FASCIA is an open source software to collect, aggregate and store IMSI and related information such as MCC, MNC, LAC and CellID (or other meta-information).
The goal is to gather information from (IMSI catchers or passive interception from mobile networks (such as GSM-R, GSM480, GSM850 GSM900, DCS1800, PCS1900))
in a standard format, then aggregate the information into the FASCIA database and to provide an easy interface to lookup IMSI and the associated meta-information.
The [FASCIA format](./doc/format.md) is a simple JSON format to exchange information from mobile network monitoring devices (such as IMSI catchers, passive analysis tools) into
a common simple format and to be processed by FASCIA.
