  • LTE-Cell-Scanner

    OpenCL, SDR, TDD/FDD LTE cell scanner, full stack from A/D samples to SIB ASN1 messages decoded in PDSCH, (optimized for RTL-SDR HACKRF and BladeRF board)

    For those interested in a more accessible LTE metadata project check out https://github.com/JiaoXianjun/LTE-Cell-Scanner which can work with even cheap rtl-sdr dongles (for some things).

    >Real-time decoding LTE uplink-downlink control-data channels: PDCCH, PDSCH, PUSCH, LTE Advanced and LTE Advanced Pro, up to 256QAM in both uplink and downlink, DCI formats: 0, 1A, 1, 1B, 1C, 2, 2A, 2B, Transmission modes: 1, 2, 3, 4, FDD only, Maximum 20 MHz base station., Automatically detect maximum UL/DL modulation schemes of smartphones (64QAM/256QAM on DL and 16QAM/64QAM/256QAM on UL), Automatically detect physical layer configuration per UE. , LTE Security API: RNTI-TMSI mapping, IMSI collecting, UECapability Profiling.

  • LTE-Cell-Scanner

    LTE SDR cell scanner optimized to work with very low performance RF front ends (8bit A/D, 20dB noise figure) (by Evrytania)

    For those interested in a more accessible LTE meta-data decoder check out https://github.com/JiaoXianjun/LTE-Cell-Scanner which can work with even cheap rtl-sdr dongles (for some things). It is a fork of an older https://github.com/Evrytania/LTE-Cell-Scanner

  • zynq_timestamping

    Open source Zynq timestamping implementation from Software Radio Systems (SRS)

    It uses srsRAN which supports SoapySDR which is vendor agnostic.

    this should work with limesdr as well.

    for something cheaper, try antsdr or adalm-pluto: https://github.com/srsran/zynq_timestamping

    lots of good notes here: https://www.quantulum.co.uk/blog/private-lte-with-analog-ada...

  • srsRAN_4G

    Open source SDR 4G software suite from Software Radio Systems (SRS) https://docs.srsran.com/projects/4g

    I thought you were kidding me...

    here is the letter Q in PHICH:

    https://github.com/srsran/srsRAN_4G/blob/master/lib/src/phy/...

    as the sibling comment states, q is the reQuest

  • LTE_monitor_c2xx

    LTE monitor mode for Samsung C2xx-based USB dongles. Includes wireshark dissector and Linux kernel driver.

    Not easy to search for... I found 3G https://github.com/P1sec/LTE_monitor_c2xx

  • QCSuper

    QCSuper is a tool communicating with Qualcomm-based phones and modems, allowing to capture raw 2G/3G/4G radio frames, among other things.

    Think I was looking at this one

    https://github.com/P1sec/QCSuper

    I recall researching this and deciding zte mf823 is best bet cause 4g but haven’t actually tried it

    FALCON - Fast Analysis of LTE Control channels (by falkenber9)

    Most of the source files have copyright headers indicating that the code is AGPLv3 and forked from existing projects with top-level LICENSE files, https://github.com/falkenber9/falcon and https://github.com/srsran/srsRAN_Project

  • GSMDecryption

    A5/1 Decryption

    https://github.com/0xh4di/GSMDecryption?tab=readme-ov-file

    Now I wonder if later Gs have a bit of a decryption loophole for this reason or that, this state actor or that.
