Modular 10-Tier Metapackage Architecture

System & PackagingPre-configured

Overview & Purpose

TelcoChisel distributes its 100 telecom security tools through a modular 11-tier Debian metapackage architecture hosted on the Cloudflare Pages global edge network (`meta.telcosec.net`). Security teams can deploy lightweight, domain-specific toolchains — such as SDR, 5G Core, SIM smartcards, mobile modems, or wireline transport — onto any standard Ubuntu 24.04 system without installing the complete operating system image.

Verification Command

Run the following to confirm this configuration is active on your system:

Modular 10-Tier Metapackage Architecture — Verification
apt-cache search telcochisel-

Configuration Details & Steps

TelcoChisel applies these settings automatically at ISO build time. The following steps document each configuration item:

  1. 1
    Query all available TelcoChisel modular metapackages: apt-cache search telcochisel-
  2. 2
    Inspect package dependencies for the 5G Core assessment suite: apt-cache depends telcochisel-5g
  3. 3
    Inspect package dependencies for the wireline broadband toolchain: apt-cache depends telcochisel-pstn-adsl
  4. 4
    Verify official TelcoSec APT repository configuration and GPG key: cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/telcochisel.list

Troubleshooting

Common Issues
If `apt-get update` reports an unsigned repository error for `meta.telcosec.net`, re-import the official TelcoSec GPG signing key: `curl -fsSL https://meta.telcosec.net/telcosec.gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/telcosec.gpg`.

Frequently Asked Questions

What metapackages are available in the repository?

The repository provides 11 modular tiers: telcochisel-core, telcochisel-sdr, telcochisel-2g-3g, telcochisel-4g, telcochisel-5g, telcochisel-sim, telcochisel-mobile-ue, telcochisel-signaling, telcochisel-wireline, telcochisel-voip, and telcochisel-full.

Can I install TelcoChisel metapackages on an existing Ubuntu server?

Yes. Any Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (Noble Numbat) system can add the `meta.telcosec.net` APT source and install individual metapackages to equip the system for specialized telecom testing.

How is package integrity guaranteed?

All Debian packages and release manifests in the repository are cryptographically signed using the official TelcoSec GPG key via automated CI/CD build pipelines.
