Cell Phone Data Acquisition and Examination Overview • • • • Cellular telephone network background Cell Phone Analysis Tools Case study: Acquiring data from a cell phone References and Information Resources © 2006, Gary C. Kessler 1 1 Cellular Telephone Network Background © 2006, Gary C. Kessler 2 Cellular and Landline Networks Source: http://www.privateline.com/Cellbasics/Cellbasics.html © 2006, Gary C. Kessler 3 2 Frequency Reuse and Cells • A cell site is the tower (mast) with antenna • A cell is the area covered by the radio signals from the tower • The available spectrum is divided into seven subsets so that a set of seven cells are using different frequencies » Frequencies are then re-used without interference © 2006, Gary C. Kessler 4 Arrangement of Cells 2 7 2 7 2 7 3 1 6 6 7 2 7 3 1 6 3 1 6 4 4 5 4 5 2 5 6 1 4 3 1 3 4 • Each hexagon represents a cell (with a tower) • Total available frequency is divided into seven for maximum radio frequency reuse and minimum interference • Each cell with the same number is using the same set of frequencies 5 5 © 2006, Gary C. Kessler 5 3 The Antenna • The cell site mast generally has three "faces" -- each with several frequency agile, directional antennae » Each face covers approximately 120° of the cell » Each face uses a different subset of that cell's assigned frequencies • Antenna tower is at the center of the cell © 2006, Gary C. Kessler 6 Types of Cell Phone Systems (1) • Advanced Mobile Phone Service (AMPS) » Analog using FDMA » U.S./Canada-only, should be gone by 2008 • IS-136 » Digital cell network in U.S./Canada using TDMA » Can also operate in AMPS mode • IS-95 » Digital cell network in U.S./Canada using CDMA » Can also operate in AMPS mode © 2006, Gary C. Kessler 7 4 Types of Cell Phone Systems (2) • Global System for Mobile communication (GSM) » Digital cell phone network using TDMA » Used worldwide (originally Groupe Spécial Mobile) » U.S./Canada GSM phones are not compatible with international systems • Cingular Wireless, T-Mobile USA, et al. • Integrated Digital Enhanced Network (iDEN) » Proprietary Motorola system, used internationally • Sprint Nextel (U.S. and other countries), TELUS (Canada), et al. » Employs TDMA for two-way voice and walkie-talkie modes • Note: Bolded abbreviations above represent the common (although sometimes technically incorrect) usage! © 2006, Gary C. Kessler 8 Definitions... • Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA) » Each call is on a different frequency • Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) » Multiple calls are each assigned time on a shared frequency • Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) » Calls are assigned a code and hop through the given set of frequencies (spread spectrum) © 2006, Gary C. Kessler 9 5 Cell Phone Radio Frequencies • U.S./Canada uses 800 MHz and 1900 MHz bands; rest of world uses 900 MHz and 1800 MHz Network Type Uplink (Base Station Rcv.) Downlink (Base Station Xmt.) AMPS 824-849 MHz 869-894 MHz TDMA (IS-136) 824-849 MHz 869-894 MHz CDMA 800 (IS-95) 824-849 MHz 869-894 MHz CDMA 1900 (IS-95) 1850-1910 MHz 1930-1990 MHz iDEN 806-821 MHz 851-866 MHz GSM 800 824-849 MHz 869-894 MHz GSM 900 890-915 MHz 935-960 MHz GSM 1800 1710-1785 MHz 1805-1880 MHz GSM 1900 1850-1910 MHz 1930-1990 MHz © 2006, Gary C. Kessler 10 Cell Phone Channels • Different channels for control (e.g., cell tower hand-off, or signaling between tower and phone), messaging, and forward and reverse communication paths # Chan. per Carrier Total One-Way Bandwidth Carrier Bandwidth AMPS 25 MHz 30 kHz 1 832 TDMA (IS-136) 25 MHz 30 kHz 3 2496 CDMA (IS-95) 25 MHz 1250 kHz 85 1700 Network Type Total # Channels iDEN 15 MHz 25 kHz 3 1800 GSM 25 MHz 200 kHz 8 1000 © 2006, Gary C. Kessler 11 6 Numbers: ESN & MIN • Electronic Serial Number (ESN) » » » » » Unique 32-bit code identifying the telephone Burned in by manufacturer Usually printed on label in hex and/or decimal Sent by phone to carrier whenever call is made Not used in GSM phones • Mobile Identification Number (MIN) » Cell phone number » Non-GSM © 2006, Gary C. Kessler 12 Numbers: MEID • Mobile Equipment Identification (MEID) » 32-bit ESNs have been used since mid-1980s and continued to be used for backwardcompatibility » Exhaustion of ESN space expected by 2007 » MEID is 56-bit serial number, intended to replace ESN (non-GSM) • Somewhat problematic since no carrier yet supports MEIDs.... © 2006, Gary C. Kessler 13 7 Numbers: IMEI (1) • International Mobile Equipment Identity » Unique 15-digit number to identify GSM handset; generally on label on back of phone • Basis of an LE request for "handset history" » Old format (phones manufactured before 1 April 2004): aabbbbb-cc-dddddd-e • Type Approval Code (TAC): aabbbb – (aa = country code) • Final Assembly Code (FAC): cc – Device manufacturer (e.g., Nokia = 10 or 20; Motorola = 07 or 40) • Device Serial Number (SNR): dddddd • Check digit: e – Usually set to 0 © 2006, Gary C. Kessler 14 Numbers: IMEI (2) • IMEI (cont.) » New format (phones manufactured since 1 April 2004): xxxxxxxx-dddddd-e • Type Allocation Code (TAC): xxxxxxxx • Device Serial Number (SNR): dddddd • Check digit: e – Set to 0 in GSM Phase 1 phones • IMEI is stored in Equipment Identity Register » Can usually be displayed by dialing *#06# © 2006, Gary C. Kessler 15 8 IMSI • International Mobile Subscriber Identity » Unique 15-digit code that identifies individual user of a GSM network • Mobile Country Code (MCC) - 3 digits • Mobile Network Code (MNC) - 2 digits (3 in U.S./Canada) • Mobile Subscriber Identity Number (MSIN) - 10 digits (9 in U.S./Canada) » Examples (MCC-MNC): • • • • Australia, Telstra MobileNet: 505-01 Israel, Orange: 425-01 U.S., Cingular: 310-150 U.S., Nextel: 316-010 © 2006, Gary C. Kessler 16 PINs and PUKs • Personal Identity Number (PIN) » 4-8 digit code to secure phone from unauthorized use (PIN) or secure priority memory (PIN2) • If PIN/PIN2 is entered incorrectly three times, the phone is locked » Personal Unblocking Key (PUK) and PUK2 are used to unlock the PIN/PIN2 © 2006, Gary C. Kessler 17 9 Protocols • Short Message Service (SMS) used for text messages » Allows for short messages, up to 1120 bits • 160 7-bit characters, 140 8-bit characters, or 70 16-bit international characters • Some phones store some of the user's T9 word list • Enhanced Message Service (EMS) » Extension to SMS; allowed exchange of ringtones and simple graphics » Limited size attachments; required no infrastructure change • Multimedia Message Service (MMS) » Supports true audio, image, and video attachments » Designed for GSM and CDMA • Binary Runtime Environment for Wireless (BREW) » Qualcomm's application development platform for cell phones » Apps include e-mail, games, Internet radio, geographical positioning » Works with TDMA, CDMA, and GSM handsets © 2006, Gary C. Kessler 18 Types of Cellular Phones • Cell phone models are specific to signaling method and, in some cases, to carrier » Can support just about any combination of AMPS, TDMA, CDMA, and/or GSM • Multiband: Ability to operate on different frequencies • Multimode: Ability to employ different technologies © 2006, Gary C. Kessler 19 10 System Identification (SID) • Phones typically have a SID code burned in at service activation » 5-digit number assigned by FCC to identify carrier » One way for service to identify in-net calls from roamers » An unlock code is needed to allow the phone to be switched to a different carrier © 2006, Gary C. Kessler 20 Subscriber Identification Module • SIM gives a phone a unique identity » Has onboard microprocessor » Contains phone number, PIN(s), IMSI, text messages, handset identifier, and saved phone numbers • Found in GSM and Nextel/iDEN phones » Allows for portability between carriers and/or countries » GSM and iDEN phones are incompatible but the SIMs are interchangeable • Requires specialized reader • LE note: An individual might possess multiple SIMs for the purpose of having multiple telephone identities © 2006, Gary C. Kessler 21 11 Expansion Cards • Adds memory or features to a cell phone » Can store videos, photos, music, or data » Can store phone book, calendar, or memo • May be interchangeable between cell phone, PDA, MP3 player, digital camera, etc. » No standard interface ATP MMCmicro 512 MB memory card SanDisk miniSD 1.0 GB secure digital card Sony Memory Stick Duo 256 MB memory card and adapter © 2006, Gary C. Kessler 22 Call Setup (Simplified!) • When placing a call... » Phone sends MIN/phone number, ESN/IMEI, and called number » MTSO verifies MIN/ESN, connects to called party or forwards to PSTN, and assigns transmit/receive frequencies • When receiving a call » MTSO examines database to find phone's tower, connects to phone, and assigns frequency pair » Phone sees calling number © 2006, Gary C. Kessler 23 12 Cell Phone Billing Records • Call data from a cellular service provider for a given customer will include: » » » » » Date/time of call origination and termination Called and calling party Duration of call Type of call (inbound, outbound, VMS access) Originating and terminating tower • Usually in form of the name of the tower • Note that it is also possible to track a person in real time, tower to tower even if they are not on a call » This is due to the phone's normal communication with the towers • Tower data is not kept on the phone itself » Although it might be in the future, at least for the call period © 2006, Gary C. Kessler 24 Information Requests • Cellular telephone companies respond to the same 2703 preservation letters as other providers » Identify user by name and SSN • Think "Scott Peterson" » Try to limit the data/time range of the logs © 2006, Gary C. Kessler 25 13 Mapping Cell Towers • We can obtain (presumably) longitude and latitude information about the area's cell towers Latitude 44.25295N 44.41431N 44.50880N 44.27834N 44.55046N Longitude 72.58229W 73.03561W 73.18223W 73.21263W 72.82316W Name National Life (Montpelier) French Hill (Richmond) Watertower Hill (Colchester) Mt. Philo (Ferrisburg) Mt. Mansfield (Underhill) • Creating a map for LE purposes can aid in investigations » Need to work closely with carriers and cell tower owners for this info © 2006, Gary C.
