Project: In early prototyping a IMSI-Catcher Detector.
Why another IMSI-Catcher Detector?
Mainly trying to address the problems with the current open source solutions which is that they are tied to phones, the phones must be rooted. Given that there is no such thing as a secure phone something that runs on other devices using software defined radio would be better, it is also unreasonable to expect everyone that would like the provided security to be comfortable rooting their phone. It would also be of use to organizations to prevent corporate espionage too as it could operate as a centralized security device.
Technologies have been carefully chosen so that it is as portable as possible. Currently it runs across Linux, Mac, and Windows and everything should be portable to Android also in the future.
Also it is completely absurd companies charge $40,000+ for a small embedded computer with a SDR, I built a touchscreen ARM tablet for the prototype for about $200, even with a amazing SDR it would have only been about $700.
- rtb 10y agoSounds interesting. Do you have a website or blog where I can look for updates?
- Datenstrom 10y agoIt isn't presentable yet but the project is open on GitLab if you want to watch it. No website yet but it is planned once the prototype is completely functional. We plan on having having it functional within two months then to clean it up before deciding if we are going to move forward with it. * Project GitLab: https://gitlab.com/finding-ray https://gitlab.com/finding-ray * Documentation: http://finding-ray.gitlab.io/antikythera/index.html http://finding-ray.gitlab.io/antikythera/index.html It includes some support projects like dockerizing of GNU Radio for use with the application, which is a beast to install.
