This meeting will have the following schedule:

20:15 presentation: pySim-shell - the next generation of pySim
21:00 USSE: unstructured supplementary social event [*]
22:00 close of call
Presentation Abstract:
For more than a decade, pySim-prog has been the tool to
configure/program SIM cards in research/lab/private cellular
networks. Originally designed for very simplistic GSM-only SIM
Cards, it was extended again and again to cover more use cases
and parameters. There is a limit as to how far one can go with
stuffing everything into command line arguments.
In 2021, pySim-shell was created as the next generation tool. It
features interactive navigation around the file system, editing
capabilities, backup and restore of all [known] files, ...
Attendance is free of charge and open to anyone with an interest
in Osmocom.

Dear Osmocom community,
pySim-prog was nice when there were only 5 parameters on a SIM that we
could program, and where the use case was pretty limited. Today, we
have SIM/USIM/ISIM cards with hundreds of files and even more parameters
to program. We cannot add a command line argument for each file to
pySim-prog.
Instead, this introduces an interactive command-line shell / REPL,
in which one can navigate the file system of the card, read and update
files both in raw format and in decoded/parsed format.
The idea is primarily inspired by Henryk Ploetz' venerable
cyberflex-shell, but implemented on a more modern basis using
the cmd2 python module.
You can see the very first prototype in the laforge/shell branch of pysim.git
You can do things with it like this:
===> Start-up and authenticate with adm pin
----------------------------------------------------------------------
$ ./pysim-shell.py -p 0
Using PC/SC reader interface
Autodetected card type: sysmoISIM-SJA2
AIDs on card: ['a0000000871002ffffffff8907090000', 'a0000000871004ffffffff8907090000']
Welcome to pySim-shell!
pySIM-shell (3f00)> verify_adm 92990895
----------------------------------------------------------------------
===> interactive help
----------------------------------------------------------------------
pySIM-shell (3f00)> help
Documented commands (use 'help -v' for verbose/'help <topic>' for details):
ISO7816 Commands
================
read_binary select_adf select_file update_binary update_record verify_chv
pySim Commands
==============
intro verify_adm
USIM Commands
=============
read_ehplmn ust_service_activate ust_service_deactivate
pySim-shell built-in commands
=============================
alias help macro quit run_script shell
edit history py run_pyscript set shortcuts
----------------------------------------------------------------------
===> more interactive help
----------------------------------------------------------------------
pySIM-shell (3f00)> help read_binary
usage: read_binary [-h] [--file-id FILE_ID] [--offset OFFSET] [--length LENGTH] [--record-nr RECORD_NR]
Read binary data from a transparent EF
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--file-id FILE_ID File ID
--offset OFFSET Byte offset for start of read
--length LENGTH Number of bytes to read
--record-nr RECORD_NR
Number of record to read
----------------------------------------------------------------------
===> navigating the FS and reading files
----------------------------------------------------------------------
pySIM-shell (3f00)> select_file 7f20
['622c8202782183027f20a509800171830400018d088a01058b032f0601c60f90017083010183018183010a83010b']
pySIM-shell (3f00/7f20)> read_binary --file-id 6f07
089910070000400310
----------------------------------------------------------------------
===> interaction with local filesystem, i.e. I/O redirect + shell commands
----------------------------------------------------------------------
pySIM-shell (3f00)> select_adf a0000000871002
pySIM-shell (a0000000871002)> select_file 5f3b
pySIM-shell (a0000000871002/5f3b)> read_binary --file-id 4f20 > /tmp/f
pySIM-shell (a0000000871002/5f3b)> !cat /tmp/f
ffffffffffffffff07
----------------------------------------------------------------------
===> piping output through shell tools like grep
----------------------------------------------------------------------
pySIM-shell (3f00)> read_ust | grep 86
Service 86 - Allowed CSG Lists and corresponding indications
----------------------------------------------------------------------
===> enabling/disabling services
----------------------------------------------------------------------
pySIM-shell (3f00/7f20)> ust_service_activate 123
pySIM-shell (3f00/7f20)> ust_service_deactivate 123
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It's a very first prototype, but it is really promising.
The major tasks I see to make this go anywhere is:
* have "File" class with encoder/decoder methods, which are registered
automatically with a 'file system' layer that knows about the DF/ADF
hierarchy
** this allows us to have a "read-decoded" command, which will
call the decode method of the file, automatically resolved by the
selected FID/path
* automatic mapping of file-name -> FID and FID -> file name
** when printing (like in the path), use the human-readable names
** allow users to use human-readable names in SELECT
* decode + display the TLVs / FCPs after a SELECT (like cyberflex-shell
* ability to enable/disable APDU trace
* dynamically register/deregster commands based on the path, i.e. offer
USIM commands only when in ADF_USIM
We have quite a bit of that infrastructure in the c-language libosmosim,
(part of libosmocore.git), but unfortunately not in python :/
Let me know if anyone is interested in joining this effort.
Regards,
Harald
