Hi, I have been having a look at utilising RF and trying to understand how every device around me emits RF.

I recently came across RTL-SDR and HackRF, alongside software like SDR++, TempestSDR, gqrx etc. I know that I can spy on my monitor and record keyboard keys being pressed using RF, but what are some other ways I should be looking at to exploit my digital vulnerabilities, and trying to solve such problems?

Thanks!

Edit: I’m well aware that nothing I’m doing is that interesting to security agencies across the globe. With that said, I’m interested in maintaining my privacy, and this happens to be an avenue I find interesting. Any suggestions on how I can look to do so would be greatly appreciated!

    Do I need to understand RF to understand RF?

    It’s not nearly as simple as you apparently think, but I wish you all the best in your confident ignorance.

      Hi, thanks for mentioning the ham radio licensing material. Could you give me a few examples of what I’d learn there which might be related to what I’m trying to achieve? I would be very interested to know, since I’d like to have a purpose whilst going through the material.
