GSM research: IMSI capture and analysis.GPS Manipulation: Block, manipulate or adjust GPS signals for location-aware devices.Remote Control Analysis: Analyse, replay and emulate car remotes, alarms, garage remotes, etc.The versatility of the HackRF One render it useful across multiple disciplines and tasks: There are extensive tutorials and toolkits available for working with the HackRF One. It is compatible with all major SDR suites across multiple platforms: GNU Radio, SDR#, SDR_Radio, Universal Radio Hacker, QSpectrumAnalyzer. The HackRF is a half-duplex transceiver operating between 1MHz - 6HGz with up to 20MHz of bandwidth. The HackRF One requires an external computer to control it, or the PortaPack device, which allows untethered use of the HackRF, with massive built-in functionality. Since its initial release, there are dozens of highly specialised SDR tools, but the HackRF One remains the staple tool for hackers, pentesters and RF enthusiasts - due to its simplicity, cost and wealth of tutorial information available.

Software Defined Radio ushered in a new era: where raw processing power could perform tasks previously restricted to hardware, and thus allowing anyone with a computer and a modest budget to dissect RF. Justly the HackRF One was funded by DARPA. When the HackRF One launched in 2014, it completely redefined the pentest/hacker community: an completely affordable, hugely capable, open-source device that allowed anyone to receive, decode, modify, replay and transmit any signal from 1MHz to 6GHz.īefore the existence of the HackRF, RF research and manipulation was restricted to RF wizards with arcane hardware skills, or government/industrial facilities with unlimited budgets.
