Electronic Warfare on a Budget of $15 or Less

Presented at A New HOPE (2022), July 24, 2022, noon (50 minutes)

You are constantly being irradiated by a plethora of gadgets and gizmos firing photons through your body every second, so why not figure out how to read those airwaves?

Learn to, on a $15 budget: plot the flight paths of dictators; stingray your own phone; track the movements of fishing fleets; listen to the local taxi dispatch; find signal from outer space and other radio astronomy; read airline pilots' text messages; get pinged when pager messages are sent; hack Wi-Fi (but with an SDR); communicate via shooting star (really); and much, much more!

Presenters:
