Security experts of Reddit: In this paper it is claimed that, for $1400, a device can be constructed that intercepts cellular data. Is this still the case?

  • IMSI-catcher

    This program show you IMSI numbers of cellphones around you.

    • Also, IMSI (actually, a randomised version (TMSI)) is sent in the clear over the air - see https://github.com/Oros42/IMSI-catcher https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobility_management#TMSI. IMEI should be encrypted as far as I remember. But that's not very useful to intercept anyway as it's just an indicator of the phone (and can be altered)
