Basebands are generally terrible black boxes. Even for new devices, they're a major security concern.

Agreed.

Does anyone know anything about the GSMK Cryptophone 500? It's appears to be a modified Galaxy S3 with a heavily custom ROM and can double as an IMSI catcher. I wonder. Did they RE the baseband or replace it with their own?

Interesting.

I seem to remember there being relatively complete access to the S3 baseband at one point. Not sure I'd use it as a daily driver though. The S3 had big problems with the eMMC suddenly dying.

Heh maybe.

I am aware of the eMMC issues. Not to mention a phone from those days is slower then current phones, although I don't know much that matters with the custom ROM they use.
