At the ToorCon hacker conference in San Diego Saturday, Ossmann and his research partner Jared Boone plan to unveil a beta version of the HackRF Jawbreaker , the latest model of the wireless Swiss-army knife tools known as software-defined radios. It grants any computer programmer the ability to develop new ways to interact with radio waves. HackRF, a software radio peripheral. Software radio or Software Defined Radio (SDR) is the application of Digital Signal Processing (DSP) to radio waveforms. It is analogous to the software-based digital audio techniques that became popular a couple of decades ago. The device has the ability to transmit and receive over a wide range of frequencies, covering a huge number of commercial devices. Once can Intercepting and Reversing engineer received frequencies. Just like a sound card in a computer digitizes audio waveforms, a software radio peripheral digitizes radio waveforms. It's like a very fast sound card with the speaker
