Osmocom SIMtrace 2 is a software, firmware and hardware system for passively tracing SIM-ME communication between the SIM card and the mobile phone, and remote SIM operation.
6 9 tsaitgaist
While it was designed for SIM-ME communication, it supports all ISO 7816 smart-cards using the T=0 protocol (the most common case).
7 1 tsaitgaist

It is a followup of the "SIMtrace project":/projects/simtrace/wiki, providing more functionalities (e.g. remote SIM operation) and supporting multiple boards (e.g. SIMtrace with SAM3S, "sysmoQMOD":https://www.sysmocom.de/products/sysmoqmod/index.html).

h2. Hardware
11
12 10 tsaitgaist
The SIMtrace 2 firmware supports several boards.
13
The firmware is written for an "ATSAM3S4B":https://www.microchip.com/wwwproducts/en/ATSAM3S4B micro-controller.
14 1 tsaitgaist
15 12 tsaitgaist
Note: The SAM3S is meanwhile labelled as _not recommended for new designs_ by Atmel. However, there are plenty of hardware and software compatible upgrade options, including SAM4S. The upgrade is possible in the future.

The main purpose of this board is to sniff the communication between a phone and a SIM card (or any card reader and smart-card).
22 1 tsaitgaist
23 17 roh
This is the same circuit board as the previous "SIMtrace v1":/projects/simtrace/wiki/SIMtrace_Hardware, with the exception that the "ATSAM3S4B":https://www.microchip.com/wwwproducts/en/ATSAM3S4B micro-controller replaces the old "AT91SAM7S64":https://www.microchip.com/wwwproducts/en/AT91SAM7S64. Since the SAM3S is pin compatible with the SAM7S, any SIMtrace v1 board can be converted into a SIMtrace v2 board simply by replacing the micro-controller.

h2. Firmware
44
45 10 tsaitgaist
The SIMtrace 2 firmware source code is available in "git":https://git.osmocom.org/simtrace2/.
46 20 tsaitgaist
Pre-built firmware binaries are available "here":http://ftp.osmocom.org/binaries/simtrace2/firmware/.
47
The firmware are currently under active development and we recommend to [[Flashing|flash]] the new firmware images to profit from the latest bug fixes and added functionalities.
48 1 tsaitgaist
49
The SIMtrace 2 firmware is a complete rewrite and *can only be flashed on hardware with SAM3S* ARM Cortex-M3-based micro-controllers.
50 18 roh
*The SIMtrace 2 firmware is not compatible with the older "SIMtrace v1":/projects/simtrace/wiki/SIMtrace_Hardware using SAM7S ARM7TDMI-based micro-controllers.*

52 23 tsaitgaist
To get the version of the firmware flashed on the device:
53
* connect a USB to UART cable either to the 2.5 mm stereo headphone connector (tip = TX, ring = RX, sleeve = GND) or the nearby DEBUG port (pin 1 = GND, pin 4 = TX, pin 5 = RX)
54
* open the serial port with the following configuration: 921600 8N1 (115200 8N1 before version 0.5.1.2-80d9 from 2018-08-28)
55
* reboot the board using the RESET button or by re-plugging the USB connector
56
* you should see a banner containing the version information:

h3. trace
65 1 tsaitgaist
66 12 tsaitgaist
The trace application firmware allow to sniff the communication between a phone and a SIM card (or any card reader and smart-card).
67
It is intended for the [[Wiki#SIMtrace v2|SIMtrace v2 hardware]] and its function is analog to the "SIMtrace v1":/projects/simtrace/wiki/SIMtrace_Firmware.
68 10 tsaitgaist
69 12 tsaitgaist
The sniffing is completely passive. It uses the RST, ATR, PPS (baud rate tested with F/D up to 512/32), and WT (waiting timeout) to properly parse the ISO 7816-3 TPDUs.
70
Currently only the T=0 protocol is supported since this is the most common protocol used (we haven't seen T=1 in use).

The application firmware to be flashed using [[Flashing#DFU|DFU]] is "simtrace-trace-dfu.bin":http://ftp.osmocom.org/binaries/simtrace2/firmware/simtrace-trace-dfu.bin.

h3. card emulation
77
78 25 tsaitgaist
The card emulation application firmware allows to emulate a card (e.g SIM). This is useful if you don't want to change the card in the device (e.g. phone), or have the card in a remote location.
79 24 tsaitgaist
80
This firmware comes preflashed on the sysmoQMOD board.
81 1 tsaitgaist
It also exists from the SIMtrace v2 board, but is currently in beta. If you still would like to try it, read this [[Cardem|article]].
82 25 tsaitgaist
83
*Do not use the @simtrace-cardem-dfu.bin@ firmware from the [[Wiki#Firmware|firmware repository]] since this currently does not include the fixes from the beta firmware.*

h3. Accessing it
117
118
Add udev rules so to be able to use SIMtrace 2 devices and access the device as non-root user:
119
<pre>
120
# add current user to plugdev group (user needs to re-login for this change to take effect)
121
sudo adduser $USERNAME plugdev
122
# grant access permission to SIMtrace 2 for plugdev group
123 19 emvivre
sudo wget -O /etc/udev/rules.d/99-simtrace2.rules https://git.osmocom.org/simtrace2/plain/host/99-simtrace2.rules 
124 13 tsaitgaist
# reload udev rules

h3. Applications
130
131
h4. simtrace2-list
132
133
@simtrace2-list@ allows to list all SIMtrace 2 compatible devices:
134
<pre>
135
./simtrace2-list
136
USB matches: 1
137
	1d50:60e3 Addr=4, Path=2-2.3, Cfg=1, Intf=0, Alt=0: 255/1/0 (SIMtrace Sniffer)
138
</pre>
139
140
This is useful when you have multiple devices (such as with the [[Wiki#sysmoQMOD]]) and have to specific with device to use by the other applications.
141
142
h4. simtrace2-sniff
143
144
This will use the [[Wiki#trace|trace]] firmware and retrieve the sniffed phone-SIM communication.
145
The activity will be shown on the consol output:
