gerrit load
by Neels Hofmeyr 29 Dec '17

29 Dec '17

I noticed that gerrit places constant load on the server. When I first checked, it was between 30 and 60% CPU load, now is more like 10-15%, but still it is constant load. I'm pretty sure we're not all clicking around in gerrit all the time, so what would it be: Gerrit does things in the background, like checking whether unmerged patches have merge conflicts to the current master. I'm not perfectly sure how often this happens, but my guess is that it happens a lot. We have around 150 open patches on gerrit. If not for sanity, maybe the CPU load on the gerrit server could be another reason to reduce that number. Related: I notice that the sync of gerrit's git repositories takes longer than it used to. It would be a minute max, while just now I got >10min, and I remember Pau noting something similar recently. I think we should plain abandon patches that have been idling around for more than 3 months. That would discard about 30, so not that many. Then we have quite a number that are currently in Merge Conflict... Seems that we don't get around looking at each one and deciding to kick it or keep it. ~N

Use osmocombb and openbsc to do man-in-the-middle attacks
by 西电__张皓 25 Dec '17

25 Dec '17

Hello, I would like to use openbsc to do a fake base station and osmocombb to do an attack cell phone, to implement a man-in-the-middle attack. I have two questions: 1. How do I send location updates and authentication information between openbsc and osmocombb, 2. How to modify the code thank you very much

Branch cleanup in osmo-mgw.git
by Harald Welte 25 Dec '17

Dear all, I'm seeing plenty of branches which I believe were forgotten to clean up: gerrit/lynxis/pre_release gerrit/neels/client_vty gerrit/neels/new_mgw gerrit/neels/osmo-mgw gerrit/neels/pending gerrit/neels/pmaier/mgw2 gerrit/neels/pmaier_mgw gerrit/neels/pmaier_mgw6 gerrit/neels/split gerrit/neels/wip gerrit/pmaier/aoip2 gerrit/pmaier/mgw gerrit/pmaier/mgw2 gerrit/pmaier/mgw3 gerrit/pmaier/mgw4 gerrit/pmaier/mgw5 gerrit/pmaier/mgw6 gerrit/pre_release I would appreciate if the respective authors could have a look and remove them if the respective branch is confirmed to be no longer needed. Thanks!

Jenkins integration of OsmoBSC TTCN-3 test suite
by Harald Welte 20 Dec '17

20 Dec '17

Dear all, the last couple of weeks I've been spending a lot of time creating an OsmoBSC test suite. A lot of this was infrastructure work, as e.g. there was no RSL implementation available yet for TTCN-3. The code can be found at http://git.osmocom.org/osmo-ttcn3-hacks/tree/bsc there's a README.txt file included with more details (and further test ideas). I've also found some time for the docker + jenkins integration, whose results can now be seen at http://git.osmocom.org/osmo-ttcn3-hacks/tree/bsc (click on 'expand all' to see details). During the writing of the test suite I discovered a quite large number of bugs in OsmoBSC and some of its dependencies, see the list below. I'll stop working on the test coverage for now and focus on other areas of testing first (as well as fixing some of the now-known bugs). Any help is greatly appreciated.

Getting started with Osmocom and LimeNet Mini ?
by Andrew Frazer 20 Dec '17

20 Dec '17

I recently saw this video / post in which Osmocom had be used to create a GSM Base Station with a LimeSDR mini and a Raspberry PI. https://www.crowdsupply.com/lime-micro/limesdr-mini/updates/gsm-base-statio… I was very interested in this, because I need to be able to test cellular broadcast messages, and this seemed to provide a way to do this.. CB seems to be supported in Osmocom. I am a bit overwhelmed about what I need to install, to get a minimal, but functioning ‘system’ running, so I can test some features.. I ordered a LimeSDR and it hopefully will arrive sometime after the new year But I wanted to get a jump start on it now. Is there some instructions in the wiki, I just did’tn know which ones to follow. Kind Regards

not storing undesired MS
by robert 18 Dec '17

18 Dec '17

Hi, I want to setup a BTS where only a few subscribers (about 10) are allowed to connect but I do not want any other IMSI/IMEI to be stored in the DB as I have noticed that when the number of subscribers in the database reaches a few thousands the network starts to crash more frequently. Is there an option to prevent all undesired subscribers from being stored in the DB or should I modify the code. best regards, Robert

osmo-ttcn3-hacks move to gerrit; build testing
by Harald Welte 15 Dec '17

15 Dec '17

Hi! As some other developers are starting to work with (and on) the test suites in the osmo-ttcn3-hacks repository, I migrated it to gerrit today for future code / patch reviews. I also worked on building the codebase without having to rely on some out-of-tree clones of upstream titan repositories. Rather, the makefiles now ensure that all dependencies are cloned + linked from within the osmo-ttcn3-hacks repository. I also added jenkins build testing, i.e. we will not get any future patches into the repository which would break TTCN-3 compiletion. So far, it validates only on Debian9 with TITAN 6.1.0. As I've already seen a lot of code that compiles on 9.3.0 (my developent system) but not on 6.1.0, we will likely add build validation for 6.3.0 soon. The first patch that has succesfully passed compilation is at https://gerrit.osmocom.org/#/c/5302/6 Please note that right now we only test the TTCN3->C++ compilation, and not the compilation of the resulting C++ code for performance reasons. It would be easy to add if we're willing to wait for the compile time, but I think it's not really needed. I so far have not yet managed to make ttcn3_compiler generate any C++ which would then later not pass the g++ compilation - at least not on a clean build environment.

auth algo XOR
by Neels Hofmeyr 14 Dec '17

14 Dec '17

enum osmo_auth_algo features OSMO_AUTH_ALG_XOR, but now that I'm trying to use it, I notice that we have no code actually implementing OSMO_AUTH_ALG_XOR. We have xor as algorithm exposed as a VTY option in the osmo-hlr DB, but when I choose it, I must notice that libosmocore doesn't osmo_auth_register() any xor implementation. Another detail is that I happen to remember that XOR is set as algorithm on the SIM cards we have in the osmo-gsm-tester, at least in the RnD unit. How should we deal with it? Implement xor, or remove it from osmo-hlr? Or am I missing something? ~N
