Description
Bluetooth Smart (BLE) to Sub-1 GHz module. PandwaRF (formerly GollumRF) is a RF analysis tool with a sub-1 GHz wireless transceiver controlled by a smartphone or a PC
Documentations
General Overview
PandwaRF is a RF hacking tool used to:
Receive
Capture any data in ASK/OOK/MSK/2-FSK/GFSK modulation from the frequency range: 300-348 MHz, 391-464 MHz and 782-928 MHz
Transfer the captured data to your smartphone & save/share it
Send the captured data in JSON to your own server for post-processing
Write your own scripts or use a provided one
Transmit
Transmit previously captured data or write your own
Transmit data from a smartphone or directly from PandwaRF
Brute force with a predefined transmission pattern (encoders or devices)
Transmit power: +10dBm
Analyze
Visualize the frequency used by any device using the PandwaRF built-in Spectrum Analyzer
Directly show the maximum and average RSSI for a specific frequency band
Technical Overview
PandwaRF is composed of 2 elements:
PandwaRF HW dongle
PandwaRF Android application
PandwaRF HW dongle
The PandwaRF dongle contains:
Bluetooth Smart Module ISP130301, based on nRF51
CC1111 Low-Power SoC with Sub-1 GHz RF Transceiver
16 Mbit Flash Memory to save custom RF protocols
Rechargeable battery powered for stand-alone operation
Battery fuel gauge
SMA connector
4 buttons
4 Status LEDs
Debug connectors & GPIOs
Possible applications
Receive keyfobs transmission (car, alarm, gate opener, …)
Replay captured transmission from keyfobs
Replay a modified captured transmission
Transmit your own custom payload
Capture RF data and transmit it on another frequency
Brute force wireless devices (alarms, gate openers etc)
Spectrum Analyzer
Find the frequency used by a RF device
Reverse engineer unknown protocols
Measure the data rate of a transmission
Check the RF jam-resistance of your own devices
Send captured data to a server for post-processing
Write custom Javascript scenarios
Develop your own Android application
Warning
PandwaRF is a test equipment for RF systems. It has not been tested for compliance with the regulations governing the transmission of radio signals. You are responsible for using your PandwaRF legally. The intentional jamming of RF signals is ILLEGAL. PandwaRF should only be used for testing the robustness of your own devices.
