socket.error: [Errno 98] Address already in use

[ericwang321]

hi

ubuntu 16.04 + hackrf [Firmware Version: 2017.02.1 (API:1.02)]

1. In 1st terminal run sudo QT_X11_NO_MITSHM=1 grgsm_livemon --h

2. In 2st terminal run: ~/IMSI-catcher$ _sudo python simple_IMSI-catcher.py_

   Nb IMSI ; TMSI-1 ; TMSI-2     ; IMSI   ; country  ; brand      ; operator ; MCC  ; MNC   ; LAC    ; CellId
   Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "simple_IMSI-catcher.py", line 595, in <module>
   udpserver(port=options.port, prn=find_imsi)
   File "simple_IMSI-catcher.py", line 544, in udpserver
   sock.bind(server_address)
   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/socket.py", line 228, in meth
   return getattr(self._sock,name)(*args)
   socket.error: [Errno 98] Address already in use

3. why tip " address already in use ",should I change imsi-catcher.py
   "udpdata, address = sock.recvfrom(4096) " ?

thanks

sudo python simple_IMSI-catcher.py -s

works

cannot find TSIM ,only imsi , why ?

how to find tsim relations to imsi ?

You can try this :

sudo python simple_IMSI-catcher.py -s -a

$ python simple_IMSI-catcher.py -h
Usage: simple_IMSI-catcher.py: [options]

Options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -a, --alltmsi         Show TMSI who haven't got IMSI (default  : false)
  -i IFACE, --iface=IFACE
                        Interface (default : lo)
  -m IMSI, --imsi=IMSI  IMSI to track (default : None, Example:
                        123456789101112 or "123 45 6789101112")
  -p PORT, --port=PORT  Port (default : 4729)
  -s, --sniff           sniff on interface instead of listening on port
                        (require root/suid access)
  -w SQLITE, --sqlite=SQLITE
                        Save observed IMSI values to specified SQLite file

it works. simple_IMSI-catcher.py can change port by -P paramter. I learn the gsm basic theory,know TMSI with IMSI in packet. thanks.
