Spectrum Eye

Overview

I started this project with the goal of creating a single device that acts like the Swiss Army Knife of RF analysis tools. The Spectrum Eye is designed to be portable, powerful, and versatile, capable of performing a wide range of RF analysis tasks on the go. It combines a Raspberry Pi 4b running Kali Linux with an NESDR Mini 2+ SDR dongle for RF signal reception and analysis. The device includes a Netgear R6020 router, allowing it to create its own Wi-Fi access point for local connectivity. Through the dashboard web interface, users can control the SDR and do various RF and Wi-Fi tasks. Currently, the Spectrum Eye's capabilities include Wi-Fi scanning and basic signal analysis. Future plans include adding features like spectrum visualization, pentesting tools, and more features using the SDR's capabilities. The device can be accessed remotely via a Cloudflare tunnel that is linked in this very website, allowing users to control it from anywhere. The web dashboard includes both pre configured commands as well as a textbox in which users can input their own commands to be executed on the device. This allows for lots of versatility and flexibility. In the future, I plan to further expand the Spectrum Eye's capabilities in a few ways, including but not limited to: Replacing the NESDR with a HackRF for transmission capabilities and increased instantaneous bandwidth, more effectively integrating a battery pack, and adding more advanced RF analysis and pentesting tools to the web interface. I also plan to create a Github repository to which the Raspberry Pi is linked, so that I can more easily make changes and document the project.
