WiFi Hacking with HackRF

[@falsedragon33]

Part of my job as a rf engineer is to find and mitigate noise on cellular systems. Take care, people are very agressive with things they dont understand. I have had guns pulled on me countless times for pointing an antenna around.

I can imagine that pointing an antenna at a paranoid methhead could cause unforeseen problems.

[@norbertdapunt1444]

Indeed.

[@maxasaurus3008]

Absolutely correct. If someone pointed that thing at me a few years ago I probably would have tried to eat them. Literally.

[@boltonky]

Interesting video, watching this kinda thing makes me want to do IT security again. I remember 10 or more years ago using parabolic dishes to pick-up wifi singals from 15kms the best was 25km away and considering these days how interconnected it is there are signals all over the place...Then again i have interacted with a few DOD RF engineers over the years that know ways of doing things and picking up signals that you realise no-one is safe. As the age old thing, there is no harm in testing and gaining knowledge its when you use that to do bad things that's when its wrong.

[@VengefulAntihero]

It's a different game these days to my understanding. I'm thinking of diving in myself at 41.

I chucked when you pointed out "The flipper is running as a DHCP and HTTP server". Why that was the moment that I thought "this is absurd" is anyone's best guess but crazy how far we've come from the wardriving of years past.

[@nrgfalt]

And amazing how much is still possible aircrack-ng, Kismet, gps server and wirshark and you can still pixie dust many spots and even a gui thpe like wifite will still give you a list of pros who need security guidance. But the flipper is a learning and close contact tool that is a Swiss army knife of very useful tools and sensors and people ask the guy. He always produces a correct device to ulti.ately complete a project like the HAKrf Pro to pack is excellent and those amps and relays ++

[@BrokenCircuitRanch]

Just another Internet dude giving advice. those reflector antennas have polarization. the feed should match the direction of the grid on the dish. your current config is not getting optimum gain. Just thought I would throw that out there FWIW.

[@peterfairlie2296]

I am curious , can some one explain to me the very beginning of this video of how that guy was able to snipe someones phone traffic like he did with that device .. what is that contraption he had and how would one do that today?could the Hackrf accomplish the same thing?

[@VengefulAntihero]

It's a lot more complicated than they make it appear. The device he was holding was just an antenna. I believe it was a Yagi-Uda, but I may be wrong, as there are lots of designs. In any case, it is a very high-gain, directional antenna. That's why he has to point it in exactly the right direction to pick up her WiFi. Then he uses software on the computer to deauthenticate her phone from her network, then when it tries to reconnect, he performs a man-in-the-middle attack. Her phone connects to his signal, as does her router, and he becomes the middle man and able to read network traffic.

[@hippoloverforever]

Is that spectrum analyzer the same as the ones on ebay with the same range for $160ish ? They look identical and have same RF range.

[@peterfairlie2296]

The one I have is a real Russian built Arinst that I bought before the war. It was over $500 USD in 2020 when I got it. Since the war you can't buy anything from Russia anymore and I think those cheep one on ebay are likely Chinese knockoffs.

[@bashkillszombies]

I have a 20db gain amplifier that came with my HackRF and it's the size of a matchbox. I am clearly too stupid for radio stuff. I don't get what the point of a jammer app is when it barely interferes with anything unless it's right next to it.

[@VengefulAntihero]

Not only that, but it has such narrow bandwidth that you can only jam one channel of the 2.4 band at a time. Meaning any device is going to simply switch channels.

[@fo4mm209]

isn't the grid dish you use contains an downconverter for MMDS applications ? and output an 2400- L.O. = much less signal (I may be wrong) if so how do you inject an RF signal into this receiving antenna ?

[@peterfairlie2296]

There are different models of the grid antennas. The one I'm using has a passive feed of 2.4 GHz WiFi. There are others that operate at 1.4 GHz & 1.7 GHz for weather satellite reception. There is also the type you are talking about that is used for MMDS services which actively receives on 2.5 GHz and down converts to an L band output.

[@Index-o1234]

Great video although someone keeps erasing my comments which is annoying. Do you think the same gains can be made with an old dish antenna? In a directional sense?

[@peterfairlie2296]

Yes, absolutely, just use the parabola formula to calculate the focal point.

[@Index-o1234]

Thank you! I have another question above.

[@CoastRockFM]

Could you rotate the feed point so it doesn't hurt my eyes 😢

[@DAVIDGREGORYKERR]

What about taking the python file and using py2c to generate a cpp file and build it using esp32 gcc into the bin file.

[@Index-o1234]

Good morning Peter I am a student working on expanding my electronics knowledge I wanted to ask if you could direct me towards finding a good amp with a cooling apparatus? With regards to your spectrum analizer is the antenna connected to a dedicated through line / antenna line or can I connect it to either portal? I'm currently using a nano as a starting point.

[@AnthonyChopra]

sounds like a thing i heard about a Microwave Link Dish for communicating with another block of flats

[@lazynerdtv]

How much did that hackrf device cost, and can I get exact details on it?

[@idahobob]

The dish having "Vertical bars", I would think that it's desgined for Vertical polarizartion... yet the feed horn looks to be horizonally polarized. Am I mistaken? If not, try flipping the feed horn and see what happens!

[@peterfairlie2296]

If you watch the whole video you'll see I do try both vertical and horizontal polarizations.

[@davidkerl1431]

Who ever built the grid antenna did it wrong. The ribs in the reflector must be in the same plane as the feed. The way you have it will cut the gain WAY down, perhaps by as much as 20db.

Try running your dual amps as “bi-amp” configuration -> parallel and not series. Also: at 43:04 - is your neighbor checking on you? 🤔

[@Angryslimee]

For anyone who is planning on doing this: just beware that this will not work for a majority of business wifi, i.e your school, your local library. And soon (within 5 years) this will not work for 99% of wifis. Its because there are now newer wifi protocols that prevents this form of deauth attack. The only other way right now is to create your own jammer, but not only is that difficult without an engineering degree, its also extremely illegal. You would need a noise signal generator, with powered amplifiers for every band + antennas. Also the gsm cell towers have ways to detect jamming so they can catch you if you jam long enough. TLDR: This will not work as well as you'd expect. Deauthing no longer works.

At 24 minutes into this video you're describing an isotropic radiator which is a spherical radiator which has no gain. Your antenna with gain puts out a pattern that looks somewhat like a donut laying on its side a flattened donut that's elongated along the horizon. That's where your gain is coming from.
