Beginner: Need guidence in setting up the simtracer 2
Hello all, I have newly ordered the Simtracer 2. I have received the same today. I would like to have some guidence from you, how to proceed now. Should I load a firmware on the module?, which software should I use? how to track the message exchanges from the sim to mobile. There are several manuals, could u please tell which one to read? Could you please guide me on the same. Best regards, M.Sc.

Hi Sunil, I recently wrote a quick few internal notes for my colleagues to use Simtrace2+Wireshark on Ubuntu 18.04 I'll share with you in the case it helps.

Hi J. Felix and Sunil, I'm wondering: Are you actually intending to do development on the SIMtrace2 software, or do you just want to use it? If you just want to use it, why not simply use the osmocom packages provided for Ubuntu 18.04 at http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/network:/osmocom:/nightly/xUbuntu_... as explained at https://osmocom.org/projects/cellular-infrastructure/wiki/Nightly_Builds Building from source should generally only be done by developers who want to contribute to development/extension of the software. And for those, I would sort-of expect that they know how to do system-level C development on Linux, including auto-tools, pkg-config, etc. Regards, Harald -- - Harald Welte <laforge@gnumonks.org> http://laforge.gnumonks.org/ ============================================================================ "Privacy in residential applications is a desirable marketing option."

Hello, I would like to just use the simtracer 2. Could you please provide me detailed steps to sniff the traffic. Should I download all the files? Would the command simtrace2-sniff work on the go.

Helli, I also tried the compiling and accessing instructions as described in https://osmocom.org/projects/simtrace2/wiki, but I am facing following issues there too. 1) I am unable to download the packages libosmocore-dev libpcsclite-dev. Err:1 http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/network:/osmocom:/nightly/xUbuntu_... ./ libosmocore12 1.1.0.12.1850 404 Not Found [IP: 195.135.221.134 80] 2) I am not able to compile. make does'nt run. 3) Un able to detect the simtracer2 with ./simtrace2-list Could any one please guide and help me to set this up.

Dear Sunil, with all due respect, the questions you are asking here are very basic questions about software installation (and to some extend compilation) on a GNU/Linux operating system. They are not related at all to the SIMtrace project. You would have the exact same issues with installing virtually any other software either from package feeds or from source code on GNU/Linux. It is rather unlikely that people here will spend their spare time for free in helping you with those issues, sorry. Thanks for your understanding. Having said that, if somebody reading this wants to help you, by all means. I just think it's unlikely.

you seem to have executed one of apt update/apt-get update on one day and now attempt to install on another day. As this is a nightly package.. the version will change all day... and by the time you tried to download it, it failed. Execute apt update/apt install in closer proximity (or you were unlucky to download it within a possible broken window).
