Cell Phone Interception At Def Con

Posted by Soulskill on from the can-i-hear-you-now dept.

ChrisPaget writes "I'm planning a pretty significant demonstration of GSM insecurity at Defcon next week, where I'll intercept and record cellular calls made by my attendees, live on-stage, no user-input required. As you can imagine, intercepting cellphones is a Very Big Deal in the eyes of the law; this blog post is an attempt to reassure everyone that their privacy is being taken seriously despite the nature of the demo. I'm not just making it up either — the EFF have helped significantly with the details."

  1. Will there be any GSM calls with "no user-input"? by sznupi · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Is jamming UMTS network also planned? (yes, lots of folks still don't have handsets with UMTS; but at Defcon...)
