CellAnalysis 2G Requirements

• Calypso Chipset Phones: required to have OsmocomBB properly installed, Cell Analysis use the binaries “cell_log” and “ccch_scan“.
• RTL-SDR: you need to have installed the driver, kalibrate-rtl, arfcncalc and airprobe properly installed. RTL Cell Analysis will use “gsm_receive_rtl.py” script by default.
• UHD USRP: you need to have properly installed the UHD driver, as well as kalibrate-uhd, arfcncalc and airprobe properly installed.
• Note to new airprobe users: this article may help you with the installation process (read the “Old Method using Airprobe”).

Aside these, the following packages are also required:

• bc calculator
• tshark
• arfcncalc

Apart from the above binary, also use any typical Unix / Linux installation as “awk” and “cut“.

CellAnalysis 2G Change Log

• Version 0.1.11
  Output format is changed, using JSON instead of CSV
  Two new hardware formats are added: “modem” and “rtlsdr-RPi”
  The static working mode is removed from the shell-script client.
• Version 0.1.10
  The code is modified to use as a temporary directory a path based on an environment variable instead of being static (/tmp).
  It improves part of code related to the search of cells using the hardware device SDR BladeRF as well as the monitoring of traffic when it is used as a second device.
• Version 0.1.9
  A new parameter is added that allows the execution of cellanalysis in an infinite loop, repeating the three phases of the cycle indefinitely until the user cancels the execution. This mode is activated by using the “-l” parameter.
  A new parameter is added to activate the static execution mode for fixed workstations (without any mobility) since in this case the cells that detect can be expected to always be the same with slight variations. By using the “-s” parameter, cellanalysis will store the information of the received cells in a file for each of them and each time it detects the same cell, it will compare that the characteristic values have not been modified.
• Version 0.1.8
  A new parameter is added that allows to use two devices simultaneously (parameter “-2”, indicating next the name of the second device). Until then the tasks carried out these phases sequentially using a single device, but in this version introduces a new possibility to execute in parallel and independently the first two phases.
  Using two devices, one is responsible for performing only the tasks of the first phase, while the second device will capture the second phase, independently with no waiting times between the two phases.
• Version 0.1.7
  The code is adapted to be compatible with BladeRF devices of the manufacturer Nuand (in this version a new executable file is not created for this new hardware).
  The 3 files in one are unified (“cell_analysis.sh”, “cell_analysis_uhd.sh” and “cell_analysis_rtl.sh” become only “cell_analysis.sh”).
  With the incorporation of this new Hardware, the architecture of the software is modified again.
  A help function is added, in case the user does not indicate the device will be warned of the correct use of the tool and parameters.
• Version 0.1.6
  The GPL license is modified by updating the copyright and including the contact details of the author of the code.
• Version 0.1.5
  Code is adapted to be compatible with Ettus USRP devices, through the UHD driver (USRP Hardware Driver)
  An executable file is added: “cell_analysis_uhd.sh”
  Again, the software architecture is modified to incorporate the dependencies of the new hardware.
• Version 0.1.4
  Detection of fake stations using RTL-SDR improved (number of subscribers calculation solved)
• Version 0.1.3
  Code is adapted to be compatible with RTL-SDR devices
  An executable file is added: “cell_analysis_rtl.sh”
  The software architecture is modified, since the drivers of each device are different, as well as the dependencies to search 2G / GSM cells and capture the traffic.
• Version 0.1.2
  Reorganization of the information displayed on screen.
  Improved detection of the cell channel.
• Version 0.1.1
  Fixed a problem of compatibility with certain branches of OsmocomBB available in GitHub in version 0.1
  Added the qualitative detection of the signaling.
  Tested ARM platform compatibility with RaspberryPi.
