HackRF One
HackRF Oneis a wide bandsoftware defined radio(SDR)half-duplextransceivercreated and manufactured by Great Scott Gadgets. It is able to send and receive signals. Its principal designer, Michael Ossmann, launched a successfulKickstartercampaign in 2014 with a first run of the project called HackRF.[1]The hardware and software's open source nature has attracted hackers, amateur radio enthusiasts, and information security practitioners.
Overview
[edit]HackRF One is capable of receiving and transmitting on a frequency range of 1 MHz to 6 GHz with maximum output power of up to 15 dBm depending on the band.[2]The unit comes with an SMA antenna port, clock input and clock output SMA ports, and a USB 2.0 port. HackRF One integrates with popular software defined radio software such asGNU Radioand SDR#.[3]The popularity of HackRF One as a security research platform has made it featured in manyinformation securityconference talks such asBlackHat,DEF CONandBSides.[4][5][6]
Academic research
[edit]Kimmo Heinäaro presented a paper at the 2015 International Conference on Military Communications and Information Systems (ICMCIS) outlining how militarytactical communicationscould be hacked with HackRF One and other open source tools.[7]
In 2017, researchers described aGPSspoofing attack to feed a vehicle false signals and mapping data to deliver the target to a desired location.[8]
Media attention
[edit]HackRF One has received criticism in several media reports because it can be used to intercept and replay the key fob signals to open car and garage doors.[9][10]
