Redmine CSD (Circuit Switched Data) supporthttps://osmocom.org/news/2442024-01-26T22:44:30Zfixeria
<p>We're happy to announce that osmocom-bb now supports <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_Switched_Data" class="external">Circuit Switched Data</a> calls (see <a class="issue tracker-2 status-3 priority-2 priority-default closed" title="Feature: Circuit Switched Data (CSD) Support in osmocom-bb (Resolved)" href="https://osmocom.org/issues/4396">#4396</a>).<br />It's not 100% complete, there are bugs and missing features (see <a class="issue tracker-2 status-1 priority-2 priority-default" title="Feature: mobile: support data calls @ 14400 bps (TCH/F14.4) (New)" href="https://osmocom.org/issues/6346">#6346</a>, <a class="issue tracker-2 status-1 priority-2 priority-default" title="Feature: mobile: support data calls @ 300 bps and 1200/75 bps (TCH/[FH]2.4) (New)" href="https://osmocom.org/issues/6347">#6347</a>), but it's mature enough to do async transparent data calls.<br />See <a class="wiki-page" href="https://osmocom.org/projects/baseband/wiki/CSD">CSD</a> for more details on the call establishment procedures and the necessary configuration.</p> 29C3 Osmocom Talks https://osmocom.org/news/382013-01-17T12:53:00Zlaforge

</ul> PHDays 2012 - Abusing Calypso talk https://osmocom.org/news/372012-06-20T12:53:00Zlaforge
<p>Osmocom-BB team member Sylvain Munaut gave a talk at PHDays 2012 about abusing the calypso phones.</p>
<p>It mostly focus on the technical details of the DSP hacking that was done previously to use those phones as passive sniffer and demonstrates some more hacking to turn those phones into BTS.</p>
<p>The talk video is available <a href="http://live.digitaloctober.ru/embed/1207?language=en&params%5Bpw%5D=630&params%5Bph%5D=355&params%5Bepisodes_under%5D=1&params%5Beh%5D=100#time1338441117" class="external">here</a> and the slides are available <a href="http://people.osmocom.org/tnt/talks/phdays2012-abusing-calypso-phones.pdf" class="external">here</a></p> OsmocomBB RSSI monitor firmwarehttps://osmocom.org/news/362012-01-28T12:53:00Zlaforge
<p>OsmocomBB team member Andreas Eversberg has been working on a new RSSI monitor firmware application within OsmocomBB.</p>
<p>Using this firmware, it is possible to monitor the RSSI of individual ARFCNs or even the entire spectrum.</p>
<p><img src="http://projects.osmocom.org/attachments/2199" alt="" /> <img src="http://projects.osmocom.org/attachments/2201" alt="" /></p>
<p>Depending on the hardware capabilities (e.g. <a class="wiki-page" href="https://osmocom.org/projects/baseband/wiki/HardwareFilterReplacement">Hardware/FilterReplacement</a>), it is also possible to measure the uplink RSSI.</p>
<p>More details are available at <a class="wiki-page" href="https://osmocom.org/projects/baseband/wiki/Rssibin">rssi.bin</a>.</p>
<p>The current status of this firmware is available from the <code>laforge/monitor</code> branch in git, but is expected to be merged soon into master.</p> Slides of sideband GSM sniffing talk at 27c3https://osmocom.org/news/332011-01-01T15:38:00Zlaforge
