**%{background:yellow}WARNING: this project only applies to the first generation SIMtrace hardware, which uses the Atmel AT91SAM7S micro-controller. This project is not supported anymore. The hardware and software are still working, but won't get updates. This project is now replaced by project:simtrace2, which uses the SAM3S replacement micro-controller.%**

Osmocom SIMtrace is a software and hardware system for passively tracing SIM-ME communication between the SIM card and the mobile phone.

It looks a bit like this:

When connected to a phone, it looks like this:

It works by utilizing the T=0 capable USART of the USB-attached AT91SAM7 microcontroller.
27

The USART passively receives the bytes as they are exchanged on the ISO 7816-3 / TS 11.11 interface between SIM and phone. The received bytes are sent via USB to the PC, where a program called simtrace on the PC gathers data from the USB device, parses the APDUs and forwards them via GSMTAP to the wireshark protocol analyzer.

* Completely passive scanner

SIMtrace can be used to monitor the ME-SIM communication, but also emulate a phone or SIM, or be MitM.
41
While the hardware supports all these modes, only the monitoring aspect has been implemented in software.

h2. TODO
44 1 laforge
45 53 gnutoo
SIMtrace is a community project, and help is more than welcome.
46 1 laforge
47 54 gnutoo
Some tasks do and require no knowledge of electronics or SIM cards protocols, and only require very basic C programming skills:
48
* Use libusb hot-plugging API to keep the program running across SIMrtace disconnects
49
50 55 gnutoo
Some tasks do not require microcontroller programming skills:
51
* extending/completing the wireshark dissectors for the SIM protocol.
52
53 54 gnutoo
Here's some of the other things that could be improved:
54 41 tsaitgaist
* Check for parity errors
55 1 laforge
* Verify TCK / PCK check-bytes
56 54 gnutoo
* Implement MITM

h2. Hardware
59
60
The first implementations used an Olimex SAM7-P64 development board with some of the I/O lines hooked up to the mechanical SIM card adapters from [[RebelSIM_Scanner]]. If the [[RebelSIM]] scanner is used, connect the USB even if just the lines are used. It needs to be powered, else the real reader will often fail to initialize the card.
61
62 31 laforge
Now we have a dedicated PCB design.  The schematics and Gerber files are released as open source hardware and can be produced by everyone.
63 1 laforge
64
However, those of you who are not interested in building it from scratch can buy a complete factory-produced, tested and flashed PCB assembly from http://shop.sysmocom.de/products/simtrace
65 51 gnutoo

It could also be interfaced with full size SIM card "with a separate adapter":http://shop.sysmocom.de/products/fullsize-sim-fpc

h3. Using it
128
129
130
Simply start *simtrace*.
131 1 laforge
It will send the GSMTAP frames to UDP/IPv4 localhost:4729.
132
133
It will also print hexdumps of the frames to the console, looking like this:

h2. Wireshark integration

159 41 tsaitgaist

There is an experimental patch, also part of the simtrace.git package.  It is also included in the [[wireshark]] developer version (since wireshark 1.7.1).
161
162 34 tsaitgaist
To see the APDUs in wireshark:
163 41 tsaitgaist
* on localhost SIMtrace automatically opens a UDP sink locally, no need to do any anything
164
* to get the data on another machine
165
** start an UDP sink for GSMTAP on the other machine (do not use netcat as it "connects" back)
166
<pre>
167 37 tsaitgaist
socat -u udp-recv:4729 /dev/null
168 41 tsaitgaist
</code></pre>
169
** tell SIMtrace on which machine to forward
170
<pre>
171 1 laforge
./simtrace -i 192.168.0.1

* "simlabTrace":https://github.com/kamwar/simlabTrace/wiki seem to be capable of MITM and also seem to have a CCID driver to use SIMtrace as a card reader.
