Hacking satellites with Software Defined Radio (SDR)
summary
Live demo shows a cheap RTL-SDR dongle plus a coat-hanger dipole and Raspberry Pi recording and replaying real signals, decoding ADS‑B with dump1090, AIS ship tracks, NOAA APT weather images (grainy but readable) and Meteor LRPT with meteor_demod; a car-gate remote is reproducible and brute‑forceable because its 12 DIP switches give only 4096 combinations. Tools used: SDR#, CubicSDR, Gpredict, WXtoIMG alternatives. Several hacks require bandpass filters and carry legal risk if transmitted.
