Shoutout to the @eff!
Just got my hotspot in the mail and installing #Rayhunter couldn't have been simpler.
Can't wait to try it out!

A New Tool to Detect Cellular #Spying | EFFector 37.3
This edition of the newsletter covers our new open source tool to detect cellular spying, #Rayhunter ; The #Foilies2025 , our tongue-in-cheek awards to the worst responses to public records requests; and our recommendations to the #NSF for the new #AI Action Plan to put people first.

A note on the name: Rayhunter is named such because Stingray is a brand name for cell-site simulators which has become a common term for the technology. One of the only natural predators of the stingray in the wild is the orca, some of which hunt stingrays for pleasure using a technique called wavehunting. Because we like Orcas, we don’t like stingray technology (though the animals are great!), and because it was the only name not already trademarked

Back on a train, dutiful rayhunter working its magic. First null cipher hit about 6 minutes out from Union Station, DC.
@LambdaCalculus @ArtifexUmbra could you test if the minified binary from this pull request works? https://github.com/EFForg/rayhunter/pull/122 reducing the binary size would help porting #rayhunter to other devices which have less space available :)
Rayhunter note: probably self-evident but I decided to fuck around anyway, and updating the Orbic firmware doesn’t seem to stop the Rayhunter daemon but it does hobble the web interface. Can no longer pull files directly from there.

Rayhunter up and running. Honestly, the hardest part was upgrading Mint to 22.1.
Green line=good. Going to take it out for a test drive tomorrow and see what I can capture.
Falls ihr auf der #mrmcd24 einen tplink-m7350 mitgenommen habt und #rayhunter ausprobieren wollt, findet ihr alle Infos dazu verlinkt in diesem Issue https://github.com/EFForg/rayhunter/issues/106#issuecomment-2706661413
Talk by the authors of the EFF #Rayhunter tool used to detect IMSI catchers (Stingrays). Talk goes from them knowing basically nothing to software implementation including under the hood details. Well worth a watch if you're into surveillance tech.
"At EFF we spend a lot of time thinking about Street Level Surveillance technologies—the technologies used by police and other authorities to spy on you while you are going about your everyday life—such as automated license plate readers, facial recognition, surveillance camera networks, and cell-site simulators (CSS). 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 CSS around the world.
CSS (also known as Stingrays or IMSI catchers) are devices that masquerade as legitimate cell-phone towers, tricking phones within a certain radius into connecting to the device rather than a tower."
