Abstract: In the nearly 28 years since GSM was deployed, but still its meeting at various security problems have been found both in the protocols and in the original secret. Thither are 3.5 billion subscribers, GSM remains as the de facto standard for cellular communications. Only the security has still weak like at the start of the historic periods. The standard is no longer sufficient to guarantee the protection and concealment of the users. Furthermore fourth generation (4G) cellular technologies have been deployed these networks could never achieve strong security guarantees because the most of the still have using GSM subscribers. This report evaluates the claims and practical possibilities when it adds up to eavesdropping on GSM using relatively cheap hardware and open source software. This paper is extensive experiments with the USRP (Universal Software Radio Peripheral) and software tasks for this hardware.
