New tools for (U)SIM authentication
by Harald Welte 07 Dec '11

07 Dec '11

Hi! I've committed the following bits and pieces regarding authentication: 1) libosmocore now has a generic core for authentication algorithm implementations. Using this API, even external plugins can register algorithms which are not available in libosmocore itself. libosmocore includes COMP128v1 and (now) MILENAGE 2) a small command-line program "osmo-auc-gen", which can be used to generate authentication vectors from the command line. You hav to specify all the required parameters. For GSM, this is only ki, but for 3G, you also have to specify at least OPC and SQN. osmo-auc-gen is part of libosmocore.git 3) a small pythong script called "osmo-sim-auth.py", available from a new git repository (http://cgit.osmocom.org/cgit/osmo-sim-auth, git://git.osmocom.org/osmo-sim-auth) It is the counterpart for the MS side. It can execute authentication on both SIM and USIM. I've tested the tools with a COMP128v1 SIM and a MILENAGE USIM, it seems to be working fine.

RFC for VTY documentation
by Holger Hans Peter Freyther 06 Dec '11

06 Dec '11

Hi, my goal is to generate documentation for the VTY, I had a look at quagga but they have a manual process. Right now I have pushed zecke/vty-doc (code + xsd) to libosmocore and a hack to osmo-bsc to invoke it... My plan is to to merge the doc with xslt... and generate some html out of it... For generation I can imagine a new VTY command to dump it to a file or a cli option... comments? feedback? volunteers to make it work and take it from here? holger

Slightly OT: NanoBTS / OpenBSC question
by Tobias Engel 06 Dec '11

06 Dec '11

Hi, does anybody know when the exact moment in a call is, when the NanoBTS starts forwarding audio from a MS to OpenBSC? Is it always when the "Create Connection" RSL message is sent and the TCP connection was established? (Assuming the channel was set up as traffic channel) Or could it be that the BTS waits for the "Connect" message from the MS? I started thinking about that when I saw that the NanoBTS _never_ sets the "transparent to the BTS" bit in the first byte of RSL messages... Regards, -Tobias

GPRS/RLC in Wireshark?
by David A. Burgess 05 Dec '11

05 Dec '11

Hello - [My apologies if this message has appeared more than once; I accidentally mailed it previously from the wrong address.] Is there any easy way to analyze Um GPRS/RLC, encapsulated in GSMTAP at the L1/L2 boundary, in Wireshark? I tried just putting the frames coming into L1 into GSMTAP packets, but Wireshark tries to analyze them as LAPDm. There was nothing obvious in the GSMTAP_TYPE_* values to correspond to Um GPRS/RLC, though I admit that I have not tried other values yet. -- David

Hi! Thinking a bit more about timing, it seems that the second half of March is a good idea. April is a bad idea, at least for the first two weeks, as this is easter holiday time in a lot of German states. This will cause lots of tourists, as well as full hotels, trains, flights, etc. So I'd propose something like four days in the second half of march. Should we try to overlap/extend a weekend? I guess this would help people with e regular dayjob, as not as many holidays would be required. If there are no objections in the next 48 hours, I will talk to C-Base about availability during that timeframe.

Time in MM Info [patch]
by Gus Bourg 01 Dec '11

01 Dec '11

Attached is a patch to support sending time to the device. It adds two per-bts configuration elements: tzunits and tzdir. tzunits are the number of units from GMT. Each unit represents 15 minutes of time. tzdir is the direction of the units from GMT. tzdir 0 means GMT-tzunits and tzdir 1 means GMT+tzunits. So for example, if you're GMT+1 you want: bts 0 type nanobts band PCS1900 cell_identity 0 location_area_code 1 training_sequence_code 7 base_station_id_code 63 tzunits 4 tzdir 1 ms max power 15 cell reselection hysteresis 4 Thanks, Gus

RFC: Generic (U)SIM software
by Harald Welte 29 Nov '11

29 Nov '11

Hi all, I'm thinking of starting a project that would allow us to * perform SIM and USIM card pre-personalization * read/dump and explore [U]SIM contents interactively * perform SIM card simulation The idea is to start with some generic data structure that can represent the filesystem tree (DFs, EFs) and their "external" properties, i.e. file type, size, permissions, FID, SFID, etc. This data structure could also have the actual file content associated with each EF. The second step would be some code that can take that data structure and program a freely-programmable card (like sysmoSIM-GR1) and create the files according to that structure. Another module would implement card-simulation (via BT SAP, SIMtrace or virtual PC/SC card). After all, only a few instructions have to be imilpemented if the filesystem and its content is already in a generic data structure that the program can access.. Next step would be to associate parser and generator routines for the content of each individual file as it is specified in TS 11.11. After that has been done, we could think of representing the FS tree and the parsed contents of each file in some kind of graphical / user friendly representation. The idea here is that the UI code would be generic and not know any of the actual ecnoding/decoding of the EF content. The biggest question is what language to use for this. Some kind of object orientation might very well resemble the idea of a 'file object' in a tree, with many different file types, each having it's own parser/encoder. On the other hand, Erlang's bit field syntax would probably come very handy in terms of encoding/decoding the various EF content. However, at least once we start to want some kidn of UI, Erlan really sucsk. Also, almost nobody here reads/writes Erlang [yet?]. Writing all this in C seems like a bit much of an effort, probably even more so on the UI side. However, we already have quite a bit of C code for parsing/generating things like LAI, etc. which are stored like 04.08 inside the sim card files. Python might be a good idea in terms of tons of available libraries/modules, object orientation and good UI bindings. The biggest problem here is that my python skills are really limited so far, so my productivity might not be as high as I expect. The individual components could even be written in different languages, but then we would have to have some common format for exchanging data back and forth - which might not be worth it, given the small scope of the project. any ideas / comments / feedback? -- - Harald Welte <laforge(a)gnumonks.org> http://laforge.gnumonks.org/ ============================================================================ "Privacy in residential applications is a desirable marketing option."
