful of possible applications for the project. Jamming cell phones, sending fake pager messages, and cloning RF remotes is just scratching the surface of what’s possible.

Digital Radio Spy

Digital Radio Spy: The Ultimate Guide to Staying Tuned In

What is Digital Radio Spying?

Using specialized hardware and software to record and decode signals from digital radio transmissions is known as “digital radio espionage.” Digital radio uses complicated encoding systems that call for more advanced equipment, in contrast to traditional radio, where the signal is frequently analog and reasonably simple to decode with a basic receiver.

This hobby or practice is widely used by:

Amateur radio enthusiasts: who enjoy exploring and listening to different frequencies.

Security researchers: testing wireless systems for vulnerabilities.

Aviation fans: listening to air traffic control (ATC) communications.

News agencies: to monitor emergency services and breaking events.

The Evolution of Radio Technology

Before we dive into the tools of digital radio spying, let’s take a brief look at how radio technology has evolved:

AM/FM Radio: Amplitude modulation (AM) and frequency modulation (FM) were the main ways to transmit audio signals over the airways for many years. These technologies have long been a part of radios found in homes, cars, and portable electronics.

Digital Radio: Digital radio emerged as a result of technological advancements, providing improved sound quality, increased content availability, and data transmission capabilities (such as text, photos, and more).

SDR (Software-Defined Radio): This is the application of digital radio espionage. SDR offers greater flexibility and usefulness by using software to tune into frequencies and decode digital signals rather than relying on conventional hardware receivers.

How Does Digital Radio Spy Work?

SDR technology is the foundation of digital radio espionage. You attach a software platform to hardware intended for capturing radio signals in place of a physical radio receiver. After then, the software can be configured to detect a large spectrum of frequencies, interpret the signal, and display it in a format that is useful.

Here’s a basic breakdown of the setup:

SDR Hardware: You may record radio waves with this gadget, which you can link to your phone, tablet, or computer. RTL-SDR dongles, HackRF, or more sophisticated SDR receivers for experts are common choices.

SDR Software: You’ll need software to decode and interpret the signals. Some of the most popular programs for digital radio spying include:

SDR (SDRSharp): A highly popular software for Windows that supports RTL-SDR and other SDR hardware.

Gqrx: A widely-used SDR application for Linux and macOS.

CubicSDR: Cross-platform SDR software with a simple and intuitive interface.

Antennas: A single SDR device is insufficient. To pick up the precise frequencies you want, you’ll need the right kind of antenna. Different antennas can be needed depending on if you’re interested in UHF, VHF, or other bands.

Decoders: Decoders are required in order to decode digital signals, which can include encrypted data, digital voice, or digital television signals. Tools like DSD+ can aid in decoding digital voice, but other applications may be necessary for more specialized forms.

Popular Uses of Digital Radio Spying

Digital radio spying serves multiple purposes, depending on the type of signal being captured. Here are some of the most common uses:

1. Monitoring Air Traffic Control (ATC)

Digital radio eavesdropping is a tool used by aviation enthusiasts to listen in on pilot-to-air traffic controller interactions. Even while this is quite lawful in many regions of the world, it’s crucial to confirm your local laws.

2. Tracking Maritime Communications

SDR can be used to intercept and decode signals from ships and marine communications, including emergency broadcasts, in a manner similar to ATC monitoring.

3. Decoding Weather Satellites

One exciting application is decoding messages from weather satellites. You can directly obtain photos and meteorological information from satellites orbiting the Earth by intercepting these transmissions.

4. Amateur Radio Listening

A lot of digital radio spies also listen in on amateur radio broadcasters on different frequencies. Listening to global HAM radio enthusiasts is possible with SDR.

5. Emergency Services Monitoring

Emergency services continue to use analog or digital transmissions in some areas. In the event that these messages are not encrypted, digital radio spies could be able to hear them. However, it is prohibited in many jurisdictions to listen to encrypted emergency services.

Ethical Considerations

While there are many interesting potential for digital radio espionage, it’s crucial to keep in mind that there are important ethical and legal considerations. Understanding the laws governing radio interception in your nation is crucial. It may occasionally be unlawful to listen to specific frequencies, such as those utilized by the military, police enforcement, or encrypted services.

Ethical digital radio spying means respecting these boundaries:

Do not intercept encrypted signals unless authorized.

