YouTube: DEF CON 18 - Practical Cellphone Spying with Kristin Paget

Unfortunately it seems that IMSI-Catchers have been exponentially popular lately, with an explosion of various "bastards" with governments and criminals all the same, using it. Anyone can now buy an IMSI-Catcher (or build a cheap one on his own). In addition they can all crack the A5.1-3 encryption on the fly! This is why the original author named "E:V:A" started this project. Let's detect and protect against these threats! Never think that you've got "nothing to hide". You'll very likely regret it one day.
