Emulating Samsung's Baseband for Security Testing

This course aims to teach learners how to emulate Samsung's "Shannon" baseband for security testing. The learning outcomes include understanding the importance of baseband processors in mobile phones, exploring the vulnerabilities in basebands, and utilizing the ShannonEE emulation environment for vulnerability research. Individual skills taught in the course include leveraging the avatar2 & PANDA frameworks, debugging basebands, reverse engineering, fuzzing techniques, and GSM session management. The teaching method involves a presentation format covering topics such as the Samsung baseband, baseband emulation, debugging methods, reverse engineering, and future research directions. The intended audience for this course includes security researchers, vulnerability analysts, mobile device developers, and individuals interested in understanding and testing the security of baseband processors in mobile phones.
