APRS Layout: - Redesigned visualization panel with flexbox layout - Map panel now takes 2/3 width with station list on right (1/3) - Station list has proper min/max width (280-350px) - Packet log at bottom with max height - Better use of space for all screen sizes Satellite Features: - Restored satellite modal (was missing HTML, only JS existed) - Add Satellite (TLE) button for manual TLE input - Update from Celestrak button with category selection - Categories: Space Stations, Weather, NOAA, GOES, Amateur, CubeSats, Starlink, OneWeb, Iridium NEXT, Visual, Geo, Resources - Tracked satellites list in sidebar - Modal tabs for TLE input vs Celestrak fetch Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
INTERCEPT
Signal Intelligence Platform
A web-based interface for software-defined radio tools.
Features
- Pager Decoding - POCSAG/FLEX via rtl_fm + multimon-ng
- 433MHz Sensors - Weather stations, TPMS, IoT devices via rtl_433
- Aircraft Tracking - ADS-B via dump1090 with real-time map and radar
- ACARS Messaging - Aircraft datalink messages via acarsdec
- Listening Post - Frequency scanner with audio monitoring
- Satellite Tracking - Pass prediction using TLE data
- WiFi Scanning - Monitor mode reconnaissance via aircrack-ng
- Bluetooth Scanning - Device discovery and tracker detection
Installation / Debian / Ubuntu / MacOS
**1. Clone and run:**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/smittix/intercept.git
cd intercept
./setup.sh
sudo -E venv/bin/python intercept.py
Docker (Alternative)
git clone https://github.com/smittix/intercept.git
cd intercept
docker compose up -d
Note: Docker requires privileged mode for USB SDR access. See
docker-compose.ymlfor configuration options.
Open the Interface
After starting, open http://localhost:5050 in your browser.
Hardware Requirements
| Hardware | Purpose | Price |
|---|---|---|
| RTL-SDR | Required for all SDR features | ~$25-35 |
| WiFi adapter | Must support promiscuous (monitor) mode | ~$20-40 |
| Bluetooth adapter | Device scanning (usually built-in) | - |
| GPS | Any Linux supported GPS Unit | ~10 |
Most features work with a basic RTL-SDR dongle (RTL2832U + R820T2).
| ❗ Not using an RTL-SDR Device? |
|---|
| Intercept supports any device that SoapySDR supports. You must however have the correct module for your device installed! For example if you have an SDRPlay device you'd need to install soapysdr-module-sdrplay. |
| ❗ GPS Usage |
|---|
| gpsd is needed for real time location. Intercept automatically checks to see if you're running gpsd in the background when any maps are rendered. |