Avoid using the information gathered for illegal purposes.

Respect privacy laws and regulations, especially when dealing with personal or sensitive data.

The Legal Landscape of Digital Radio Spying

The legalities surrounding digital radio spying vary by country. Here are some general guidelines:

In the United States, Radio transmissions are governed by the FCC, and it is illegal to intercept some messages without authorization, particularly those that are encrypted. It is, however, usually acceptable to tune in to open, unencrypted broadcasts such as amateur radio or ATC.

In the United Kingdom, Ofcom oversees radio communications, and it is illegal to listen to any broadcast that you are not authorized to hear, including emergency services, private business communications, and encrypted transmissions.

In Australia, the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) regulates radio communications, and similar rules apply. However, amateur radio and weather satellites are typically open to interception.

Before starting any digital radio spying activities, always research the specific legalities in your country to ensure you’re complying with the law.

Getting Started with Digital Radio Spy

If you’re eager to dive into the world of digital radio spying, here’s a basic list of things you’ll need to get started:

An SDR Receiver: The most accessible and budget-friendly option is an RTL-SDR dongle. For more advanced users, devices like the HackRF or Airspy offer higher performance.

Software: Download SDR# or CubicSDR to get started. These programs allow you to tune into frequencies and decode signals.

Antennas: Depending on your focus, you may need different types of antennas for UHF, VHF, or HF bands.

Decoding Software: If you’re capturing digital signals, you’ll likely need additional software like DSD+ to decode digital voice or satellite data.

Patience and Experimentation: Digital radio spying involves a bit of trial and error. Start by exploring publicly available frequencies, and gradually work your way toward more complex signals.

Future Trends in Digital Radio Spy

The future of digital radio spying looks promising as technology continues to advance. We can expect:

Improved SDR hardware: With higher sensitivity and greater frequency range, future devices will allow for even more in-depth signal analysis.

More decoding tools: As digital radio formats evolve, so will the tools designed to decode them, making it easier for enthusiasts to capture and interpret signals.

Integration with AI: Artificial intelligence could play a role in analyzing and interpreting large volumes of intercepted data, automating some of the more complex aspects of digital radio spying.

Conclusion

Digital radio spying is both an engaging pastime and an effective tool for experts, researchers, and enthusiasts. You may access a world of secret signals using SDR technology, including air traffic control communications and weather satellite signals. But it’s crucial that you approach this activity knowing what the ethical and legal requirements are in your area.

Good News!!!!

Oh boy I can convince anyone of anything. My cyber club made too much money this year and we needed to spend it all by the end of the year (December not the end of this school year) and I managed to convince the President that these are necessary:

And a Ham radio!!!! He's going to choose which one though, because he has a lot more experience than I do.

This summer just became so much more exciting. If anyone has any tips let me know, because I didn't think this would work and now I have to actually do something with this.

After a series of walks and meetups in the morning and afternoon, I spend my nights at the lab. 🌙 This is one of the most favorable conditions that I need in order to measure radio frequency interference. 📡 I was advised to carry out preliminary measurements of my experiments to show this as a proof of concept. At first, my adviser mentioned that there would be a problem with the deployment of the instrument since the measurement flow is an engineering problem and not a physics problem. 🛠️

A colleague of mine from UP Visayas decided to meet this week, and to my surprise, he attended the conference at PICC as well. 🤝 We both were unaware that we were attending. We utilized the time before he went back to Iloilo for us to finalize the experimental plan. 🗓️ What we have agreed upon is to add the signal filter as part of the experiment so we can manipulate some variables. 🎛️

With proper instructions, of course, we were able to draw the experimental setup for the preliminary measurements. 📝🔬 For the first attempt, I utilized a signal generator connecting it to a spectrum analyzer/oscilloscope where I performed the measurements. For the second attempt, I replaced the signal generator with HackRF (refer to the figure below). 🛠️🔍

However, there was a problem, as checked after the measurement. I used the wrong configuration (I used the time domain instead of the frequency domain). ⚠️ So, sadly, I have to recalibrate my initial measurements, or, in short, repeat the process. Additionally, I need to create computational methods or simulations of the target filter antenna. 🖥️ There is so much work that needs to be done. 💼

Well, as scientists, we really learn from mistakes. 🧪📈 It's all part of the journey towards discovery and progress.
