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.

You will leave able to

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)

Who it is for

RF practitioners tired of obsolete tools
Engineers who want to build their own radio security tools

How 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.

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.
