https://stream.echo6.co/videos/watch/966f556b-9d72-433d-9c3f-ffad7910869e Spoiler alert! There's lots of terminal screens to stare at. The next DragonOS Focal release (R5) will have three different tools to create GSM networks. I've went back and fixed the Osmo-MGW with the seperated Osmo GSM stack referred to as "Osmocom CNI". There's of course the Osmo-NITB still included in DragonOS and most likely the easiest and fastest way to setup a basestation, but there's some benefits of the newer Osmo GSM stack so I wanted to make sure it was working properly. Due to the fact there's two different versions of Osmo installed, it's not possible for me to configure both versions w/ asterisk. I ended up choosing to use the Osmo-sip-connector that worked with the Osmo-NITB scripts as I thought that offered the most value. The third GSM tool is YATE and YATEBTS. It'll be preinstalled in DragonOS Focal along with Apache2 and the necessary php to run the web interface. You'll have to manually start Apache2 before you can access the web interface at localhost/nipc. YATE will only work reliably with certain models of the BladeRF. I hear the x40 and xA9 work well. I have the xA4 and I'm lucky if I can connect to the basestation once in the past one hundred attempts or so I've made. No changes to the srsLTE-Sniffer. Still included. It's supposed to catch IMSIs using pdsch_ue and parse paging requests into imsi.pcap while IMSI's are filtered into imsi.csv. FALCON will be included in the next DragonOS Focal release (R5). This tool decodes the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) of a base station and reveals the number of currently active devices.
