First, connect your RTL-SDR dongle to one of the USB ports on your Raspberry Pi (the hardware running Pwnagotchi). Ensure the dongle is properly seated and secure. 2. Access the Pwnagotchi Terminal

To configure the RTL-SDR and test rtl_adsb, you'll need to access the terminal on your Pwnagotchi. You can do this in several ways:

Directly via Keyboard and Monitor: If you have a monitor and keyboard connected to your Raspberry Pi, you can access the terminal directly.
SSH: If your Pwnagotchi is connected to your network, you can SSH into it. The default username is usually pi, and the password is raspberry, unless you've changed it. The IP address can be found on the Pwnagotchi screen or through your router's DHCP client list.

Install RTL-SDR Drivers and Utilities

Once you're in the terminal, you'll likely need to install the RTL-SDR drivers and the rtl_adsb utility. Pwnagotchi is based on Raspbian, so you can use apt-get to install these packages. Run the following commands: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install rtl-sdr

Verify RTL-SDR Dongle Recognition

After installation, verify that the RTL-SDR dongle is recognized by the system:

rtl_test

This command checks if the RTL-SDR dongle is properly recognized. You should see output indicating the detection of the dongle. If there are errors or the dongle is not detected, ensure it's properly connected or try reconnecting it.

Run rtl_adsb

Now, try running rtl_adsb to see if you can receive ADS-B signals:

rtl_adsb

This command starts the ADS-B reception. If your RTL-SDR is set up correctly and there are aircraft in range, you should see ADS-B messages appearing in the terminal.

Add adsbsniffer.py to /usr/local/share/pwnagotchi/installed-plugins and /usr/local/share/pwnagotchi/availaible-plugins

In /etc/pwnagotchi/config.toml file add:

main.plugins.adsbsniffer.enabled = true main.plugins.adsbsniffer.timer = 60 main.plugins.adsbsniffer.aircraft_file = "/root/handshakes/adsb_aircraft.json" main.plugins.adsbsniffer.adsb_x_coord = 120 main.plugins.adsbsniffer.adsb_y_coord = 50
