Technical Overview
This documentation is especially for developers who want to join our project and for everybody else who would like to know how AIMSICD detects IMSI-Catchers, silent SMS and other threats. Important Note: Due to its complexity, this is a work in progress.
###Basic Modules and I/O:
###Database Tables: (Current Behavior)
- DEFAULT_MCC_TABLE: (Mobile Country Code): This table holds data to identify your service provider (carrier) and country.
- CELL_TABLE: These are the unique BTS towers as collected by the phone, once it has connected to it (ignoring neighboring cells).
-
LOCATION_TABLE: These are the individual measurements as collected when in
Tracking Cell Detailsmode. The location (Lat/Lng) of the phone and the Cell-ID it is connected to + timestamp. - OPENCELLID_TABLE: Downloaded DB from OpenCellID.
- SILENT_SMS_TABLE: Protocol of incoming messages.
Database Tables: (New Proposal)
###TO BE UPDATED
- CELL_TABLE: Data collected by the phone when it is connected to a cell. (not from the table neighboring cells).
-
LOCATION_TABLE: These are the individual measurements as collected when in
Tracking Cell Detailsmode. The location (Lat/Lng) of the phone and the Cell-ID it is connected to + timestamp.
##other important Details:
Display the Neighboring Cell information in two ways:
- through telephony manager methods which does not work on Samsung Devices
- a fallback is available through the methods developed by Alexey (Data is saved in an Array not in an table)
