9 years ago Good morning and thanks for showing your honest interest, @penguinpowernz! Your idea is great, but unfortunately not every project seems to be so open -minded like we are. Please see Similar Projects to get a feeling for why that is. But don't count on me here, rather wait for @E3V3A to add his thoughts.

9 years ago Hi @penguinpowernz ! Sure, supporting gsmmap, would be really nice. But you'd have to provide the details about their API and how we can upload our data there. As we're a very small team, we simply don't have time to add new features without your help. Same thing goes for the live map. It sound easy to implement in theory, but time consuming for the non-expert.

9 years ago Yea I'm sure I would be able to track down API details and all the required information etc. But I have no experience with programming on Android I'm afraid - much prefer the web side of things. I have read your roadmap and everything and can see how you guys are time limited, definitely have the work cut out for you and it is much appreciated.
I reckon the live site idea would be awesome, especially if the similar projects developers join in as well so we can get the most data points. There is currently no such site at the moment AFAIK, but I would like to make one when I get the time. I'm sure the FBI/DHS would fight/DDOS to take it down though.
Whether the privacy conscious users of these apps would want to part with their lon/lat digits is another question however...

9 years ago Hey still looking for the GSM Map stuff... there is no API as such, but there is an upload form. Just trying to find some details on format of the file (for CSV) by looking through the source code, as there are no details on their Wiki. I'll email them if I don't have much more luck.

9 years ago A quick search turned up that the seems to be a russian variant of GSMMAP. Here is the translated site, they even have a forum to digg into. Thanks for trying to find the API for GSMMAP, @penguinpowernz. Maybe you should ask on their mailing list?

9 years ago The code for uploading should be found in either the SnoopSnitch sources or their other GSMMap app... They have open repos, AFAIK.

9 years ago @penguinpowernz, please have a closer look at their repository to find the relevant parts.

9 years ago Sorry I was on holiday.
Yea I think I found the correct files here, but unfortunately can't understand them (I ditched java long ago). I also emailed them to ask if they could point us to a spec of some sort.

Thank you for keeping up you engagement in our project. Let us know here when they answered.

9 years ago Got the following reply:
Hi Robert,
Thanks for offering support. GSMmap uses (and SnoopSnitch produces) raw radio data while other apps like AIMSICD collect high-level data from the Android OS. As we need the low-level radio data to calculate our metrics data from AIMSICSD is inherently unsuitable for our purpose.
Cheers, Alex
So it seems that visualizing the AIMSICD data in GIS would be better suited as a "reported stingray" locations map. I hope to start a project like this in the future, but I have a few others on at the moment so will come back to you guys when I get a chance for that.
Cheers

8 years ago FWIW, #898 contains docs with some Stingray details.
Hey guys I was wondering if you, or if you plan to, support adding data to the gsmmap.org site.
Or maybe a site that shows live data of where IMSI Catchers are detected by this app (and hopefully others) so that people can look at the map and know to stay away from those areas. I am not sure if such a site exists, but it would be cool to help make one.
Cheers
