BrowSDR: Turn Your HackRF or RTL-SDR Into a Browser-Based Remote WebSDR
Building a $40 Stingray Detector That Fits in an Altoids Tin
You don’t see IMSI catchers. You don’t hear them. They sit between your phone and the network like a polite lie, impersonating a tower just well enough that your device shrugs and connects anyway. No warning. No vibration. Nothing in the UI suggests that your phone has just been convinced to trust something it never verified.The #RaspberryPi that powered my early experiments decoding ADS-B, AIS, & NOAA satellite data has reached the end of its run. Rather than adding it to the e-waste pile, I gave it a second life as a piece of lab decor, framed in a shadow box
Eigener ADS-B Feeder: Flugzeuge tracken mit Raspberry Pi, RTL-SDR und selbstgebauter Antenne
Ein Raspberry Pi, ein günstiger RTL-SDR-Stick und eine selbstgebaute λ/4-Groundplane-Antenne: Fertig ist der eigene ADS-B-Feeder für Flightradar24. 335 km Reichweite, ein kostenloser Business-Account und ein spannender Bug-Report inklusive.I just learned today that the RTLSDR dongles come with the same USB idVendor, idProduct, and iSerial values programmed into the EEPROM.
Fortunately, the rtl_eeprom tool allows for the serial number to be reprogrammed and therefore the rtl_433 command can be modified to only decode received data based on the serial number of the dongle.
Program a new serial number:
rtl_eeprom -s dbdb0002
Decode from a specific serial number:
rtl_433 -d :dbdb0002 -R 40
Due to life decisions that I am comfortable with , I use my SDRs over the network with my own goofball protocol.
Existing apt installable programs don't support it, so I figured it was high time to do what any normal person would do -- convincingly implement librtlsdr.so off my rust sdr codebase (sparky) and make it work without any other changes. Obviously.
Mentioned to a #HAM friend that now that the weather is turning nice again, I plan to take my #RTLSDR out to somewhere in visual range of BOS and try to pick up some ACARS (I don't have enough sky to pick up any in my apartment)
And because I started talking about radio stuff to a licensed and experienced radio operator, now I am listening to the #ARRL Heavy Hitters Traffic Net on 146.82 MHz.
My friend tells me this is a repeater installed in the Prudential Tower and he is somewhere else in the relay chain.
Here's part of a message readout.
And @thomaseckert gave a great talk on "listening to the radio with rust" - including some great RTL-SDR demos listening to radio live!

Thanks to the organizers @ottawasystems for a great meetup!
