Bootkit via SMS: 4G Access Level Security Assessment

Telecom operators constantly advertise the fastest, the cheapest and the best. Before diving into the internet with these new gadgets we decided to test how these ads correspond to reality… To our reality.

Having developed a test set, we started to research how safe it is for clients to use 4G networks of the telecommunication companies. We tested SIM-cards, 4G USB modems, radio components, IP access networks and more looking for vulnerabilities that could be exploited remotely, via IP or radio network.
