Subject: TriLUG Software Defined Radio (SDR) Meeting and Hackfest tonight!
To: TriLUG Mailing List <trilug at trilug.org>


The topic of Software Defined Radio (SDR) was proposed and that is
tonight's TriLUG Topic!

Yes this is an extremely interesting topic especially since recent
technological advancements have made things possible that were previously
theoretical only.

Scott Hall and Phil Rhodes will start the meeting with an overview and
demo. Then we will turn the meeting into a hands on hackfest. So bring your
SDR dongles, whip antennas, laptops etc.. You might want to have GNU Radio
installed.

Also please invite any of your friends who may have any knowledge to
contribute, such as ham radio enthusiasts, security researchers, wireless
technology professionals, and people who might want a chance to receive a
highly coveted 3d printed TriTux. There may even be an SDR door prize.

Some things you can do with SDR

Regain communications and control of old decommissioned NASA satellites in
space such as the ISEE-3. Google “ISEE-3 SDR” for details.

Create and/or spoof a cellular base station. If you are a security
researcher, or if you are a business with assets that could be affected, or
if you want to understand how to protect your privacy, this capability is
of particular interest for a number of reasons obviously. If you can setup
a cellular base station with free software surely you will think of many
fun things to do with it.

Aviation- You can track lots of flight information transmitted by aircraft
flying in your area.

Miscellaneous other things: key fobs, restaurant pagers, keyless entry,
toll booth RFIDs

DARPA proves this topic is interesting by continuously sponsoring numerous
SDR hackfest events around the world. Google “DARPA SDR hackfest” for more
details.

There will be free beer served at the same location from 4:30 to 6:30.

We will serve free pizza and drinks!

Thanks to our sponsors Oak City Tech, Caktus Group, and Brian Henning’s
3DHubs page.
