We know very little about how cell-site simulators (CSS), devices that masquerade as legitimate cell-phone towers, are being deployed in the US or globally, but with Rayhunter, we hope to change that. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Cell-site simulators (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. Our tool, Rayhunter, can help you find them. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

At EFF we spend a lot of time thinking about the tech used by police and authorities to spy on you while you’re going about your everyday life, like cell-site simulators (CSS). Rayhunter is an open source tool we’ve created that we hope empowers everyone to help search out CSS around the world.

If you bring Rayhunter to a protest this weekend (or ever), please send us the results, even if you didn’t find anything! Negative results can still help us better understand how and when CSS are being used. efforg.github.io/rayhunter/s...

We haven’t found evidence of Stingrays being used at protests in the US yet, but if you’re going to a protest, why not bring Rayhunter to be sure? Don’t forget to charge and update it, then let us know what you find! efforg.github.io/rayhunter/s...

Just because CSS don't appear to be used to spy on protests in the US right now doesn't mean that is true everywhere. We are interested in getting Rayhunter data from every country to help us understand the global use of CSS and to refine our signatures. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...
