IMSI catchers are transceivers. They are not hard to find, they are easily triangulated: they literally broadcast their location. Honestly, denying their usage is remarkably pointless.
If you want a location, then I suggest: grab a spectrum analyser; head to Knightsbridge; tell me what happens when you get close to Hans Crescent; then look on the corner and guess why.
And, don't take your phone. Obviously.
- dogshoes 11y agoI'm curious, but not in London. All I could see on Google Street View, which is likely old, is a standard cell site on the A4 in that area. https://www.google.com/maps/@51.499897,-0.163137,3a,49y,276.26h,126.63t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sF_Y8Dd9elLdFrCH-eyALcg!2e0 https://www.google.com/maps/@51.499897,-0.163137,3a,49y,276.... Would you happen to have a picture of the install they have in that area?
- grkvlt 11y agoI believe he's referring to the Ecuadorian Embassy located on that street, where Mr Assange is located presently. There are obvious reasons (WikiLeaks) for keeping track surreptitiously of those visiting him.
- indeed30 11y agoI wasn't trying to deny their usage, in fact I have no problem believing these things are out there. I'm just trying to understand the data log that was posted. I work for a company with a huge dataset of cell tower observations, and so I was interested in locations that I could investigate. I'll try your suggestion and see if I can find anything suspicious.
