Urh
This project is an integrated software suite and graphical workbench designed for capturing, visualizing, and reverse engineering wireless communication protocols and digital waveforms. It functions as a platform for software-defined radio analysis, enabling the recording of raw radio frequency data from hardware devices to facilitate the investigation of unknown or proprietary communication logic.
The software distinguishes itself through a protocol-agnostic data modeling approach that represents radio transmissions as abstract bitstreams, decoupling analysis tools from specific modulation or encoding schemes. It incorporates a signal-processing pipeline that transforms raw samples into structured data through automated filtering, demodulation, and decoding stages. Users can further extend these capabilities by implementing custom decoders and signal processors through a modular plugin architecture.
The workbench provides a comprehensive environment for embedded systems security testing and wireless protocol reverse engineering. It features hardware-accelerated graphical tools for the manual inspection and annotation of complex signal patterns, alongside heuristic-based analysis to automatically identify modulation parameters and timing characteristics within captured data. The project is distributed as a Python-based application that interfaces with radio peripherals through a unified abstraction layer.

Star history
How this analysis was created: This summary and feature list were written by an AI model that read the project's README and public documentation pages. Each feature links to the documentation it came from; stars, license and language come straight from the GitHub API. The model does not read the source code, and the analysis is refreshed when the project is re-analysed. Learn more on our About page.
