HackRF Present and Future

At CSAW THREADS in November I gave a talk about the present and future of the HackRF project (video). I reviewed the new HackRF One design, and then I showed all sorts of different things that people are already doing with HackRF Jawbreaker. It's pretty exciting to see all the applications that people are coming up with!

So, when are these things going to be for sale? I missed the Beta, and the Kickstarter backing.

Garrett said...

So excited to get my hands on one of these. Any anticipated release date for the One.

Bob, Garrett: Please see http://greatscottgadgets.com/hackrf/ for information on HackRF availability.

(1)Would you consider making HackRF a digital front end for upscale old fashioned radios like the AOR AR 3000A: http://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/widerxvr/3246.html
(2) How do I get HackRF working with DECT? See:http://www.backtrack-linux.org/wiki/index.php/DECT_Sniffing_Dedected

Hi Michael,

Theoretically, would it be possible to make private GSM network using HackRF Full Duplex + embedeed linux device (billing, switchboard etc.) ?

Please can you tell me what is the transmission distance of HackRF device connected to USB?

Is there a plan of introducing external power?

Regards,
Ivica from Croatia

Can 1 HackRF be a GSM base station using OpenBTS?

(1) HackRF One has an analog baseband expansion interface. It is possible to connect that interface to older radios.

(2) There is some DECT code on CGRAN:

Someone recently expressed interest in DECT on the hackrf-dev mailing list:

It is probably possible to implement a GSM basestation with a pair of HackRF Ones, but this is unproven.

Transmission distance depends on many factors, one of which is transmit power. There are some transmit power details here:

https://github.com/mossmann/hackrf/wiki/HackRF-One#transmit-power

In general, HackRF One is useful for transmission across a room, not across a city.

There is a pin header on HackRF One that permits external power supply. Additionally, you can power HackRF One with a USB power supply.

Would this board work with sdr touch on a nexus7 tablet?

Michael Ossmann said...

electron: You'd have to ask the developer of the application. HackRF support can be added via libhackrf.

Hello, I test the HackRf-one for 3 weeks. No problem of compatibility with DTS software and RTL-Sharp SDR-Console. Driver installation is easy enough by the latest version of Zadig. To my surprise, it was a correct reception of Am stations or BLU Decametric from 1 Mhz playing on earnings. From my side, I very often use the internal preamp. Reception seems a little worse than a conventional key in RT820 or E4000 but the dynamic is not the same with a delta of 40 to 50 dB on average instead of 50 to 60 dB with my key Terratec: nevertheless by using my preamp jim m 75 and my coupler 4 Ways Sat, I get to have an equivalent sensitivity. I have not yet tested the issuance (note the internal and external preamp if active) or the Hack-Rf transfer function with Linux. Must possess a very good computer to correctly operate a high sample rate as the bandwidth of 20 MHz. Here I reduced the 16 MHz sampling on the desktop computer because the reception signal was distorted AM. On my portable audio, I am obliged to reduce the sampling to 10 Mhz and moderate value of the FFT spectrum for perfect demodulation of signals. If not in all, the product is correct and does its job in broadband you the best quality / price. Unfortunately, I can not give it 5 stars but only 3 because many artifacts and aliasings in the window of the spectrum (frequencies images due to the frequency of sampling) and has the form of a peak on a strong signal (in ax-shaped or inverted sailing boat … with a peak at 75 khz +/- the main peak). I added a shield to the RF input as requested by Ossmann blind and completely map … but it has nothing changes on aliasing strange signals. Through my experience on the use of this card, I advise not reflect signals only in the central tier of the window of the spectrum on the screen and be wary of the signals from the left or right tier. These signals are aliasings those spectra a + or – the value of sampling frequency (this problem exists regardless of the value of 8 to 20 MHz) and they oddly Confuse with the signals of the window spectrum analysis in court . Eg 10 MHz analysis 140 150 mhz was the frequencies of 140 to 150 MHz, which is normal, but also signals (with some attenuation) of 130 to 140 MHz and 150 to 160 MHz: This is very embarrassing and very unfortunate use a spectrum analyzer. To reduce these phenomena maximum aliasing, adjust as best as possible gains and also use a filter to strip outside the entrance antenna (which I have … but the problem persists anyway). The screen does not change because with or without shielding metal is the same! On my side … I even disassembled all my armor with great precaution to check in doubt … and finally put them back with the same result. Note also the 80-120 Mhz band portion which is unusable without an FM rejector of 88-108 Mhz. That is all for the first tests of this card remains very useful in his function of emission and reception very broadband. Cordially Pascal F1MIJ

Hello everyone, I’m Maria Bauer from Brisbane, Australia.
I wish to share this information with the public about Wardrivers Cyber. A few months back, I was seeking an investment opportunity but I ended up being scammed of $137,000 in Bitcoins.
I was depressed and disappointed in myself until an article popped up about Wardrivers cyber, a cryptocurrency recovery company and to my surprise, they were able to recover almost all the funds I had lost. I’m sharing this out of excitement as I know there are many people out there who must have had an encounter with these swindlers.
You can reach them on (Wardriverscyberservice@techie .com)

Looking for a real life hacker that never disappoints? well here is it they helped me monitor my Husband's phone when I was gathering evidence during the divorce. I got virtually every information he has been hiding over the months easily on my own phone: the spy app diverted all his whatsapp, face-book, bank transfers and multimedia text messages, sent and received through his mobile phone/laptop: I also got his phone calls and deleted messages. he could not believe his eyes when he saw the evidence because he had no idea he was hacked. this team do all types of mobile hacks, bitcoin recovery or money lost to online scammers/computer hacks, you get unrestricted and unnoticeable access to your partner/ spouse/ anybody’s social account, email, E.T.C Getting the job done is as simple as sending an email to jamesmckaywizard@gmail.com or what'sapp: +1 507 414 7049 and thank me later their services are cool and easily accessible.

A few months ago, I was swindled off $378,000 worth of BTC, I was coined by someone who pretended to be a Forex trader online and convinced me to invest in cryptocurrency. I couldn’t withdraw my profits or my initial investment and he kept requesting more fees, to cut the story short I lost all my money which was very depressing for me. While I was confiding with my colleagues at work about the whole situation, I was referred to SpyWeb, a trustworthy group of developers and hackers who could help me recover my stolen funds and help me get these scammers. Without any doubt, I contacted SpyWeb and provided all the information, including their wallet addresses. To my surprise, SpyWeb was able to recover my money in 72 hours which was unbelievable, I’m super excited because I didn’t imagine ever getting back my money. I’ll advise others out there to seek more knowledge before investing in cryptocurrency and if you’ve been in my situation, you should reach out to SpyWeb. They can assist you to recover your money.
