• Cellphone Spoofing

  I would start with ss7 and IMSI catcher in particular. There is also a project on git hub that might give some more insights. There are a bunch of tutorials on how to set it all up on YouTube. But it all basic. I think Juilliard have to dive into the protocols themselves. Though maybe I don’t know something.

• Car / House Burglaries: Can Ubiquiti network trace trespassers / thieves within AP network range?

  But people are playing around with such things for educational purposes. Might be easier for some law enforcement officer to pull IMSI logs from the relevant time from providers... IANAL and don't know anything about US law.

• RTLSDR or HackRF one - for scanning 2g 3g LTE

  This project goes a decent job at passively observing 2G: https://github.com/Oros42/IMSI-catcher An RTL2832U dongle is enough to get started.

• Security experts of Reddit: In this paper it is claimed that, for $1400, a device can be constructed that intercepts cellular data. Is this still the case?

  Also, IMSI (actually, a randomised version (TMSI)) is sent in the clear over the air - see https://github.com/Oros42/IMSI-catcher https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobility_management#TMSI. IMEI should be encrypted as far as I remember. But that's not very useful to intercept anyway as it's just an indicator of the phone (and can be altered)

• Decoding GSM traffic
