Development Status

This is the current Development Status of our Android IMSI-Catcher Detector.

• ⚠️ Development Roadmap with ALPHA, BETA and GOLDEN stage.

---

Already accomplished

Views (short explentation of the main views):

• Information about Device, Network and SIM-Card
• Cell Information: Shows relevant variables using public AOS API calls (LAC, CID, Signal Strength)
• Database Viewer: Shows data collected by the phone and data from public database of Cell Towers
• Map-Viewer: Shows Cell-Towers from the public database that are in your area

Functions:

• Cell-Monitoring: collecting information about the cell towers you are/were connected to and save it in the local database
• Cell-Tracking: Tracks your position while you are connected to the cell-tower and save it with cell data in the local database
• Download data from public cell-tower database (right now only from OpenCellID)
• Position Tracking: Using the GPS-Sensor and Google Location Service

Detection:

• Changing LAC: Check if the LAC of a Cell-ID is changing (more details)

Working on right now

• Check Cell-ID’s collected by the phone agains public Cell-Tower Database
• Neighbouring Cell Info: https://github.com/SecUpwN/Android-IMSI-Catcher-Detector/issues/100
• AT-Command Injector: Send AT-Commands to the Baseband Processor (more details)
• Detection of Silent-SMS: https://github.com/SecUpwN/Android-IMSI-Catcher-Detector/issues/69
• Specifications of code modularization (for development clarity)
• Restructuring of DB to allow for more Network variables (for development clarity)

Prepared working packages (ready to be picked up)

• Detection of changing Signal Strength: Besides implementation, this needs lot’s of reasearch and testing, if this is a possible way for detection and how it works on different phones (meassurement of signal strength) (more details)
• Switch from Google Location Servic (Google Play Service) to another API
• Implement the use of other public Cell-Tower Databases API‘s
