hi
I am new to the list, I am a phd student in the area of verification of security protocol, so not exactly a hacker or tech guru. Anyway, I am interested in using the OpenBSC to analyze GSM protocol messages. I don't want to decode them or do anything fancy, I am mainly interested in what it is sent in clear. Is it possible to use the OpenBSC architecture to capture GSM messages and later analyze them using wireshark? I know this is possible using the USRP, but I would like to use OpenBSC. Anyway is there any particular reason why you are not supporting the USRP?
Thanks

No. You can only capture messages on the Abis interface between your own BTS and BSC, but not sniff stuff off the air. That's what you can do with Airprobe and OsmocomBB.
