<h2><strong>Introduction</strong></h2>
<p>When the HackRF One launched in 2014, it completely redefined the pentest/hacker community: an completely affordable, hugely capable, open-source device that allowed anyone to receive, decode, modify, replay and transmit any signal from 1MHz to 6GHz.<br></p>
<p>The HackRF One's hardware is often refreshed. Lab401 stocks the latest version: <a href="https://hackrf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/list_of_hardware_revisions.html" target="_blank">Revision 10</a>.</p>
<p>Before the existence of the HackRF, RF research and manipulation was restricted to RF wizards with arcane hardware skills, or government/industrial facilities with unlimited budgets. Justly; the HackRF One was funded by DARPA.</p>
<p>Software Defined Radio ushered in a new era: where raw processing power could perform tasks previously restricted to hardware, and thus allowing anyone with a computer and a modest budget to dissect RF.</p>
<p>Since its initial release, there are dozens of highly specialised SDR tools, but the HackRF One remains the staple tool for hackers, pentesters and RF enthusiasts - due to its simplicity, cost and wealth of tutorial information available.</p>
<p>The HackRF One requires an external computer to control it, or the <a href="https://lab401.com/products/portapack-for-hackrf-one" target="_blank">PortaPack device</a>, which allows untethered use of the HackRF, with massive built-in functionality.</p>
<h2><strong>Overview</strong></h2>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<p>The HackRF is a half-duplex transceiver operating between 1MHz - 6HGz with up to 20MHz of bandwidth. <br></p>
<p>It is compatible with all major SDR suites across multiple platforms: GNU Radio, SDR#, SDR_Radio, Universal Radio Hacker, QSpectrumAnalyzer.<br></p>
<p>There are extensive tutorials and toolkits available for working with the HackRF One.<br></p>
<p>The versatility of the HackRF One render it useful across multiple disciplines and tasks:<br></p>
<ul>
<li>
<strong>Remote Control Analysis</strong>: Analyse, replay and emulate car remotes, alarms, garage remotes, etc.</li>
<li>
<strong>GPS Manipulation</strong>: Block, manipulate or adjust GPS signals for location-aware devices</li>
<li>
<strong>GSM research</strong>: IMSI capture and analysis.<br>
</li>
<li>
<strong>Bluetooth sniffing:</strong> Sniff, capture and analyse Bluetooth and BLE traffic.</li>
<li>
<strong>Advanced RFID Analysis</strong>: Analyse and communicate with all RFID tags, regardless of their frequency.</li>
<li>
<strong>Standard SDR functionality:</strong> ADB-S Tracking, satellite-communication, packet-sniffing, signal analysis, etc</li>
</ul>

<h2><strong>HackRF vs BladeRF</strong></h2>
<p>Lab401 stocks two SDR systems: the HackRF and the BladeRF. If you're looking for a professional, all round system, we recommend the HackRF. If you research GSM / need to make BTS / BaseStations, we recommend the BladeRF.<br></p>
