Meet Rayhunter: A New Open Source Tool from EFF to Detect Cellular Spying

8 Likes

Sorry Badgers, the EFF is best friends with Orcas now :sweat_smile:

Anyways, testing this out could be an excellent article idea in the future (and an excuse to touch grass too…)

What is this “grass” of which you speak and how much RAM does it require?

I think it also fits nicely that Wireshark (used to detect networks) has a shark as its mascot, so Rayhunter (for cellular networks) has an orca. Clever naming.
This tool would be great to test out, it’s going to be very interesting to see what people use it to uncover

(Also, a bit off-topic but Privacy Badger shouldn’t be recommended anyway, pretty mediocre considering uBlock Origin is a better content blocker and a new one would just introduce more problems and multiply attack surface.)
