Midnight Blue will present its specialist Red Team SIGINT training course at Black Hat USA 2026, covering practical SDR hacking techniques for mission-critical, automotive, aviation, and marine targets across two sessions in August.

Midnight Blue announced that the company will present its specialist training course — Red Team SIGINT: Practical SDR Hacking for Mission-Critical, Automotive, Aviation, and Marine Targets — at Black Hat USA 2026. The training is scheduled to run on two separate occasions: August 1–2 and August 3–4, offering participants flexibility in attendance.

The course guides students through the full SIGINT cycle, with a focus on practical RF spectrum reconnaissance. Participants will learn how to extract signal characteristics and apply both manual and automated techniques to fingerprint and classify Signals of Interest (SOIs) across a range of target environments.

The training also covers the Signals Metadata Format (SigMF), a standardised framework for uniform signals data exchange used in both SIGINT and Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR) workflows.

Students will additionally gain hands-on experience building modular analysis pipelines using Python and GNU Radio.
