There exist two good projects for detecting IMSI catchers for Android: SnoopSnitch <sup>[[9]]</sup> and AIMSICD<sup>[[10]]</sup>. Snoop Snitch is particularly promising because many of the low-level GSM controls (like AT commands) are hidden away in the proprietary baseband. Some clever engineering by experts in the field allowed them to pull the information into an easy-to-use application. The code is open-source and provides a very good look into how IMSI Catchers work in the wild. The application also detects SS7 attacks which are outside the focus this article. Snoop Snitch is available in the Android Store <sup>[[11]]</sup> for devices which have Qualcomm basebands.

AIMSICD is another promising application in active development. A coupe of nice features include a local database backup of events that occur in your area for later analysis, an easy to use UI and color coded threat levels. In my own experience, I turn on the application as I walk around town and have passively mapped most of the topography of GSM towers in the city. This baseline is important for when fake towers emerge and disappear quickly. [You can download the APK here](12)
