Welcome to the AIMSICD wiki!

Please use the sidebar on the right to navigate through this WIKI.

The Android-IMSI-Catcher-Detector (short: AIMSICD) is an Android open-source based project to detect and avoid fake base stations (IMSI-Catchers) or other base-stations (mobile antennas) with poor/no encryption. Our project aims to warn you if the ciphering is turned off on your phone, if you've been tracked via Silent/Stealth SMS and also enable several protection-mechanisms. Since our App is under constant development, we always search for testers and security-enthusiastic developers. Don't be shy, feel free to contribute in any way you can! Even the smallest pull requests are very much appreciated.

Some attacks IMSI-Catchers are capable of:

• Espionage on Norwegian Politicians
• NSA-Killings with IMSI-Catcher drones
• How easy it is to clone phones
• DEF CON 18 - Practical Cellphone Spying
• 28c3: Defending mobile phones
• Stingrays: Biggest Technological Threat
• GSOC reveals hidden IMSI-Catcher
• Secret U.S. Spy Program on Planes
