It reminds my good days programming simcards, i was the founded of a startup in Brazil that made a good use of simcard programming to store two numbers in the same simcard, around 2010 it's a cool and profitable, the thing is that i managed to insert a local imsi and an a north american imsi registered in the same card so everyone that travel abroad could be free of expensive roaming charges, them we sold the company and now days they are a reseller for some major carrier in US =)
- geocar 12y agoCan you go into more details? I travel a lot and use a hacked up Chinese phone since it supports dual SIM pretty well but I'd rather use an iPhone. Unfortunately I want both my US and UK numbers and contacts slightly more.
- rasz_pl 12y agoin 2010??? v2/v3 sims were already popular in 2008, and its impossible to clone those (extract ki and imsi) unless sims in brazil were that outdated/insecure at the time
- abritishguy 12y agoIt's not impossible, large carriers are still using DES to sign the OTA updates. Using rainbow tables you can crack the key and install an app which can break out of the sandbox and read the ki and IMSI.
- rasz_pl 12y agoThat flaw was discovered in 2013.
- abritishguy 12y agoAnd is still applicable today...
