Why Rogue Base Stations Are a Security Threat
Once a phone connects to a rogue base station, the potential for security breaches escalates dramatically. This article delves into why rogue base stations are a security threat
Exposing and Addressing Fake Base Station Vulnerabilities in 5G
This study investigates the vulnerabilities of 5G networks exploited by FBSs, which hijack communications by mimicking legitimate base stations and compromising user equipment (UE).
False Base Station or IMSI Catcher: What You
The wireless transceiver broadcasts radio signals to impersonate legitimate base stations. The laptop connects to the transceiver (e.g., via an USB interface) and controls what to broadcast as well as the
Switzerland and South Korea Investigate Suspected Fake Base
This week has seen credible reports from authorities in both Switzerland and South Korea that believe fake base stations are being used to facilitate fraud for the first time
Rogue Base Station Detection Techniques
In some instances, law enforcement may deploy base stations to capture criminals. These devices can be whitelisted so that the UE does not flag them as rogue base stations.
Fake Base Station Detection and Link Routing
We designed and built a defense scheme which detects and blacklists a fake base station and then, informed by the detection, avoids it through link routing for connectivity availability.
Fake Base Stations – Telecom’s Open Front Door for Hackers
Fake base stations, or IMSI catchers, are increasingly used by state and criminal actors to spy, disrupt, or impersonate mobile users. This blog explores how they work, who
Gotta Detect 'Em All: Fake Base Station and Multi-Step
