HackRF 103 : Looking Glass and Audio Apps - Full Tutorial

[@MyTube4Utoo]

I'm loving these videos. Getting ready to order a HackRF.

[@motokoiwakura]

Thank you for taking the time to educate all of us in a fun and clearly concise manner. You a rockstar.

[@Hebdomad7]

Hey Talking Sasquach. Get an Armature Radio Licence! You'll learn a lot more about radio training to get a licence than anywhere else (other than going to university). The training is free and it'll open a whole new world of hacking about with tech you never knew existed. Including making your own perfectly tuned antenna that you can hook up to your Hack RF.....

[@TalkingSasquach]

That's on my to-do list!

[@macthesmac]

Lmao when we started sculpting? Armature 😂

[@samuelmcelrea5943]

​@@TalkingSasquach can you please please please cover the 50-6000mhz 20db amplifier that comes with the kit from Open Source SDR? I want to use it but I don't want to blow my hackrf!!

[@iyeetsecurity922]

We don't need no stinkin' licenses!

[@bashkillszombies]

@@TalkingSasquach Bro wtf are these presets? I don't have any of these!

[@TheRealPhillipJacobs]

Where's 104 (Next Tutorial)?

[@johnnyskoale4314]

New to the HackRf and your videos are fantastic for getting started! Clear, concise and informative. Keep up the awesome work, thanks!

[@pureh2oh92]

I noticed that when you were demonstrating the radiosondes bit and said that for some reason you cant listen to audio in spectrum mode but then how would you listen to what you were zoned in onto @ 9:47

[@rayerdinc2441]

Brilliant video, thank you. Liked an subscribed. Like how you are learning too, gives me the confidence to try! Keep them coming, please.

[@bashkillszombies]

Using Looking Glass and have no presets? It just means you don't have the COPY TO SD CARD files copied to your SD card, go grab them, or put the right SD card in! Also this guys HackRF 101 video covers this step by step if you need help.

[@Vash612584]

is there going to be any more to this series?

[@benr6878]

Love it, keep it up man! Looking forward to the next episode in this series!

[@iGeoSec]

This is def going to be my next purchase. Your custom case is badass too btw squach!!

[@DiamondRoPlayz]

sometimes the audio could be fuzzy, turning it off and on fixes it and make sure the antenna didn't get loose too, keeps happening with the powerful antenna

[@357molotov]

Great content, really looking forward to another HackRF video.

[@ibrunop]

Hey Talking Sasquach, greetings from Buenos Aires! 🇦🇷 Great content, keep it up!

Great Beetlejuice shirt!!!

[@TalkingSasquach]

Thanks!

[@joshhardin666]

i'm NOT AT ALL saying that the hackrf is redundant (because it can be used for a TON of stuff as you've previously demonstrated in your videos), but how does the functionality you've demonstrated here with looking glass and audio differ from using something like a cheap rtl-sdr with free software like sdr# or another foss app? are there any reasonable strengths to the hackrf implementation?

[@TalkingSasquach]

Size is a big factor.

[@joshhardin666]

@@TalkingSasquachI don't mean to be pedantic or anything, but an rtl-sdr dongle is about the size of a usb flash drive, I can screw a rubber duck antenna (or telescoping antenna if i want something variable), and it can easily plug into the bottom of the phone i'm realistically carrying in my pocket anyway. And if i wanted to make it barely bigger than the phone itself, i could stick it all together with a nice 3d printed enclosure with a couple hours in fusion and a little tpu for about $3. - again, not knocking the hack rf any, it looks like a fantastic device, I'm just trying to compare the feature set to see if there was something i was missing when it comes to the sdr reception capabilities.

[@zandanshah]

you only looking at the Rx part of this unit, real power is when you go into Tx mode.

[@christiankaiser7747]

You can do things like Ble Spam with the Hack RF Portapack

[@BillAnt]

​@@joshhardin666 - You're also getting an active community like the Flipper, constantly improving the HackRF's functions. It's your choice, go with what you like and can afford.

O:30 I think you mean 'Looking Glass'?

I appreciate you!

@@TalkingSasquach great to see someone else sharing the news for the HRF1. Great things to come my friend.

[@tyskizee]

Have you added a speaker yet?

