Cell Phone Hacking Via Wireless Carrier Repeater

Cell Jammers and Cell Repeaters are easy to acquire if a bit expensive, and mine takes the data and writes it to IP so I don't have to be near the person I am spying on. Deployed in an office all your calls are belong to us.

This technique works on all kinds of phone, iPhone, Android, Nokia, any of them.

This information is for recreational use only. Information has been omitted to prevent this from being a tutorial. The purpose of this video is to inform you of how to protect yourself from hackers, not how to hack others.

This is why I like you (among 27 others). You're willing to bluntly prove you're not safe and this is the basics to do it/look for and now beware. I appreciate the honesty and making people aware. Also if you're at CES or Defcon and looking for transport or good food, XDATv should be over anf my parents (Chefs) will be over cooking.

I don't know where you think I said you could be a DOS of one, But you are wrong.
A. As mentioned this device kicks things to 1g so there is not A5/1
B. A5/1 sends the key to be used, so any communication that you have from end to end is only wrapped, not encrypted.
C. A5/1 is a cypher not an encryption, because the ratio of the input to the output is always the same.

Im curious about what you were doing when you discovered a need to use this equipment.

[BrandonWirtz]

@maxsonic1 the device provides the "2G". There doesn't need to be any. In fact it works even if your phone thinks it is out of service for grabbing data requests.

[BrandonWirtz]

@MetalAcitistJim Nope, the phone functions as normal, it doesn't know it is hijacked. It is like doing a wire tap.

[BrandonWirtz]

@GeneralofWallace Most phones will not let you force 3G only, that is what makes this attack so scary.

[BrandonWirtz]

@maxsonic1 Nope. If you listened / Understood the video. The attack involve jamming the 3G so you fall back.

How can I start hacking like get information from phones and control them

[Programmer]

That's pretty scary. Have you ever done it?

[BrandonWirtz]

It is not encryption any more than ZIP or GIF is, it is an encoding format.

[GeneralofWallace]

So, is there anyway to prevent your phone from sending data over a band other than 3G? Or, any other way to protect yourself from this?

[daveturney]

what even got you into the position to know how this works, and subsequently own the gear?

[evilfinchman]

is it possible to intercept picture and video messages? or to hack someones phone and just see all of their photos and texts and videos without them sending any?

[tmar]

Most people will worry about it, most people don't need to worry about it.

[MetalAcitistJim]

would that keep carriers from remote activating the mic or the camera

[BrandonWirtz]

@daveturney This isn't me, this is my Twin Brother. I never do bad things.

[MrDbro]

Is there a way to use your cellphone to be able to use any cell phone carriers tower for mobile internet?

[BrandonWirtz]

@maxsonic1 LOL. No network is 3G only (you can force this on a certain set of nokia phones). and there is no way to force secure only for data especially if you are running apps. But if little lies help you sleep at night, keep telling them.

[technoguy]

Have you done it? Of course for curiosity's sake, that is...

@BlackwaterOpsDotCom give it a couple years, it'll all fit into your pocket (as long as your modify it like sony did)
