FASCIA

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.

FASCIA format

The FASCIA format 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.

Where is the name coming from?

The name FASCIA comes after the NSA program which collects device-location information.
