    This is really cool. And it has such a great readme with screenshots and everything.

    One thing I can't figure out from a cursory reading is what type of RF hardware would be needed to use this?

    I was just thinking about finding some software like this is because I have lost one of the keyless entry key fobs for our car and I was thinking if I could record and replay the signal from the car, I might be able to narrow down the fob location.

    I suspect it is in the house somewhere. But we have a 1 year old who loves to pick things up and insert them into any slot or box he can find.

    I see they've included my high resolution spectrum painter (which I also call "Stupid OFDM Tricks" in homage to Letterman).

    How new is this project? It was really surprising to see something published in 2022 that still attempts to offer Python2 support, and all the baggage that will carry.

    ELI5? what can a user do potentially with this framework? detect drones?

    edit: wow i just saw the lecture video and this seems like a tool that lets you detect/analyze radio frequencies emitted from almost any device (?) and lets you emulate the packets (?) or wave patterns to manipulate the data it sends out?

    this seems like a really powerful tool. I wonder if you can open car doors with this. Also wouldn't this mean that this tool could become illegal as a result?

    Is there any list of supported hardware?

    I can't believe it actually worked. Took like 5 hours to build all of those components haha
