"make it work properly" is a bit vague. In these cases could you describe what your environment is (OS, simtrace version, phone, ...), what commands you are running, what +output you are getting, and what you expected to have. Some APDUs appearing on the screen is already a good result. Actually it's the main purpose of SIMtrace. > Then I wanted to log them by using HTerm, to parse it and try to obtain the meaning of the APDUs. But the device is not recognized +by the linux machine.

I also tried to recognize the device using a windows machine, but it does not recognize it as there is not a +simtrace driver for windows. SIMtrace does not use the USB virtual serial port profile. You have to talk to it using libusb directly. I think someone managed to compile and run it under windows, but using cygwin. Most of the users run it under linux. > Reached this point, my questions are the following ones; is there any way of logging de APDUS from the simtrace program? you can directly use the text output of simtrace. but the better way would be to use the network GSMTAP output provided by simtrace more details are available in the mailing list archive AFAIR there is a wireshark plugin to decode the SIM commands. the APDU are well specified in ETSI TS 102.221. no, because SIMtrace does not provide a serial port if you are looking for an example application, someone wrote a script that uses the GSMTAP interface to get the terminal profile out +of the traffic: https://terminal-profile.osmocom.org/ it should be on the web page. but before contacting him, be sure to have understood this email and are familiar with the cited specification. you're welcome
