This work is built upon the efforts made by many people to gather knowledge of GSM. 
56
57
First very significant effort of public research into GSM and its security vulnerabilities was The Hacker's Choice GSM SCANNER PROJECT. One of the results of this project was creation of a software GSM receiver by *Tvoid* - *gsm-tvoid* - which was  was the most important predecessor of *gr-gsm* and of *gsm-receiver* from the *Airprobe* project.

*Gr-gsm* wouldn't be also possible without help and inspiration by Harald Welte, Dieter Spaar and Sylvain Munaut.
