For #MakerMonday this week, we’re diving into the pages of the latest issue of Raspberry Pi Official Magazine, where we find Signal Sentinel – a great research project that harnesses Raspberry Pi 5’s ability to detect radio jammers.

Cybersecurity gets plenty of media coverage, not least because most of us have become so dependent on electronic communication and internet connectivity that disruptions can cause major havoc. In splat-a-rat fashion, one type of threat gets beaten back, only for another to rear its head.

Solent University final-year student Josh Perryman reasoned that focusing his efforts on identifying a specific type of cyberthreat would be a practical use of machine learning, and also make a great excuse to finally try Raspberry Pi’s capabilities in this field for himself. His Signal Sentinel can detect jamming attacks on wirelessly connected devices including IoT hardware and even cars – an increasingly prevalent target for thieves. Josh envisages his Signal Sentinel being integrated with other systems which mitigate or prevent the attack.
