  • Hackers be hacking..

    An alert Kiwi owner/admin has sent me some suspicious log messages. They are obvious hacking attempts. If you see anything similar or unusual in your logs I'd appreciate it if you could forward the relevant log messages to support@kiwisdr.com

    I'm particularly interested in log messages containing ### SECURITY: NO AUTH YET:

    And also **** unknown stream type

    And any attempted admin login messages from IP addresses you're not expecting.

    So far the Kiwi security mechanisms appear to be working and there has not been any evidence of any breaches. Please be sure you have a good, strong admin password in place.

    The IP address in question has been added to the IP blacklist which your Kiwi should receive during the overnight update window. You can also update it manually on the admin page, network tab.

    Thank you.

  • API?

    No there isn't. The regular web interface isn't even properly documented yet.

    About all you can do is take a look at kiwiclient / kiwirecorder or the server source code.

  • Forum rules and etiquette

    This is a private, non-public forum for discussing technical topics related to the genuine (original) KiwiSDR product. The forum monthly operating costs are funded out of the profits from selling KiwiSDRs.

    We reserve the right to edit or remove your posts or to ban your participation. If you want to criticize our work that's fine. Just do it somewhere else please. We are all very busy and don't want to spend a lot of time managing chaos on the forum.

    • New participants: Take some time to understand the product, the community, the ecosystem and the limitations that have evolved since the product introduction in 2016. The project authors do not have the resources or capabilities you might think they do.
    • Don't ask support questions about non-genuine KiwiSDR devices. There are other support forums specifically for those devices. If you're not going to support us by buying our stuff you shouldn't be surprised when we don't reciprocate.
    • No "low effort" posts. Search the forum and website FAQ for an answer before asking your question. 
    • Don't complain about well known, long-standing technical limitations such as: audio latency, lack of https/TLS, run-as-root, spotting efficiency of the WSPR extension etc. We know all about these issues and most have been discussed for many years. They are either difficult to solve, have no solution or are way down on the priority list.
    • Don't violate security "zero-day" rules. Don't report security vulnerabilities here or on Twitter. Send them to the support email instead.
    • Don't attempt to explain what you think "open source" means. Everyone is wrong about that. Including me.

    Thank you.

  • Damage due to nearby lightning strike

  • TDOA possibly offline from 28 June 2021 [fixed]

    Should be okay now. Someone made a weird Kiwi configuration which broke the TDoA script on kiwisdr.com. This has happened once before I believe.
