It is possible to turn Calypso based phone into a small BTS. The transceiver application and corresponding firmware should be used in OpenBTS or OsmoBTS setup. See CalypsoBTS for details.

Open osmocom-bb/src/target/firmware/include/stdint.h
and modify it as shown below.
After making the modifications, run ./configure and then make .
Specifically, set up an ARM cross-compilation environment, compile libosmocore
and libosmo-dsp
, and then build OpenBTS.
Simply put, a fake base station uses a black market device to simulate the signal of a nearby base station. By hijacking information such as the IMEI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity), criminals can then launch a series of attacks using the phone’s IMEI.
Enabling BTS to support Chinese messaging
Refer to Axelle Apvrille’s paper “OpenBTS for Dummies”
OpenBTS does not support sending Chinese characters by default. Forcing it to do so will result in garbled text.
If you want OpenBTS to send Chinese, you must modify the source code yourself, open the file /OpenBTS/CLI/CLI.cpp
, add
https://github.com/fairwaves/openbts-2.8/commit/faf14b0e9ad4673b64d28e2038bdab90d69fcefb
1 | /** Submit an SMS for delivery to an IMSI. */ |
and
1 | addCommand("sendsmspdu", sendsmspdu, "IMSI src# PDU message... -- send PDU SMS to IMSI, addressed from source number src#."); |
Then just write a simple pdu script, you can refer to python-smspdu
for modification
This sends an SMS to IMSI 208304424439206, from 24567, with text ”Test”.
Finally, it is also possible to have phone send SMS to each other:
- Register the phone. This step must be done if you get this error in smqueue logs (and the corresponding
SMS on your phone):
How to Defend
- If you notice your phone is being throttled, immediately turn off your mobile network. If the network shows OpenBTS or GSM (G network), change your environment and reconnect to a nearby base station.
- Enable 2FA
