Atlantic Security Conference

This is not an InfoSec Talk.

Software defined radio (SDR) is a radio comm system where components that are implemented in hardware are now done in software (Winmodems!). What could this mean for you? SDR's are now consumer affordable and through the use of open source software, correct antennas, and some python you can configure a SDR device to receive transmissions from the ISS, download weather images from NOAA, hack a crane (RFQuack), turn on a light bulb, control an RC car, be a cell phone tower and run your own mobile site, or build an IMSI catcher. Fun stuff!
