Keeping You Informed > IMSI Catchers -- Maria Pikusova

Published on Feb 28, 2016
Have you ever wondered if your phone calls and text messages are being subjected to man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks? How old is this bug and why is it still alive? White Hat alum Maria Pikusova tells us about International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) Catchers, tools that take advantage of the Global System for Mobile Communcations' (GSM) authentication bug to intercept your cell phone communications, for better or for worse.

Whether or not this worries you, you should watch this video! Pikusova also shows us an open sourced app that is written to detect IMSI Catchers. Check out the app, investigate the laws about IMSI Catchers in your county, and share what you find in a comment.
