SDR Hacking with GNU Radio
Tired of obsolete RF tools, or of tools that do not fit your needs? Use GNU Radio to implement the features you need and build your own radio security tools, from simulation to real receivers and transmitters.
- Understand GNU Radio and software-defined radio processing along the chain
- Design flowgraphs in GNU Radio Companion: blocks, parameters, generators, sources and sinks, operators, simulations
- Run a flowgraph on a real SDR device
- Work with analogue modulations (AM, FM) and digital ones (ASK/OOK, FSK, PSK)
- Transmit a simple signal, then process samples and optimise their processing
- Create your own blocks and out-of-tree modules
- Investigate with handy tools, and know the alternatives to GNU Radio (Redhawk SDR, URH)
- RF practitioners tired of obsolete tools
- Engineers who want to build their own radio security tools
- Learners who finished our Introduction to RF Hacking with SDR

PublicationsHow it runs and what to know
How it works
A self-paced online course: video lessons, exercises and resources (a virtual machine, captures or scripts, depending on the course), followed at your own pace on this site.
What this course is, and is not
It is not a training action within the meaning of the French Labour Code: no trainer, no assessment, no end-of-training certificate, and not eligible for OPCO or CPF funding. For a trainer-led session, see our live trainings.
Access
Access starts as soon as your purchase is confirmed, for the period shown on the course. It is for one person only: an account used by several people is suspended immediately, without refund.
Accessibility
If you have a disability or a specific need, contact us before you buy and we will help where we can.
Course content
The playground of software-defined radio: simulate, then build working receivers and transmitters and decode various signals with GNU Radio. Five sections, from the first flowgraph to your own out-of-tree modules, with exercises and corrections.
