Don’t Flip Out: RF Hacking Basics Explained
2023-10-07 , Track 3

This session will answer questions related to hacking using radio frequency (RF) devices. We will review past RF hacking events (both those that have happened and those of urban legend). We will discuss common RF hacking tools such as the Flipper Zero, HackRF, and more. Then we will touch on setting up a space for RF experimentation and the types of programs one might want to support RF work such as GNU Radio.
