</div>In all reality, Asterisk could be substituted with any other platform.<br>
<br>
All the magic happens in the USRP, OpenBTS, and the cellular phones.<br>
Asterisk is merely handling the routing and voice, same as it ever<br>
was. It is just the top of the stack.<br>
<br>
I have two USRPs and a handful of daughter boards, and yes I have two<br>
flex 800s that have been physically altered so they can also be flex<br>
1800s with a simple command line. These are the boards you want for<br>
GSM (Cellular).<br>
<br>
There is also a project to be able to listen into phone calls (thanks<br>
to the French making encryption so weak) besides a ton of other<br>
applications that can be dreamed up.<br>
<br>
You can do passive radar, track people that have cell phones powered<br>
on, RFID (Free tolls anyone?), WiFi, heck, you can even kill people<br>
with certain types of pacemakers.<br>
<br>
While OpenBTS is cool and is on topic with Asterisk, read up on<br>
GNURadio and all the projects and applications you can come up with.<br>
It is really cool technology.<br>
<br>
Start here <a href="http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/show/gnuradio" target="_blank">http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/show/gnuradio</a> but you<br>
can easily find things like this<br>
<a href="http://tech.mit.edu/V128/N30/subway/Defcon_Presentation.pdf" target="_blank">http://tech.mit.edu/V128/N30/subway/Defcon_Presentation.pdf</a> or come up<br>
with your own with a bit of imagination and skillz.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
