Use outside of the US

[marcfielding1]

Heya,

A great piece of work on this! I'm based just north of London and would be interested in testing this, Stingray usage in and around London has been shown to be pretty prevalent both via law enforcement and criminals.

When I watched the talk on this I noticed console logs talking about it giving false positives outside the US, would I be able to reconfigure Crocodile Hunter to work correctly here, from the looks of it we'd need to modify watchdog.py?

I would say this isn't my area of expertise, however, once I've had a little time to study it I'm sure I'll get it down, also the company I own does have some pretty nifty machine learning resource so once I understand it I'd look to apply those particular skills to the data.

EDIT: so in our initial test area we have validation data available for all providers via various data sources, something like this.

The interesting bit is that 2g masts are all over the place still, so it'd be interesting to see how many extra 2g masts there compared to those officially listed, it may be the way these are used here differs from the US, plus we can check on the others too.

Thanks

Marc

you need to set run_us_centeric_heuristics = false in src/config.ini other than that it should work just fine in london. Good luck!

actually the latest pull request added a new config flag where you can set the country codes for your own area. I would reccomend using this feature!