[@Jerzymaciuk-v7l]

I have a problem, my software version is 1.4 and I don't know how to update it, the hackrf app website doesn't see my hackrf, the standard update doesn't work either... I'm already losing hope :((

[@Greg00020]

question could someone use this device to repeated crash your wifi connection, i have apps to show the wave form to show wifi strength levels over time so i can tell its like at -15dm and then it will crash for a few seconds and disappear and devices drop before it goes back on, also sometimes the strength goes all over the place

[@Lando6969]

How do you read the lines from the waterfall? How is it data? What is it saying ? So many questions 😮

[@вечная_мерзлота]

it's easy to tell if u know how voice looks vs data. data is more uniform stable packs. voice is allover . but it can also be voice over digital and u still see digital data.

[@Lando6969]

@@вечная_мерзлота ty for that explanation

[@samegalle1089]

@@Lando6969 Each waterfall line represents "noise" on that frequency. A strong signal is Red. When the lines become a wide bar you will see that the bar will change shape in patterns, that means voices. It takes a bit, but you learn quick.

[@Castine028]

Another great video! Love you to do one about the Recon (App) feature? Lots of settings and very confusing so I know it's a big ask. Thanks

[@Atticus118]

Im still trying to decide if i want one watching your videos. The thing is im super nosey and just love listing to anything i can find. This is why this one caught my attention.

[@DiamondRoPlayz]

I didn't know BW is hidden and I got the hang of it when setting it to 40K than 200K to remove all the static and some stations only work on 40K lol and adjusting the gains too

[@wojownikmaryi1910]

nice, I have hackrf for few months and still learned something new. Good job!!

[@TalkingSasquach]

That's awesome! Glad I could help!

[@deandaniels203]

Is it right to say that it is easy to fry the amp on the hack RF.

[@TalkingSasquach]

I haven't fried one myself, but I've been told by the people I consider experts that it's pretty easy to do. Shuffle your feet on the carpet and touch the antenna and it can go zap

[@smevy_main]

Woohoo, awesome video!

[@TalkingSasquach]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@thumbtak123]

If you do not know, when setting the LNA and VGA, you want to make sure your saturation is around 75 to 85. Now, it will jump all over the place, but you want that to be the number that mostly shows up. This will lower the amount of interference you are receiving.

[@chadchurch2368]

thanks for the video very helpful.

[@thumbtak123]

If you do not know, docker is just a container for an app. Kind of like WINE.

[@scooterdoo1]

Great video! A cool little project that I am trying to figure out is how to hack a Sonic Care toothbrush to reset the nfc timer. The guide by Cyrill Künzi uses a HackRF to sniff for the password and then writes the NFC to the toothbrush. I only have a flipper and I was able to capture the password but now I’m stuck on the write function. Looks like I’ll have to look into getting a HackRF now haha

[@johnmurdock9863]

Thanks brother! Are you going to do one on car hacking? My coworkers keep locking there keys in. I also lock pick for them too. IBEW 428!

[@zandanshah]

Max Hold is related to peak power, it remembers the last known peak power and keeps adding on. Nothing to do with Frequency lock.

[@mysafename1694]

On the list of gadgets that I need to get. I just wanna make sure whatever one I order will be able to be upgraded.

[@RandoWisLuL]

So will this replace a cheap spectrum analyzer like the Tiny SA? (non ultra)

[@samegalle1089]

yep

Is 104 going to happen?

Yes, but a lot of stuff going forward needs a license, which i need to get

[@iyeetsecurity922]

@@TalkingSasquach Eggcellent! Mr Squatch, I've been asking around but haven't gotten more than "I dunno" and "I dunno, maybe", so perhaps you can help out. *Can the HackRF Portapack listen to emergency services such as fire and police on digital channels?* I know some folks have with SDRs on their PC, but I'm hoping this'll do it because a P25 handheld is about $600+.

[@TalkingSasquach]

@@iyeetsecurity922 So I am NOT an expert on this, but I have been messing around with SDR Trunking with the HackRF, where you connect the HackRF to your PC and run software that can hear the digital signals. Assuming it's not encrypted, you can listen in.

Great video but for me it would better without the background music...

[@CALEVRA]

Thanks i need help with mine

[@TalkingSasquach]

Haha yah me too!

[@Musiquence]

Your 3 videos on on the HackRF One are a pretty decent introduction, but I really had hoped for more in depth an practical use videos. Will there be coming more? Do you actually still use the HackRF One? I'm actually kinda disappointed in the HackRF One. Everybody talks about how cool it is, but nobody explains how to actually use it, in a practical sense.

[@TalkingSasquach]

So the problem is that I'm not licensed to broadcast, and thats the next level of HackRF videos!

I was thinking the same thing. So I punted and I picked up one of the Clones on ebay. I figured at least I have something on the low end to play with. Then i got the real one with the plastic enclosure.
