Basics of Radio Hacking with RTL-SDR

Presented at Kernelcon 2019, April 5, 2019, 2 p.m. (50 minutes).

Radio security is often times neglected because they are only subject to domestic/local threats (physical access). This has left many radio protocols vulnerable to a variety of easy attacksTalk will focus on using inexpensive($20-30) RTL-SDR to intercept & decode various wireless signals, including train telemetry, alarm sensors, smart meters, garage doors, and infrastructure communications. Decode and cloning techniques/hardware will also be covered.

Presenters:

• Gus Gorman
  Bioinformatician by day, hobbyist hacker by night with interest in hardware and wireless security.
