In a previous post, I spoke about a simple static key remote and how to replicate its signal using a small python script and RfCat. As part of the work done there, I set out to write a small tool that should help with some of the tasks involved with this process. Lets take a look at ooktools, how to use it and the internals there of. For those in a rush, the repository can be found here: https://github.com/leonjza/ooktools. ...
At defcon24 this year, I impulsively bought myself some new toys. Amongst what I got included a YARD Stick One and a Ubertooth One. I already owned a DVB-T dongle much like this one that I bought at defcon23 the previous year. My interest in Software Defined Radio has long been one of those where I just felt so overwhelmed with the idea for a very long time that I dare not try it. This, together with the fact that its something I totally know nothing about really did make for this bit of research to be pretty daunting at first. Nonetheless, here is my adventure into reverse engineering a plain static key remote and successfully replaying it from my computer. ...
