Playing with the GSM RF Interface
Doing tricks with a mobile phone
This talk will show what can be done by taking control of the GSM RF part of a mobile phone, for example performing a DoS attack to the GSM network or using the phone as a sniffing device.
If the RF hardware of a mobile phone can be controlled, lots of things are possible, for example:
- Sending continuous Channel Request which can lead to a huge load for a GSM cell and could be considered as a DoS attack to the GSM network.
- Use a mobile phone as a cheap GSM receiver for sniffing the air traffic somehow similar to what can be done with the USRP.
