Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) is a safety and surveillance technology in which an aircraft determines its position via satellite navigation and periodically broadcasts it, enabling it to be tracked.

These ADS-B data can be received by nerds enthusiasts using Software Defined Radio (SDR), and shared with aggregators, which collect, combine, and redistribute flight information for fun and profit.
