It flags suspicious behavior—like forced 2G downgrades or fake tower identifiers—without snooping on your personal data.
Other Options to Explore:
- SnoopSnitch (Android) – Uses your phone’s radio diagnostics to warn of fake towers.
- Cell Spy Catcher – Detects IMSI catchers by monitoring unusual network changes.
- Stingray Detector apps & SDR projects – For advanced users with software-defined radios.
Quick Win: Set up one of these tools during events, protests, or when traveling in high-risk areas. Even if you’re not a security pro, these tools give you a visible early warning when someone tries to spy on mobile traffic.
Pro move: Combine mobile-network monitoring with strong basics—use end-to-end encrypted messaging (like Signal) and keep your phone’s OS updated. This layered defense makes it far harder for attackers to gather useful data, even if they’re nearby.
