# INTERCEPT Usage Guide Detailed instructions for each mode. ## Pager Mode 1. **Select Hardware** - Choose your SDR type (RTL-SDR, LimeSDR, or HackRF) 2. **Select Device** - Choose your SDR device from the dropdown 3. **Set Frequency** - Enter a frequency in MHz or use a preset 4. **Choose Protocols** - Select which protocols to decode (POCSAG/FLEX) 5. **Adjust Settings** - Set gain, squelch, and PPM correction as needed 6. **Start Decoding** - Click the green "Start Decoding" button ### Frequency Presets - Click a preset button to quickly set a frequency - Add custom presets using the input field and "Add" button - Right-click a preset to remove it - Click "Reset to Defaults" to restore default frequencies ## 433MHz Sensor Mode 1. **Select Hardware** - Choose your SDR type 2. **Select Device** - Choose your SDR device 3. **Start Decoding** - Click "Start Decoding" 4. **View Sensors** - Decoded sensor data appears in real-time Supports 200+ protocols including weather stations, TPMS, doorbells, and IoT devices. ## WiFi Mode 1. **Select Interface** - Choose a WiFi adapter capable of monitor mode 2. **Enable Monitor Mode** - Click "Enable Monitor" (uncheck "Kill processes" to preserve other connections) 3. **Start Scanning** - Click "Start Scanning" to begin 4. **View Networks** - Networks appear in the output panel with signal strength 5. **Track Devices** - Click the chart icon on any network to track its signal over time 6. **Capture Handshakes** - Click "Capture" on a network to start handshake capture ### Tips - Run with `sudo` for monitor mode to work - Check your adapter supports monitor mode: `iw list | grep monitor` - Use "Kill processes" option if NetworkManager interferes ## Bluetooth Mode 1. **Select Interface** - Choose your Bluetooth adapter 2. **Choose Mode** - Select scan mode (hcitool, bluetoothctl) 3. **Start Scanning** - Click "Start Scanning" 4. **View Devices** - Devices appear with name, address, and classification ### Tracker Detection INTERCEPT automatically detects known trackers: - Apple AirTag - Tile - Samsung SmartTag - Chipolo ## Aircraft Mode (ADS-B) 1. **Select Hardware** - Choose your SDR type (RTL-SDR uses dump1090, others use readsb) 2. **Check Tools** - Ensure dump1090 or readsb is installed 3. **Set Location** - Choose location source: - **Manual Entry** - Type coordinates directly - **Browser GPS** - Use browser's built-in geolocation (requires HTTPS) - **USB GPS Dongle** - Connect a USB GPS receiver for continuous updates 4. **Start Tracking** - Click "Start Tracking" to begin ADS-B reception 5. **View Map** - Aircraft appear on the interactive Leaflet map 6. **Click Aircraft** - Click markers for detailed information 7. **Display Options** - Toggle callsigns, altitude, trails, range rings, clustering 8. **Filter Aircraft** - Use dropdown to show all, military, civil, or emergency only 9. **Full Dashboard** - Click "Full Screen Dashboard" for dedicated radar view ### Emergency Squawks The system highlights aircraft transmitting emergency squawks: - **7500** - Hijack - **7600** - Radio failure - **7700** - General emergency ## Satellite Mode 1. **Set Location** - Choose location source: - **Manual Entry** - Type coordinates directly - **Browser GPS** - Use browser's built-in geolocation - **USB GPS Dongle** - Connect a USB GPS receiver for continuous updates 2. **Add Satellites** - Click "Add Satellite" to enter TLE data or fetch from Celestrak 3. **Calculate Passes** - Click "Calculate Passes" to predict upcoming passes 4. **View Sky Plot** - Polar plot shows satellite positions in real-time 5. **Ground Track** - Map displays satellite orbit path and current position 6. **Full Dashboard** - Click "Full Screen Dashboard" for dedicated satellite view ### Adding Satellites from Celestrak 1. Click "Add Satellite" 2. Select "Fetch from Celestrak" 3. Choose a category (Amateur, Weather, ISS, Starlink, etc.) 4. Select satellites to add ## Configuration INTERCEPT can be configured via environment variables: | Variable | Default | Description | |----------|---------|-------------| | `INTERCEPT_HOST` | `0.0.0.0` | Server bind address | | `INTERCEPT_PORT` | `5050` | Server port | | `INTERCEPT_DEBUG` | `false` | Enable debug mode | | `INTERCEPT_LOG_LEVEL` | `WARNING` | Log level (DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR) | | `INTERCEPT_DEFAULT_GAIN` | `40` | Default RTL-SDR gain | Example: `INTERCEPT_PORT=8080 sudo python3 intercept.py` ## Command-line Options ``` python3 intercept.py --help -p, --port PORT Port to run server on (default: 5050) -H, --host HOST Host to bind to (default: 0.0.0.0) -d, --debug Enable debug mode --check-deps Check dependencies and exit ```
