RF Sentinel 2.23.0

RF Sentinel 2.23.0

New

• ADS-B aircraft receiver: an RTL-SDR on 1090 MHz decodes the aircraft around you itself (position, altitude, speed, call sign), with no internet. Police aircraft go through the same checks as the online feeds, show on the map and in Android Auto. Settings › RTL-SDR radio.
• Online aircraft feeds can be turned off, so police aircraft come only from your RTL-SDR and nothing leaves the phone.
• Camera direction cones: plate, speed and red-light cameras show which way they face. A camera facing across your road no longer warns; set the direction yourself when it isn't mapped.
• Drone Remote ID over Wi-Fi Aware on phones that have it.
• Follower alerts for a flagged device that keeps turning up at 3 or more places within 2 hours, not only one that stays with you.
• Probe shape of devices heard by a USB WiFi adapter, with FlipDeFlock's candidate Flock shapes as weak hits; any probe shape can be watched.
• Two new fake-cell signs: a never-seen cell far stronger than the last while you stand still, and an area code none of the neighbours share.
• Trackability now says what was seen: the same address over several days, or a rotating address linked to the old one.
• Ambulance gear (ZOLL, Stryker, LIFEPAK), IP-camera setup networks and mesh radio nodes are recognised; train WiFi no longer triggers following alerts.
• Antenna check in the tools menu compares a USB adapter's antennas.
• Android Auto lists police aircraft overhead in Threats.

Fixes

• A raw GPS backstop keeps fixes coming when the fused location goes silent.
• A throttled Bluetooth scan is restarted.
• USB WiFi adapters back off on bursts of empty transfers; the MT7612U says when it came up uncalibrated, and every driver gives a clear unplug / plug back in message.
• MT7921AU covers the 6 GHz channels more evenly.
• An unavailable cell signal reading no longer counts as a strong 4G cell.

Thanks

• Wardrive Go by RocketGod inspired the antenna check, the GPS backstop, the Bluetooth scan restart, the USB robustness work and the new detection categories.
• OpenDroneID receiver-android (Wi-Fi Aware Remote ID), Chasing Your Tail (multi-place following), FlipDeFlock (probe shapes), SkyPulse, dump1090 and The 1090 MHz Riddle (ADS-B), AIMSICD and SnoopSnitch (fake-cell signs), and MetaRadar (trackability).

ARM phones, 64-bit and 32-bit (about 50 MB). Detection only: RF Sentinel never transmits.
