Description
Adversaries may use the radio access network to initiate attacks towards the UE or the mobile network.
Sub-techniques
Specific variations of this technique
MOT1477.301AS Signalling
2G
3G
4G: Demonstrated
Adversaries may modify or trigger control plane procedures on the radio interface control plane using Access Stratum (AS) signalling that occurs between the UE and the base station.
MOT1477.302NAS Signalling
2G
3G
4G: Demonstrated
Adversaries may modify or trigger Non-Access-Stratum (NAS) signalling related procedures that is generated from a false base station infrastructure.
MOT1477.303Radio Broadcast Channel
2G
3G
4G
The adversary leverages the radio broadcast System Information Block1 messages (SIB1) to advertise to the target UEs new cell configuration.
MOT1477.3045G NR Radio Interface
5G-SA: Theoretical
Adversaries may exploit vulnerabilities in the 5G New Radio (NR) interface to initiate attacks against UEs or the network.
