Aladdin — Gsm

GSM Aladdin represents both a potent attack vector and a powerful auditing platform. While it highlights the inherent fragility of 2G authentication, its responsible use can accelerate migration to stronger protocols and improve operator visibility into rogue infrastructure. The "magic" of Aladdin is not the exploitation itself, but the ability to turn hidden, insecure signals into actionable security intelligence.
