These are the **detection test results** for our [Detection List](https://github.com/SecUpwN/Android-IMSI-Catcher-Detector/issues/230) created with an [OsmocomBB phone](http://bb.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/Hardware/Phones).

* `ID:2` - OsmocomBB BTS 'clones' an actual BTS with variable consistency and a legit BTS
* `ID:4` - OsmocomBB BTS doesn't allow TMSI allocation (red flag to tell if one is camped into a fake BTS)
* `ID:5` - OsmocomBB BTS allows choice of ciphering without droping/changing but doesn't allow A5/3 (not supported yet)
* `ID:6` - OsmocomBB BTS allows cipher downgrade
* `ID:7` - OsmocomBB BTS (tested with one BTS hence detectable as no neighbouring BTS are noted)
* `ID:18` - OsmocomBB BTS possible use of a jammer otherwise on its own OsmocomBB BTS cannot downgrade cell phone at will

On the above image: you can visibly see the that no neighboring cells are found as our BTS at the time of testing did not have this facilitated

* OsmocomBB BTS 'clones' an actual BTS hence the consistency is variable with a legit BTS ID:2.
* OsmocomBB BTS doesnt allow TMSI allocation this is a red flag that can be used to tell if one is camped to a fake BTS ID:4.
* OsmocomBB BTS allows choice of ciphering without droping/changing but doesnt allow A5/3 as its not supported yet on the current OpenBTS used in this test ID:5.
* OsmocomBB BTS allows cypher downgrade ID:6.
* OsmocomBB BTS (tested with one BTS hence detectable as no neighbouring BTS are noted ID:7.
* OsmocomBB BTS (see ID:3).
* OsmocomBB BTS possible use of a jammer otherwise on its own OsmocomBB BTS cannot downgrade cell phone at will ID:18.
