The HackRF could be considered as the wireless Swiss army knife known as "software-defined radios." Like any software-defined radio, the HackRF can shift between different frequencies from 100 megahertz to 6 gigahertz as easily as a computer switches between applications.
Just from observing a signal over the air, you can completely figure out the information transmitted over the network.
All of that can be done with one HackRF device and a laptop, no wireless signal would remain secure just by virtue of using a unique, unfamiliar frequency. Tools like HackRF mean wireless communications will need to evolve beyond the "security through obscurity" model of protecting communications that has long been considered outmoded in the wired computing world.
This HackRF comes with TCXO module, the built-in clock of the HackRF is not accurate enough to lock on gps/gsm frequencies. This upgrade can lock into these frequencies better.
Virtual Environment

A preconfigured virtual machine is provided to download with all the tools installed to get the best out of the HackRF/PortaPack.
