HackRF 103 : Looking Glass and Audio Apps - Full Tutorial

Today we're looking at the Looking Glass and Audio apps! These two apps are two of the MOST important apps on the HackRF! Now we can see signals directly on a graphical waterfall and then open those up in the Audio app to record them! So cool!!

Hey Talking Sasquach. Get an Armature Radio Licence! You'll learn a lot more about radio training to get a licence than anywhere else (other than going to university). The training is free and it'll open a whole new world of hacking about with tech you never knew existed. Including making your own perfectly tuned antenna that you can hook up to your Hack RF.....

[@TalkingSasquach]

That's on my to-do list!

[@macthesmac]

Lmao when we started sculpting? Armature 😂

[@samuelmcelrea5943]

​@@TalkingSasquach can you please please please cover the 50-6000mhz 20db amplifier that comes with the kit from Open Source SDR? I want to use it but I don't want to blow my hackrf!!

[@benr6878]

Love it, keep it up man! Looking forward to the next episode in this series!

[@MyTube4Utoo]

I'm loving these videos. Getting ready to order a HackRF.

[@iGeoSec]

This is def going to be my next purchase. Your custom case is badass too btw squach!!

[@fizzymint]

loving your portapack series

[@Mister.BreadBoard]

Another amazing video ❤ looking forward to the next one.

[@ibrunop]

Hey Talking Sasquach, greetings from Buenos Aires! 🇦🇷 Great content, keep it up!

[@KJ7VUB]

Great coverage! Thank you.

[@TalkingSasquach]

I appreciate you!

[@KJ7VUB]

@@TalkingSasquach great to see someone else sharing the news for the HRF1. Great things to come my friend.

[@lawrencegaceta4839]

Great Beetlejuice shirt!!!

[@TalkingSasquach]

Thanks!

[@swap2505]

Very instructive !

[@jmcrafter2668]

Oh nice, early gang. Nice video btw

[@TalkingSasquach]

Thanks for watching!

[@wojownikmaryi1910]

nice, I have hackrf for few months and still learned something new. Good job!!

[@TalkingSasquach]

That's awesome! Glad I could help!

[@TCFK7]

We Need more😁

[@TalkingSasquach]

I'm working on it!

[@Castine028]

Another great video! Love you to do one about the Recon (App) feature? Lots of settings and very confusing so I know it's a big ask. Thanks

[@laory1808]

Squelch AKA "Noise Gate" - might help some people conceptualize what this is doing.

[@smevy_main]

Woohoo, awesome video!

[@TalkingSasquach]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@FloppyDucks]

Learning with squatch. Boo ya

[@TalkingSasquach]

We'll eventually learn how to use this thing!

[@thumbtak123]

If you do not know, docker is just a container for an app. Kind of like WINE.

[@CaptainBlueShell]

O:30 I think you mean 'Looking Glass'?

[@mrbillypop]

Go go go !!!! More !!!!

[@TalkingSasquach]

I'm working on it!

[@thetransformerguy8581]

I'm here for it! What do we got going on today ?

[@TalkingSasquach]

Just spreading the good word on the HackRF!

[@thetransformerguy8581]

​@@TalkingSasquach
It definitely was good, I learned a lot!

[@scooterdoo1]

Great video! A cool little project that I am trying to figure out is how to hack a Sonic Care toothbrush to reset the nfc timer. The guide by Cyrill Künzi uses a HackRF to sniff for the password and then writes the NFC to the toothbrush. I only have a flipper and I was able to capture the password but now I’m stuck on the write function. Looks like I’ll have to look into getting a HackRF now haha

[@l0new0lf8Y8]

I learned a lot.

[@RandoWisLuL]

So will this replace a cheap spectrum analyzer like the Tiny SA? (non ultra)

[@joshhardin666]

i'm NOT AT ALL saying that the hackrf is redundant (because it can be used for a TON of stuff as you've previously demonstrated in your videos), but how does the functionality you've demonstrated here with looking glass and audio differ from using something like a cheap rtl-sdr with free software like sdr# or another foss app? are there any reasonable strengths to the hackrf implementation?

[@TalkingSasquach]

Size is a big factor.

[@joshhardin666]

@@TalkingSasquachI don't mean to be pedantic or anything, but an rtl-sdr dongle is about the size of a usb flash drive, I can screw a rubber duck antenna (or telescoping antenna if i want something variable), and it can easily plug into the bottom of the phone i'm realistically carrying in my pocket anyway. And if i wanted to make it barely bigger than the phone itself, i could stick it all together with a nice 3d printed enclosure with a couple hours in fusion and a little tpu for about $3. - again, not knocking the hack rf any, it looks like a fantastic device, I'm just trying to compare the feature set to see if there was something i was missing when it comes to the sdr reception capabilities.

[@zandanshah]

you only looking at the Rx part of this unit, real power is when you go into Tx mode.

[@christiankaiser7747]

You can do things like Ble Spam with the Hack RF Portapack

[@BillAnt]

​@@joshhardin666 - You're also getting an active community like the Flipper, constantly improving the HackRF's functions. It's your choice, go with what you like and can afford.

[@tyskizee]

Have you added a speaker yet?

[@user-us4ip1uz8z]

I have a problem, my software version is 1.4 and I don't know how to update it, the hackrf app website doesn't see my hackrf, the standard update doesn't work either... I'm already losing hope :((

[@deandaniels203]

Is it right to say that it is easy to fry the amp on the hack RF.

[@TalkingSasquach]

I haven't fried one myself, but I've been told by the people I consider experts that it's pretty easy to do. Shuffle your feet on the carpet and touch the antenna and it can go zap

[@moisejeanfelix]

we need more

[@zandanshah]

Max Hold is related to peak power, it remembers the last known peak power and keeps adding on. Nothing to do with Frequency lock.

[@nester6460]

Whoop whoop

[@CALEVRA]

Thanks i need help with mine

[@TalkingSasquach]

Haha yah me too!

[@macthesmac]

I need to get a hackrf but sheesh on the price 😅

Isn't "looking glass" the nickname of US Boeing 707 spy aircrafts
