We are going to have a talk about a mobile phone eavesdropping technique by fake mobile towers. The device is known as 'IMSI catchers' and it is mainly used by law enforcement organisations.



Synopsis:



Okay, so you've decided you 'have' to lug around a tracking device. But that doesn't mean all is lost.



This talk will go though the techniques behind the SnoopSnitch tool in order to minimise the range of phone surveillance attacks. This includes minimising the success of IMSI catchers, SIM exploits and SMS attacks.To get the most out of this talk, please bring an android phone you are willing to root (or is already rooted)

You are invited to come along to our next meeting on Wednesday, 20th of April 2016!



We are all about providing resources and help for anyone seeking to secure their communication in a casual, fun, and positive environment. Our events are free of charge, open to anyone, and politically non-aligned.



The topics which are covered in each session depend on what attendees are keen to learn. We normally tend to start off with a short presentation and then move to a hands-on part during which you will be able to get one-on-one help with electronic privacy tools.



It is important that you bring your *laptop* to really get the most out of the meeting, but don’t worry: *No prior knowledge and skills* on the subject-matter are expected! Further details and any of our used slides can be found here:
