But as a matter of fact the GSM standard itself has security vulnerabilities. So are we gonna demonstrate this? For example do you plan to show that false Basestation attacks are possible within a 1000 Euro cost range or something like that? I think we must be careful with such things and everybody should be aware of the fact that openbsc could be abused for criminal purpose. I see this project as a chance to sensitize the general public of GSM security problems and send a message towards industry. Johannes
