RADIO + SDR
Receivers, transceivers, antennas, spectrum tools, and strange little devices for exploring the RF environment around you.
SDR transceiver covering 100 kHz to 6 GHz, with FPGA logic, improved RF performance, triggering, and receive/transmit capability.
HackRF Pro - Great Scott Gadgets
sub-1Ghz recon. named after a great sort of whacking device. the yard stick.
YARD Stick One Bundle
Cheap doorway into the invisible world. Aircraft, weather satellites, pagers, telemetry, amateur radio, mysterious bursts in the spectrum.
RTL-SDR Blog V4 SDR with Dipole Antenna Kit – 500kHz to 1.7GHz USB Software Defined Radio
emerging from the digital shadows, this device is fantastic for anything involving rolling codes, hit and repeat.
PandwaRF Rogue Pro
RFID + CONTACTLESS
Hardware for NFC, RFID, smart-card, and contactless-system research, from simple readers to serious lab tools.
Pocket-sized RFID laboratory for analyzing, developing, and testing contactless systems you normally only interact with as a black box.
Proxmark 3 RDV4
Tiny programmable handheld platform begging to become a field terminal, RF interface, scanner, controller, or cyberdeck peripheral.
T-Embed
Open-source USB hardware-hacking platform with 100 expansion pins. Basically a programmable translator between your laptop and questionable electronics.
GreatFET One - Great Scott Gadgets
a great piece, newer. great piece for those who want to do hardware hacking.
iCopy-XS - Hacker Warehouse
For bluetooth research. find the hidden variables within your physical sector.
Ubertooth One - Hacker Warehouse
EMBEDDED + BUS
Tools for talking directly to chips, buses, microcontrollers, flash memory, UART, SPI, I2C, and mystery hardware.
Universal hardware interrogation tool. Talk directly to mystery chips before you’ve even written firmware for them.
Get Bus Pirate
Tiny ESP32-S3 computer with its own display. Excellent raw material for pocket utilities, sensor interfaces, network monitors, and tiny bespoke instruments.
LILYGO T-Display-S3 ESP32-S3 1.9" LCD
Low-power wireless field terminal with LoRa potential. Great basis for mesh nodes, environmental monitors, and disconnected network experiments.
LILYGO T-Deck ESP32-S3 LoRa TTGO Development Board
ESP32-S3 handheld fused with a sub-GHz transceiver. Exactly the sort of object that makes SIGNAL WORKS feel like an illicit RadioShack from another timeline.
LILYGO T-Embed CC1101 Plus ESP32-S3 Board
bus hoppers unite! get a hold of it. hop the bus. pirate vibes. err. argh.
Hydrabus- Open source multi-tool hardware
can bus nerds, you there? get a hold of the best bus doodad i know.
CANable
ANALYSIS + LAB
Logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, measurement gear, microscopes, probes, and bench equipment for seeing what hardware is actually doing.
Watch digital conversations happening between chips in real time. One of those tools that makes previously opaque hardware suddenly start talking.
Logic 8 (Black) - Saleae 8-Channel Logic Analyzer
For USB protocol analysis.to the utmost and ultimate byte.
Cynthion - Hacker Warehouse
awesome to see the unseen , map thy locale in ways never sensed by the wetware bodysenses.
Glasgow Interface Explorer
very cool and very cheap. look at the invisible waves.
