DragonOS is a distribution built around software-defined radio (SDR) and RF tooling, aimed at SDR enthusiasts, researchers, and RF professionals rather than general-purpose penetration testing.

Getting started

DragonOS is distributed as a disk image for x86_64 systems and Raspberry Pi (aarch64), built around software-defined radio (SDR) and RF tooling rather than general network/web pentesting. It bundles GNU Radio, GQRX, SDRangel, and other SDR applications into one ready-to-use environment for signal reception, decoding, and analysis. Its official site doesn't publish a structured tool catalog — a SourceForge changelog tracks package versions per release instead.
