The belated May 2025 recipient for the Great Scott Gadgets Free Stuff Program is Nagamani C Gunjal, a university student who has requested a HackRF One for an academic project that involves research and demonstration of real-world vulnerabilities in consumer and commercial drones by analyzing and manipulating radio communication protocols. Her focus is on ethical hacking and the security testing of drones that operate using RF signals, specifically targeting control signals transmitted between the radio transmitter and onboard radio receiver module of the drone. This project is part of a broader study on UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) security with an ultimate goal of proposing and implementing improved countermeasures for secure UAV communication. She has told us that the requested device will be essential for capturing, decoding, and replaying drone communication signals in controlled environments for testing purposes!
