wiki: SIMReader Was: Sim on C115 & C118

Indeed for registering to the network you'll need the ki, but for IMSI detach it's not necessary. I'm going to try again the sim test mode after getting testing branch. maybe this will solve layer1 crash.

After I start the layer2 in a few seconds layer1 crashes. What I am trying to achieve is to send a IMSI detach to the network for the specified IMSI. Maybe you could give me a hand with this.

This is often second question after getting SIM working, so I want to
share what I know. However, I'm not an expert, and most of this is
gathered from presentations and speaking with people who know more than
I do, so I wanted to bounce this against mailing list for additional
comments.

As far as I understand it, to connect to provider network, you need
provider's ki which is shared secret between network and sim card.

There are some practical attacks on older sim cards which are used by
multi-network sim cards. It seems there is limited number of brute-force
interations that cards support before disabling themself and that
changed somehow in recent cards.

Best SIM explanation I found so far is on 27C3 wiki about GSM network:
