CAPEC-618: Cellular Broadcast Message Request
CAPEC版本: 3.9
更新日期: 2023-01-24
攻击模式描述
In this attack scenario, the attacker uses knowledge of the target’s mobile phone number (i.e., the number associated with the SIM used in the retransmission device) to cause the cellular network to send broadcast messages to alert the mobile device. Since the network knows which cell tower the target’s mobile device is attached to, the broadcast messages are only sent in the Location Area Code (LAC) where the target is currently located. By triggering the cellular broadcast message and then listening for the presence or absence of that message, an attacker could verify that the target is in (or not in) a given location.
前提条件
- The attacker must have knowledge of the target’s mobile phone number.
