Cops use devices to pretend to be a celltower, so your phone connects to it, and then they use it to spy on you. Rayhunter looks for this behaviour and warns you if it detects a suspicious tower that behaves like cops pretending to be a tower.

What do you do if it comes up positive? Presumably if you know it’s a risk, you’d leave your phone in airplane mode or at home, and if you know it’s happening you’ve already been recorded?

At the moment, about all you can do is let others know and submit the log to EFF so they can better understand how these stingrays are being used.

Or I guess if you’re feeling froggy; look around for a van/trailer with suspicious antenna(s).
