No output by simple_IMSI-catcher.py

[zoltan85000]

Dear
despite my efforts to find myself alone, a solution, I am compelled to parasitize here.
I'm using two terminals: Terminal 1 to find one frequency (by grgsm-scanner) and after select one of these; I'm using grgsm-livemon to send GSMTAP data format by UDP server. Terminal 2: to read UDP packet of terminal 1 by simpleIMSYCatcher.py .
Here an example:

Terminal 1:

VirtualBox:~$ grgsm_scanner -v -g 40

And I Have no output; May be I am wrong somewhere ?
WireShark work well.
Could you help me to find my mistake ?
Philippe,

Dear,
ok all is allright; no problem, it's perfect.
Thanks you for all.
Best regards.

For helping other users, could you post what you done to solve it ?

[zoltan85000]

Dear Oros42,
of course with plaisure. I'm founding this URL: https://www.reddit.com/r/RTLSDR/comments/721ro3/having_troubles_with_imsicatcher_warning_long_post/

So I'm just add --args rtl with command grgsm_livemon ; for example:
grgsm_livemon --args rtl -f xxx.xxx.xxxM -g 40

In return; I'm looking for how to scan more than one frequency (4 BTS for example) to send to simple_IMSI-catcher.py; do you have any idea ? Inside file scan-and-livemon: I can see may be a solution, but I don't really understanding.

"""
Script to scan for base stations and start submitt GSM packages on one
or more the frequencies found using grgsm_livemon_headless to the
loopback network device
The idea is to gather GSM packages from as many of the GSM base
stations and phones in the area as possible, by spreading across as
many operators as possible.
"""

Could you help me ?
Best regards for all.

I have no Output from IMSI-catcher and grgsm_scanner, too.
But grgsm_livemon works with my Hackrf.
Is it possible that there is a conflict with Gnuradio8? Because it works fine under Gnuradio7...
I installed gr-gsm and gnuradio with pybombs.
Thanks in advance!

I am looking for some solution regarding the script "./simple_IMSI-catcher.py" as I can add other ports so that I can collect data from several ports at the same time. Maybe someone will suggest something?

Thank you in advance for your answer.
