[David Prutchi] has an FTA (free-to-air) satellite dish. This means he can tune and watch freely available satellite television feeds. But this sounds much better than it actually is. There isn’t much that’s broadcasted unecrypted from satellites with the exception of a collection of religious channels. But he still uses the dish by using the FTA [...]

radio Event:
Chaos Communication Camp 2011 Abstract: Software Defined Radio defines a new approach to analyze signals with software. With the flexibility of software SDR literally opened a new spectrum of hacking. However the internals of Digital Signal Processing, especially from the perspective of informatics and computer science, are hard to explore. The lecture delivers a case-study on how to analyze 802.15.4 (alias Zigbee, as an easy protocol) with USRPs (modular popular hardware for SDR) on a real-time protocol (for send time verification, sniffing etc.). Furthermore internals on DSP will be explained - as simple as possible. The intent is to also give a non-academic start point and to seed motivation to explore more advanced projects (like osmocom*). So practically the lecture explains what a Software Spectrum Analyzer or a Software Oscilloscope does: from a Hacker's perspective. It gives insight into a USRP(2) internals and goes into programming C++ and Python with GNU Radio. All demo-analysis will remain within the ISM band. - No GSM/Tetra will be captured. It's about the SDR technology and its use-cases - for a clear and constructive adaption by the Hacker's community to assist interesting making projects (of home-automation devices using 802.15.4 e.g.). In many media articles - especially from last Chaos Congress - a misunderstanding can arise to reduce SDR to (GSM) attack scenarios while this is not the only/general use-case. The lecture however clearly aims to assist any intended understanding how the osmocom* implementations work - for example.

Impressed by the recent advances in the software defined radio scene, [Jason] picked up a $20 USB TV tuner dongle to check out his local airwaves. Unfortunately, the antenna included with the little USB dongle is terrible at receiving any signal other than broadcast TV. [Jason] wanted to improve his reception, so he got some [...]

A few months ago [Antti Palosaari] discovered cheap USB TV tuners could be used as a software-defined radio. Since then, we’ve seen these TV tuners receive signals from GPS satellites and even the signals between air traffic control and passenger aircraft. Like everything cool, Mac support for these drivers is slightly terrible so [hpux735] wrote his own [...]

Chaos Communication Congress 27th (27C3) 2010 Abstract: Out of the news section of the C3D2 radio programme we've compiled an entertaining game show, an Internet-based multiplayer "Who becomes millionaire?" challenge. The audience and folks on the peace missions are asked to help the players. From the collected news items of our monthly radio show we've generated a game show somewhat inspired by "Who becomes millionaire?" but multi player. The questions cover all types of net-news we've found interesting to mention in our radio show.

wireless WiFi Event:
Chaos Communication Congress 28th (28C3) 2011 Abstract: New to 2011, Packet-in-Packet exploits allow for injection of raw radio frames into remote wireless networks. In these exploits, an attacker crafts a string that when transmitted over the air creates the symbols of a complete and valid radio packet. When radio interference damages the beginning of the outer packet, the receiver is tricked into seeing only the inner packet, allowing a frame to be remotely injected. The attacker requires no radio, and injection occurs without a software or hardware bug. This lecture presents the first implementation of Packet-in-Packet injection for 802.11B, allowing malicious PHY-Layer frames to be remotely injected. The attack is standards-compliant and compatible with all vendors and drivers. Unlike the simpler implementations for 802.15.4 and 2FSK, 802.11B presents a number of unique challenges to the PIP implementer. A single packet can use up to three symbol sets and three data-rates, switching rates once within the header and a second time for the beginning of the body. Additionally, a 7-bit scrambler randomizes the encoding of each packet, so the same string of text can be represented 128 different ways at the exact same rate and encoding. This lecture presents the first implementation of Packet-in-Packet injection for 802.11B, allowing malicious PHY-Layer frames to be remotely injected. The attack is standards-compliant and compatible with all vendors and drivers. As a demo, we intend to present a malicious string which can be embedded in any file with lots of slack space, such as an ISO image. When this image is downloaded over HTTP on 802.11B, beacon frames will be injected. For the demo, we will be injecting the SSID stack buffer overflow frames from Uninformed Volume 6.

He considered a 3rd party auxiliary input solution, but after seeing a similar aux-in hack here, he figured [...]

As an amateur radio enthusiast, [Andrew] sometimes has to set up impromptu antennas up to 160 meters in length. The easiest way to get these antennas off the ground is to drape them over trees, a feat normally accomplished by lofting fishing line into the air with a slingshot or bow and arrow. [Andrew] thought [...]

[Scott Harden] has been working through a design for a variable inductor to use as a PTO, or permeability tuned oscillator. What you see above is the most recent fruit of these efforts. The variable inductor is made up of the green coil of wire with a threaded bolt in the core. Turning that bolt [...]

[Bill Meara] was watching the International Space Station and the Shuttle Discovery pass overhead a few weeks ago, which rekindled an interest he gave up long ago – sending and receiving radio packets from space. Years ago, he used to send APRS packets into space with a small rig powered by a 286 computer and [...]

[Travis Goodspeed] recently tore down the Freescale MC13224 wireless radio chip in an effort to demonstrate how the device’s firmware could be read, even when locked down in “secure” mode. While you might not recognize the Freescale MC13224 radio by name alone, you are certainly familiar with some of its practical applications. Found in the [...]

[Jordan] writes in to show us his hacked up car stereo. [Jordan]‘s 2004 Subaru, like many of our cars, does not offer any kind of auxiliary input, and aux-in/mp3 adapters tend to run on the not so cheap side of the price scale. Even a replacement head unit was too rich for his blood. So [...]

Ruxcon 2010 Abstract: Project 25 (P25) is the standard used by police and emergency first-responders across the US, Australia and New Zealand. OP25 is a free software project we've initiated that allows us to receive, analyse and transmit P25 traffic using the USRP/GNUradio software-defined radio suite. This presentation will give an introduction to the basics of software-defined radio using the GNURadio framework, provide a detailed analysis of some of the security flaws present in P25 and show how these can be exploited to conduct targeted denial-of-service attacks and key-recovery attacks.
