Attack Patterns CAPEC-617 — Cellular Rogue Base Station
CAPEC-617

Cellular Rogue Base Station

TLP:CLEAR

Description

Typical severity: Low. In this attack scenario, the attacker imitates a cellular base station with their own "rogue" base station equipment. Since cellular devices connect to whatever station has the strongest signal, the attacker can easily convince a targeted cellular device (e.g. the retransmission device) to talk to the rogue base station.

Mitigation

Passively monitor cellular network connection for real-time threat detection and logging for manual review.
