This isn't a relevant concern for general purpose / experimental
hardware like bladerf, hackrf, or usrp hanging off a PC. They're
intended to be user programmable. If someone roots your box, they can
replace your FPGA image, usb, or microcontroller firmware ... but to
what end? The platform is

Since most SDRs out there have fully reconfigurable-by-the-end-user FPGA
and firmware images, I don't think the notion of "compromise"
has much meaning in this context, further because access to the devices
is freely available to ordinary user-level processes, they can ask the
radio to do
Hello,
Recently I read a paper on cognitive radio security (Secure
reconfiguration of software-defined radio). It highlights that the
operating system of cognitive radio node may be compromised as the
malware can exploit software vulnerabilities. I am wondering if the FPGA
and firmware are part
