RF & Hardware Security Lab

The problem

Wireless is the part of the attack surface most network engineers never touch. Learning it properly means building the hardware, writing the firmware, and capturing real signals — not reading about them.

How it's built

• Embedded C firmware targeting sub-GHz transceivers for capture, decode, and controlled replay
• Bench rigs built around HackRF + PortaPack, CC1101 modules, and ESP32 boards
• Aviation-focused SDR tooling for ADS-B signal validation and receiver testing
• Drone RF work: SiK radio detection and MAVLink telemetry inspection

Outcome

Hands-on fluency across the RF stack — antenna to protocol to firmware — that directly informs how I assess and defend wireless attack surface on a network engagement.
