Reverse engineering a car key fob signal

0x44.cc 13 min read

I’ve had the curiosity to explore radio communication protocols for a few years now, ever since I’ve started fiddling around with an RTL-SDR dongle. I always had the goal of figuring out how data is transmitted in remote controls (car key fobs particularly), trying replay attacks, and other possible attack vectors.
