    Well covered there preacher! New toys hmm, oh’boy more disclaimers to
    arrive soon. Love this show, hope to get some followers that can utilize
    this in a manner respective and not be arse to our friendly skies. But my
    wife works with a co company in aircraft that I never thought of actually
    sharing the exposure they have, well done. Needs Google earth overlay and
    regrfx the planes to there descrips and it would look epic.
    Keep up the good work.

    Can I build a Hak5 RC Car w/GPS that you can plug your adapter in, so you
    can have it go to specific areas, come back with data logged OR use SIM &
    upload data? Maybe better if it was a drone…

    This is cool I already found a few planes. The antenna included in the kit
    is actually about the right length for 1090MHz (4.75 inches is half
    wavelength @ 1182MHz). but with the right studs to screw into the base,
    some solder, and metal coat hangers you can make quick antennas for any
    occasion, made a 155MHz one for police scanning.

    I”m sure someone there at Hak5 has a copy of Kali Linux 1.0.6 installed on
    one of their laptops. If so there is a program under Applications/Kali
    Linux/Wireless Attacks/Software Defined Radio called “rtl_adsb”. I click on
    it and it opens in Terminal, no clue where to go from there. Is there a GUI
    frontend pre-installed on Kali that I can use with this program or will I
    need to download one?
    Also, not to digress but for anyone wanting to get started in SDR the EASY
    way just install Kali Linux and you’ll get a lot of SDR tools right out of
    the box.
    Lovin’ the SDR shows, keep bringin’ us this SDR Goodness. Talk to ya’ll
    later.

    also deliver to the UK?

    Looks like Darren is confused about packets vs frames. In the network
    layer, you talk about packets, but on the physical layer you talk about
    frames, because the packets have been encapsulated into them for transport
    over a physical medium.

    Thank You to point this out Shannon. I did not have an idea that R820T is
    so powerful piece of hardware. Two on its way home.

    Is this information something you want to share with the general public
    (and terrorists)? Looks like fun, but…..a little TMI where our security
    is concerned.

    Unauthenticated and unencrypted… That’s just stupid. It would be
    sooooooooo simple to fix that! One simple solution would be to give each
    plane a secret key and have an open database of the corresponding public
    keys. I’m sure there are better ways, but this would be stupid simple.

    Why do they only transmit once per second, why not like 50-100 times per
    second?, it will allow for more accurate data.

    Yay, just ordered my SDR dongle. I’m gonna build a discone antenna and
    hopefully try to pick up a broadcast from the International Space Station,
    which conveniently passes over my house every now and then!
