#### Investigate Wireless Protocols Like A Boss

The Universal Radio Hacker (URH) is a complete suite for wireless protocol investigation with native support for many common **Software Defined Radios**.
URH allows **easy demodulation** of signals combined with an automatic detection of modulation parameters making it a breeze to identify the bits and bytes that fly over the air.
As data often gets *encoded* before transmission, URH offers **customizable decodings** to crack even sophisticated encodings like CC1101 data whitening.
When it comes to **protocol reverse-engineering**, URH is helpful in two ways. You can either manually assign protocol fields and message types or let URH **automatically infer protocol fields** with a rule-based intelligence.
Finally, URH entails a **fuzzing component** aimed at stateless protocols and a **simulation environment** to perform stateful attacks.

After installation, give URH access to your USB in order to access your USB based SDRs:

```
sudo snap connect urh:raw-usb
```

In order to access your SDR as non-root user, install the according **udev rules** available at <https://github.com/jopohl/urh/wiki/SDR-udev-rules>.

If you want to use your Soundcard as an SDR for receiving please execute:

```
sudo snap connect urh:audio-record
```
