Personally, I think a passive GSM attack would be more useful. Has that been accomplished yet? I saw a scholarly article on it but I haven't seen any articles/tutorials on cell hacks except the GSM attacks that require you to transmit. From: Ronald F. Guilmette Sent: ‎Thursday‎, ‎June‎

I don't think this is an accident; when we run the tests on our CIs, we want both the regular output and the XML output. You're right that this behaviour can be annoying, however, I found if this is giving me trouble, it's usually because my test is stateful. Maybe you can come up with a way to

Among SDRs, there is no universal "model" for things like total gain, acceptable baseband magnitudes, etc. Even if there were, expected variations in analog behavior mean that you usually have to tweak things to make it work across multiple hardware. That's just an attribute of the analog world
