Universal Radio Hacker (URH) is a complete open-source suite for investigating wireless protocols, with native support for many common Software Defined Radios. It provides automatic modulation parameter detection, customizable decodings, protocol field inference, a fuzzing component, and a simulation environment for stateful attacks.
Use cases
- reverse-engineer wireless protocols from captured RF signals
- demodulate and decode signals from an SDR like HackRF or RTL-SDR
- fuzz stateless IoT wireless protocols
- simulate stateful attacks against wireless devices
- automatically infer protocol fields from recorded messages
- crack custom encodings like CC1101 data whitening
- analyze and replay RF communications of smart home devices
When to choose
- you need a GUI-based tool to capture, analyze, and replay wireless signals with an SDR
- you want automated modulation detection and protocol field inference during RF reverse-engineering
- you are doing IoT or embedded security research on proprietary wireless protocols
When to avoid
- you only need Wi-Fi or Bluetooth analysis, which dedicated tools handle better
- you need a headless CLI-only signal processing pipeline
- you require real-time signal monitoring at high bandwidths beyond URH's analysis focus
