LTE Interception

1. OVERVIEW GSM interceptor is an equipment that can collect information from phones across targeted vicinities and can intercept conversations. GSM INTERCEPTOR

2. BASIC COMPONENTS OF GSM NETWORK BTS - Base Transceiver Station BSC – Base Station Controller MSC – Mobile Switching Centre 

3. One of the security vulnerabilities of GSM networks is the lack of mutual authentication. The GSM handset does not identify the false BTS and the UE will connect to the nearest base station.

4. Step 1 - Make flase BTS and try to get connected victim to the false BTS Original BTS False BTS Victim 1 2 3 4

5. Step 2 - Make flase BTS and try to connect victim’s mobile to the false BTS 5

6. Attempting to locate or identify base stations or their operating parameters without proper authorization. Establish the false BTS with Blade RF SDR to the selected Base Station Frequency and parameters. Set BTS as accept all subscribers. Route the GSM traffic through the false BTS.

7. Fully active real-time ARFCN forward and reverse monitoring Monitoring Voice(Under development), SMS and Traffic Compatible for all GSM bands – 850/900/1800/1900 Bands Installation can be done in different platforms Automatic scan for active GSM networks around Detection of Location of real-network BTS around Target identification by IMSI CAPABILITIES OF GSM IMSI CATCHER

8. LIMITATIONS Range is limited to 40m. Imitation of captured mobile device is not possible with developed system(Imitation of GSM UE). Further developments to be done with reliab le hardware platforms Huawei licenses need to be obtained from Huawei Corporation to develop a reliable 4G intercepting system.
