On: Android IMSI-Catcher Detector

It isn't an Android only thing, all devices will be found and you would not know.

However, rooting and interfacing with underlying hardware is significantly harder on other platforms.

Very true, its just that it isn't something an app will save you from. The mobile tech is the key.

It would be interesting to test this out

There are agreements in place

Do you have a source for that? Basically, IMSI catching does not require any cooperation with telcos. On the other hand, it is easy to imagine that some telcos might betray their customers – especially under the cover of secrecy.

There are sources available that can be found with some digging. I'm just speaking on the stuff that relates to the work I do.

Yes, not without permission

So the question is do they have it?

[tmosleyIII → ps4fanboy]

Yes,they do.

Its not just about detecting a tower, they spit out a friends list for your phone to know the different zones in the area. That list changes.

That is just an IMSI catcher, the real answer is "Possibly, but not likely"

It's not just an IMSI catcher, it's an IMSI catcher catcher - see e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWdHSJsEOck

It is very possible to get the traffic for CDMA devices and those devices grab GSM and CDMA alike. The issues are dealing with the newer tech.

I work in the corrections industry and need a device that is the polar opposite.

You can probably take a look at some AT commands to see what all is possible: http://www.etsi.org/deliver/etsi_gts/07/0707/05.00.00_60/gsm...

As far as how easy, you just need the right hardware and software.
