Changelog

All notable changes to KAT are documented here.

[1.1.0] - 2026-02-13

Added

• RSSI Bar — Live received signal strength indicator in the UI.
• KeeLoq Decodes — KeeLoq generic fallback and keystore-based decoding (see 1.0.1); listed here for 1.1.0 release.
• Vulnerability Database — Built-in CVE database (Year/Make/Model/Region). New Vuln Found column (Yes/No). Press i on a capture to set Year/Make/Model/Region; matching CVEs appear in the detail panel. Same metadata used for .fob export.

Updated

• Keystore — Keystore improvements and additional keys.

Fixed

• VAG decoding — Fixes and improvements for VAG protocol decoding.

[1.0.2] - 2026-02-13

Added

• RTL-SDR support (receive-only) — KAT can use an RTL-SDR (e.g. RTL433-style dongles) when no HackRF is present. Device selection: HackRF first, then RTL-SDR. With RTL-SDR, capture and decode work as normal; transmit (Lock/Unlock/Trunk/Panic, Replay) is disabled with a clear message. Header shows RTL-SDR (RX only); signal menu shows (no TX) on transmit actions when using RTL-SDR. Dependency: rtl-sdr-rs. README updated with supported hardware and Linux DVB-T note.

Fixed

• :q / :quit terminal state — :q and :quit now request quit via the main loop instead of std::process::exit(0), so the terminal is properly restored (raw mode off, alternate screen left, cursor shown), matching behavior of pressing q.

Changed

• UI — DISCONNECTED status in the header is now shown in red. Startup no-device warning text updated to "or continue without TX/RX support" (was "or continue in demo mode"). Header displays the active device name (HackRF, RTL-SDR (RX only), or No device).

[1.0.1] - 2026-02-13

Fixed

• Ford V0 — Decoder fix for Ford keyfob signals (BinRAW/RAW .sub handling and decode alignment).

Added

• KeeLoq generic fallback — When a capture does not decode as any known protocol, KAT now tries to decode it as KeeLoq using every manufacturer key in the embedded keystore (Kia V3/V4 and Star Line air formats). Successful decodes appear in the capture list as Keeloq (keystore name) (e.g. Keeloq (Alligator), Keeloq (Pandora_PRO)). Implemented in keeloq_generic.rs using the keeloq_common helper only.

Changed

• Embedded keystore — Updated with additional manufacturer keys (including Pandora and other entries). KeeLoq generic fallback uses all KeeLoq MF keys (types 0, 1, 2, 10, 20) from the keystore.
