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:

It works by utilizing the T=0 capable USART of the USB-attached AT91SAM7 microcontroller.
26
27 1 laforge
The USART passively receives the bytes as they are exchanged on the ISO 7816-3 / TS 11.11 interface between SIM and phone.
28
The received bytes are sent via USB to the PC, where a program called {{{simtrace}}} on the PC gathers data from the USB device,
29
parses the APDUs and forwards them via [wiki:GSMTAP] to the [wiki:wireshark] protocol analyzer.

== Hardware ==
44 17 laforge
45 1 laforge
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 [wiki: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.

47 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.
48
49
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

== Firmware ==
54
55 28 laforge
The firmware for the AT91SAM7S device was written by reusing a lot of the code for the [http://www.openpcd.org/ OpenPCD]
56
RFID reader.  Details are available at [wiki:SIMtrace/Firmware].

The {{{simtrace}}} program is part of the git://git.osmocom.org/simtrace.git repository. It will bind to the USB device
62 5 laforge
and send GSMTAP frames using UDP/IPv4 to localhost:4729.

64 14 tsaitgaist
=== Preconditions ===
65 1 laforge
66 14 tsaitgaist
[wiki:libosmocore] and headers (simtrace_usb.h) from the firmware.
67
68
additional packages :

=== Compiling it ===
74
75 1 laforge
{{{
76 14 tsaitgaist
git clone git://git.osmocom.org/simtrace.git
77 21 tsaitgaist

79
}}}
80
81 35 tsaitgaist
=== Accessing it ===
82
83
Add udev rules so to be able to use simtrace and access the device as non-root user (only need to be in the osmocom group)
84
85
{{{
86
sudo groupadd osmocom
87
sudo adduser $USERNAME osmocom
88
sudo tee /etc/udev/rules.d/10-osmocom.rules << EOF
89
# to use, install this file in /etc/udev/rules.d as 10-osmocom.rules
90
# rule to grant read/write access on SIMtrace to group named osmocom.

you must log out and back in so to take effect.
97
98 6 tsaitgaist
=== Using it ===
99
100
Simply start '''simtrace'''.
101 13 tsaitgaist
It will send the GSMTAP frames to UDP/IPv4 localhost:4729.

103
It will also print hexdumps of the frames to the console, looking like this:

== Wireshark integration ==

There is an experimental patch, also part of the simtrace.git package.  It is also included in the [wiki:wireshark] developer version (since wireshark 1.7.1).
130
131
To see the APDUs in wireshark:
132
 * start an UDP sink for GSMTAP
133 36 tsaitgaist
  * for netcat openbsd
134
{{{
135
nc -ul 4729 > /dev/null
136
}}}
137
  * for netcat traditionnal
138 34 tsaitgaist
{{{
139
nc -u -l -p 4729 > /dev/null
140
}}}
141
 * tell SIMtrace to forward the traffic
142
{{{
143
./simtrace -i 127.0.0.1
