QCSuper is a Python CLI tool that communicates with Qualcomm-based phones and modems via the Diag (QCDM) protocol to capture raw 2G/3G/4G (and some 5G) radio frames. It generates PCAP captures viewable in Wireshark using a rooted Android phone over ADB, a USB modem dongle, or existing captures in other formats.

Use cases

  • capture raw 2G/3G/4G radio frames from a Qualcomm phone
  • generate PCAP files of mobile network air traffic for Wireshark analysis
  • sniff LTE signaling messages from a rooted Android device over ADB
  • capture GSM/UMTS frames using a USB mobile broadband dongle
  • convert existing baseband captures into PCAP format
  • analyze mobile baseband protocol traffic for security research

When to choose

  • you need to capture raw cellular radio frames from a Qualcomm-based device
  • you want PCAP output compatible with Wireshark for telecom protocol analysis
  • you have a rooted Android phone or a diag-capable USB modem
  • you are doing mobile network security research or protocol analysis

When to avoid

  • your device uses a non-Qualcomm chipset (e.g., MediaTek)
  • you cannot root your phone or expose a diag port
  • you need a passive over-the-air sniffer rather than device-based capture
  • you need a polished GUI tool rather than a command-line utility
