Hackover 2023

Workshop hacking radio-signals
15.07, 11:30–14:00 (Europe/Berlin), Raum 2.10

hacking the 433 MHz radio remote control of your devices at home

Receive, analyse and re-transmit the signals of the radio remote-control of a powerplug


In this workshop, you'll learn how to receive and analyse radio-signals of the 433 MHz remote-control using different tools: gqrx, inspectrum and urh (Univeral Radio Hacker); and also multiple ways to retransmit (read: spoof) these signals yourself.

The workshop requires your own laptop, the 'DragonOS' linux distro and -if you have them- a hardware device like the RTL-SDR dongle, hackRF or simular. (But wo do have some we can provide if you do not have one yourself).
Along the way, you'll learn some things about radio, antennas and signal-processing.
The workshop is about 3 to 4 hours in total.

The workshop is limited to 6 people.
I bring the SDR-SDR dongles for this. (I have about 10 of them)

For this workshop, you need a laptop at least two free USB slots.
On the software-side there are three options:
- download the image of DragonOS (see link below) and flash it on a USB book-disk.
- download the image of DragonOS (see link below) and use VMware or Virtual-box to boot it.
- If you already have a laptop with linux, install the following programs: gqrx-sdr and inspectrum (via apt) and urh (via snap)
