SMDFbs: Specification-Based Misbehavior Detection for False Base
False base stations execute attacks in the Radio Access Network (RAN) of cellular systems, adversely affecting the network or its users. To address this challenge, we propose a behavior rule specification

Gotta Detect ''Em All: Fake Base Station and Multi-Step Attack
Fake base stations (FBSes) pose a significant security threat by impersonating legitimate base stations (BSes). Though efforts have been made to defeat this threat, up to this day, the presence of FBSes

The attacks aren''t alright: Large-Scale Simulation of Fake Base
For the first time, we systematically study fake base station attacks and their main influencing factors. We use a specification-conform simulation model that lets us analyze fake base

Real-Time Rogue Base Stations Detection System in Cellular Networks
To address RBS attacks, it is essential to create a RBS/FBS detection system. In this paper, we proposed three different approaches to detect RBS/FBS, including the user equipment

False Base Station or IMSI Catcher: What You Need to Know
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

Fake Base Station Detection and Link Routing Defense
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.
