Universal Radio Hacker: Investigate Wireless Protocols Like A Boss

>> or somewhat expensive and complex SDR
I don’t think that’s as accurate today as it used to be.
On the hardware side there are tons of options very cheaply available - iirc the flipper uses the c1100 (or a number like that) it’s a popular cheap chip and it’s well documented and interfaces easily with arduino.
More accessibly, lime mini SDRs are cheap but there’s quite a few alternatives too.
On the software side GNU Radio is free with decent tutorials - we’re not talking anything like blender levels of difficulty to adopt even if it is a complex domain.
Although on the more accessible side, urh is incredibly powerful given how easy to use it is https://github.com/jopohl/urh
I used the latter to tap into a 2 channel wireless bbq thermometer via a $10 rtl sdr and that was a breeze, an absolute walk in the park compared to when I reverse engineered the flysky telemetry system.

Next-Gen GUI-based WiFi and Bluetooth Analyzer for Linux

Project mention: I'm not sure about the capabilities. | /r/hackrf | 2023-07-05

Repurposing WIFI and DVB-T receiver devices as SDR receivers works "OK", but trying to use a SDR for WIFI is terrible. There have been some attempts to analyze WIFI with the HackRF, but the narrow bandwidth/sample rate make it pretty useless. https://github.com/ghostop14/sparrow-wifi
