Do the cell site simulators spoof existing towers? How hard would it be to write an app to detect when you connect to another tower and shut the phone down. Unless Google and Apple don't let you programmatically shut down the phone.
- 2_listerine_pls 10y agoStingray's inner workings are supposedly not disclosed but it is said to mimic a nearby cell tower. I bet the device just echoes & amplifies the signal to trick your phone to connect. If that's how it works, then If you know what each tower relative strength from that given position must be and you note a new surge in strength, that will tell you. You could also use triangulation with cooperating devices.
- notatoad 10y agoNote that cell providers will install perfectly legitimate temporary towers to handle increased demand, so simply looking for a surge in signal strength over "normal" levels doesn't necessarily indicate surveillance.
