Guides authorized RF/SDR security research: signal identification, protocol analysis, and shielded-lab replay feasibility.
- What it does
- This skill provides a workflow for authorized RF/SDR security research, covering regulatory and scope confirmation, receive-only signal identification of center frequency and modulation, and demodulation analysis with tools such as GNU Radio and URH. It also covers replay feasibility assessment limited to shielded labs with written permission, and produces conclusions on whether unauthorized control is possible plus hardening recommendations. It is positioned as general SDR/RF work, distinct from Wi-Fi attack and defense.
- When to use it
- Use it for authorized study of non-Wi-Fi RF such as wireless remotes and sensors, or for lawful reception and analysis of protocols like ADS-B. It is intended for work where frequency use and transmission are legally regulated and scope must be documented first.
- Requirements
- Requires SDR hardware such as RTL-SDR or HackRF for compliant receive/transmit, and analysis tools including GNU Radio, URH, and Inspectrum. It ships no scripts; it is instructions only, with a reference file on lab rules. Authorized frequency bands, a shielded room, and written permission for any transmission are prerequisites.
