    Abstract: The patent application is directed to a method for detecting a rogue device in a network including the step of providing an algorithm including predetermined criteria, executed by a processor, for identifying the rogue device. The method also includes a step of performing a cellular scan across the network. The method also includes a step of receiving, from the cellular scan, survey data including information of plural devices associated with the predetermined criteria. The method further includes a step of displaying, via a graphical user, a distribution curve including a calculated mean and a standard deviation based on the survey data for the predetermined criteria. The method also includes a step of comparing the information of one of the plural devices with statistically-calculated distribution curves. The method further includes a step of determining the compared information of the one device exceeds a predetermined threshold of standard deviations from a calculated mean and calculating a confidence level that the one device is a rogue device. The application is also directed to a system for testing and determining if a cellular attack on a communication system is active.

    Abstract: One aspect of the patent application is directed to a method for detecting a rogue device in a network. The method includes a step of performing a cellular scan across the network. The method also includes a step of receiving, from the cellular scan, survey data including system information blocks (SIBs) associated with plural devices. The method also includes a step of decoding the SIBS of the devices. The method further includes a step of comparing the decoded SIBs with the predetermined criteria. The method even further includes a step of determining a threshold of the predetermined criteria has been met by the decoded SIBs associated with one of the plural devices. Yet even further, the method includes a step of calculating a confidence level based upon the met threshold of the one device. Lastly, the method includes a step of determining, based on the confidence level, the one device exhibits characteristics of the rogue device.

    Abstract: This application is directed to a method for detecting a rogue device in a network. The method includes a step of surveying the network. The method also includes a step of collecting broadcast data from cellular towers in the network based on the survey. The method also includes a step of distilling the collected broadcast data into abstract syntax notation one (ASN.1)-encoded system information blocks (SIBs) associated with plural devices. The method further includes a step of featurizing the ASN.1-encoded SIBs. The method even further includes a step of running the featurized, ASN.1-encoded SIBs through an unsupervised machine learning algorithm. The algorithm is executed by a processor to analyze all cells in the survey for the rogue device. Yet even further, the method includes a step of determining, based on the run, anomalous cells exhibiting characteristics of the rogue device from all cells in the survey.
