This project details how to build a Smart/SIM card reader/writer for experimentation and investigation of SIM & Smart cards.Once the reader design is built, the open source software can be used to read from and write to the card. Together they can be used to backup/restore stored SIM card data, recover deleted SMS's and phone contacts, examine the last phone numbers dialed, etc.

The project hardware is based on Dejan's nifty SIM reader design for Sim Scan, with a few modifications. The software is a fork of Todd Whiteman's pySim.
