They tested against a live network. Pretty ballsy of the carriers who allowed it! A tip of my hat to them!
(They did it with carrier permission though, before you run off to replicate their findings)
- ccnafr 8y agoFrom my read, the research was carried out inside a test network provided by the telcos that agreed to help.
- dmitrygr 8y agoI re-read section III.D and I think that either interpretation (yours or mine) could be derived from it. It is not clear.
- yongdaek 8y agoBoth are correct. If dangerous, we tested only inside testbed. If not, we tested on the real network. All tests were permitted by two telcos.
- dmitrygr 8y agoAwesome!
- kbumsik 8y agoYeah KAIST is the top national research center and university in Korea. Korean tech companies always want to work with them.
- borumpilot 8y agoQ1. Is dynamic testing of a commercial network allowed to researchers? Probably not. Researchers should comply with any special legal requirements in their jurisdictions. Fortunately, for the purpose of inspecting and validating the vulnerabilities, two MNOs gave us a permission to conduct dynamic security testing on their testbed.
