At Defcon, hackers get their own private cell network: Ninja Tel
- patrickod 14y ago27C3, CCC Camp 2011, and 28C3 all had their own GSM networks as well. http://events.ccc.de/congress/2011/wiki/GSM#GSM_Network_at_28C3 http://events.ccc.de/congress/2011/wiki/GSM#GSM_Network_at_2... It was really interesting talking to the crew running it and discovering how GSM works. Hopefully they'll be back this year at 29C3
- sp332 14y agoWow, I saw 27C3's little experiment but I didn't realize 28C3 had a network connected to the public phone infrastructure.
- patrickod 14y agoYep. For those like myself who didn't have a german SIM for the week it was very useful.
- tonfa 14y agoAlso HAR and I believe Burning Man had GSM networks too.
- bsho 14y agoBurning Man's GSM network used the GNU Radio project: http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki The Suggested Reading section gives a really good starting point to DSP, electronics (including Radio and RF design), and Programming (C++ and Python). It's been a great help to hobbyists like me.
- Pent 14y agoThe only thing I could think of when I read that article is; how long until Coca-Cola sends a C&D against them for likeness of Ninja-Cola? Very interesting otherwise.
- joshmlewis 14y agoUnless their logo is like cokes, there are plenty of beverages that are called such and such cola. I might be wrong, but I don't think just cola is a big deal to them.
- stox 14y agoH.O.P.E. had its own GSM network, too. All it took to use was getting one of the customer SIM cards.
