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.

    I bought one of the hotspots and look forward to what I find after flashing it.

      Same here. I really hope I find nothing, but I also hope I find something.

      I looked and it seems these hotspots are Verizon-specific. Is that what we’re supposed to get?

        I assume the eff’s link was both specific and intentional. Mine showed up yesterday and installing the thing was very easy. Looks to work.

          Makes sense.

        Shouldn’t matter since you’re running different firmware it sounds like.

          Should matter or shouldn’t matter?
