Hey all, Thought I would share our Open SIM Kit (http://opensimkit.com) project with the list. The project aims to be an open source SDK of sorts for hacking SIM cards. In practice, this allows users to modify the contents of SIM cards. The goals of the project:
- To offer a GUI for programing SIMs (instead of doing it from the command line in C++ and AT); - Storing/sharing information discreetly in scenarios where other communication might be monitored; - Modifying SIM cards to do things they currently cannot (special apps, work on ad-hock networks etc.); - Adding apps and other information that isn't provided by Mobile carriers; - Publishing content ways that can reach populations where other communications might be scarce and unreliable but mobile feature phones are not; - Making all this easy enough that non-technical people (Civil Groups, Activists, Journalists, NGOs etc.) can do it; - With the ultimate end goal of providing a completely decentralized means of communicating (instead of through mobile carriers). You can find the code on Github at http://github.com/abayima/opensimkit. We especially invite developers with expertise in machine programming, compression, and encryption.
