I gave it a try on my main computer and it was pretty easy to install and use.

Since the software is being updated every few weeks, see the <a href="https://github.com/smittix/intercept?tab=readme-ov-file#installation--debian--ubuntu--macos" class="urlextern" title="https://github.com/smittix/intercept?tab=readme-ov-file#installation--debian--ubuntu--macos" rel="ugc nofollow">GitHub page</a> for the latest instructions.

To start the program, I ran:
</p>
<pre class="code bash"><span class="kw3">source</span> venv<span class="sy0">/</span>bin<span class="sy0">/</span>activate <span class="sy0">&&</span> <span class="kw2">sudo</span> venv<span class="sy0">/</span>bin<span class="sy0">/</span>python intercept.py</pre>
<p>
For convenience, I add this to my alias.
</p>
<p>
This gives more instructions on how to access the program, and how to stop it:
</p>
<pre class="code">==================================================
INTERCEPT // Signal Intelligence
Pager / 433MHz / Aircraft / Satellite / WiFi / BT
==================================================
Open http://localhost:5050 in your browser
Press Ctrl+C to stop</pre>
<p>
It also shows other IP addresses where the program can be accessed (which I'm not showing here).
</p>
<p>
I added more details of what I was able and unable to decode in the discussion (must be logged into the website to see). Add comments if you give it a try!
