A software toolkit for remotely eavesdropping on video monitors by capturing compromising electromagnetic emanations from video cables using a software-defined radio receiver. It consists of a C library, SDR front-end plugins, and a Java-based cross-platform GUI that reconstructs a grayscale estimate of the target video in real time.
Use cases
- reconstruct a target screen's video signal from RF emanations with an SDR dongle
- demonstrate TEMPEST-style side-channel attacks in security research
- estimate a monitor's resolution and refresh rate without prior knowledge
- post-process noisy SDR captures to improve signal-to-noise ratio
- teach or study compromising emanations and radio eavesdropping
When to choose
- you have an SDR receiver and want to test video emanation leakage
- you need a ready-made cross-platform GUI for TEMPEST experiments
- you want off-the-shelf hardware support without custom RF equipment
When to avoid
- you need a maintained tool with frequent updates and support
- you want a general-purpose SDR signal analysis suite rather than video reconstruction
- your use case requires legal authorization you do not have
