Hi Silke,
Good to see you here on the list! :)
I am also quite new here, because although I worked once on some core network stuff some
years ago I just signed up for this list yesterday.
I think, as far as I remember the only virtual UE implementation I saw came from
EURECOM/openAirInterface.
Maybe that is something worth checking out.
Otherwise a fake UE can be implemented even in Python with the help of libmich/pycrate I
think.
I am still new in thr area of available open-source core networks. I know that a very
lightweight and compact package is offeted by srsEPC - although it probably does not have
the S8 interface you require. I need to have a closer look at nextEPC to see how exactly
it looks like, so I won’t talk about that now.
Wish you good luck!
Cheers,
Domi

Hi,
I’m part of security research and we are mainly interested in the core network part and
not on the UE part.
What we want to do is have a PGW which has some the EPC “machinery” behind to get a TEID
and have MME, HSS, SGW initialized and some not real UEs i.e. the fake UEs would sit in or
next to the eNB.
In the end we are interested in plugging this EPC next to a real one with a real S8
connection.
We do not need real internet connection for the “fake UE” and user plane is also not that
important for us.
So how can we get a “fake UE” into the eNB, so that is makes all the protocol runs for
data communication set-up.
Any hints?
Greetings silke
