AIMSICD is an open-source Android application that detects IMSI-Catchers (fake cell towers, also known as StingRays) which perform man-in-the-middle attacks on mobile phones. It analyzes tower information consistency, signal strength, silent SMS, and neighboring cell data to warn users of cellular interception.
Use cases
- detect fake cell towers spying on my phone
- find out if police stingray is tracking me at a protest
- detect silent SMS on my Android device
- monitor cell tower consistency for MITM attacks
- protect my calls and texts from cellular interception
- check if my phone is connected to a rogue base station
When to choose
- you use an Android phone and want to detect IMSI-catcher or StingRay surveillance
- you attend protests or work in a privacy-sensitive environment and need cellular threat awareness
- you want a free, open-source cellular security tool
When to avoid
- you need an iOS or desktop solution
- you expect a fully mature, guaranteed detection tool - the project is in alpha and detection is heuristic
- you need active protection rather than detection
