Rayhunter is a new open source tool we’ve created that runs off an affordable mobile hotspot that we hope empowers everyone, regardless of technical skill, to help search out cell-site simulators (CSS) around the world.

    Whoever designs their logos definitely needs a raise IMO.

    I’d buy all the stickers if it didn’t cost twice their value just to ship them to me.

      I hadn’t noticed this until you pointed it out, but yeah, their logos are fire

    Do these work with European bands? Is it worth shipping to Europe?

      It probably doesn’t matter which specific band.

      It needed Xposed framework and worked only on some devices, which are not available anymore.

      It probably needs some permissions that aren’t available in newer Android versions anymore

    Is it necessary to get a cell plan to run the hotspot? If its just a matter of buying the $20 and loading EFF’s software, I’m definitely onboard!

      As far as I’m aware: no. Cell-site simulators could theoretically only target devices that connect with a valid IMSI, but I kinda doubt that they are doing that. But you could get a cheap prepaid SIM, instead of an actual cell plan.

      I know for phones even an inactive sim works to talk to the towers enough for 911 to work. Might be the same.
