Intermediate Software Defined Radio - Digital Communication

This course teaches you the fundamentals of building digital radios with SDR and gnuradio. A solid understanding of this material better enables InfoSec professionals to put SDRs to work detecting, intercepting and analyzing wireless vulnerabilities. This foundation is also useful for building digital transmitters to exploit RF vulnerabilities or to exfiltrate data. As with my introductory course, I will continue to teach you gnuradio, and we will employ it for hands-on projects that illustrate each radio concept. This is not a lecture-based course, but one built on 25+ different projects. By the end of the course, you'll be able to build basic digital transmitters and receivers using OOK, FSK and PSK. You'll also understand the building blocks of digital signals: clock synchronizers, preambles, error-checking and payload encodings. The capstone for the course will put your newfound knowledge to work reverse engineering a digital control system.
