HackRF One
HackRF One is a wide band software defined radio (SDR) half-duplex transciever created and manufactured by Great Scott Gadgets. Its creator, Micheal Ossman, launched a successful KickStarter campaign in 2014 with a first run of the project called HackRF (Project Jawbone). [1] The hardware and software's open source nature has attracted hackers, amateur radio enthusiasts, and information security practitioners.
Overview
The HackRF One is capable of receiving and transmitting on a frequency range of 1Mhz to 6Ghz with output power of 30mW to 1mW depending on the band. [2] The unit comes with three SMA antenna ports and a 2.0 USB port. The HackRF One integrates with GNU Radio and SDR# projects to provide its graphical user interface.[3] The popularity of HackRF One as a security research platform has made it featured in many InfoSec conference talks such as BlackHat, DEF CON and BSides. [4][5][6]
Academic Research
Kimmo Heinäaro presented a paper at the 2015 International Conference on Military Communications and Information Systems (ICMCIS) outlining how military tactical communications could be hacked with HackRF One and other open source tools. [7]
In 2017, researchers were able to use HackRF One in a GPS Spoofing attack to feed a vehicle false signals and mapping data to deliver the occupants to a desired location. [8]
Negative Press
The HackRF One has been vilified in several media reports because it can be used to intercept the key fob signals to open car doors. [9][10]
