Hi all, does anyone knows where to find or has some schematics of an IMSI catcher (it's a thing that pretends to be a gsm basestation and with it you can listen to gsm calls in a range of 100~150 m
I know Rhode & Schwarz makes such a thing (the GA 900) but it costs 200.000$ (pretty expensive for amature use isn't it Sad

So if anybody can help, give me a shout (or just yell :wink:

Hi, i dont know where you would be able to find designs for one of those. I looked into them a few years ago, but the only models i could find were big bucks, and only sold to law enforcement.

If you have any luck finding this please let me know, it would make an interesting project Smile

I think you will have to design this
yourself. It's doable, in probably 6 months
or so. It has been done before for the
older systems like CTEL and NMT.
