I bought one of the hotspots and look forward to what I find after flashing it.
Same here. I really hope I find nothing, but I also hope I find something.
I looked and it seems these hotspots are Verizon-specific. Is that what we're supposed to get?
Shouldn't matter since you're running different firmware it sounds like.
Should matter or shouldn't matter?
Shouldn't, fixed that typo hah
I assume the eff's link was both specific and intentional. Mine showed up yesterday and installing the thing was very easy. Looks to work.
Makes sense.
Hard to get in EU. If anyone knows a way to get one in EU (no Amazon), let me know. The issue is the shipping cost.
And perhaps different wavelengths?
Could you elaborate on this please?
Something something EU has other standards then USA, for example with Walkie talkies its illegal to use frequencies that US uses in EU and the other way around.
Its the same with cellular, US and EU has other Standards and the eff device may not be suitable to use those frequencies
Phones bought in the US work in Europe and vice versa.
Most phones support multiple regions' frequency bands, especially these days. Some don't, probably mostly older ones. Manufacturers used to make different versions of the same model for different regions.
Reshipper possibly. Still expensive to ship though.
I've got this running. Haven't caught any Stingrays yet but I also haven't been into town yet.
E: Went into town for SXSW, still nothing
Does this detect only Verizon bands or does it work for AT&T/T-Mobile towers too? I'm tempted to get this just out of curiosity but if it's only Verizon bands it's not really useful to me unless the fake towers attach to any device regardless of carrier.
Edit: Was able to find a brand new one on Ebay for a whopping $12 after taxes with free shipping. At the very least it'll be a nice paperweight if it proves useless to me. ๐
I've set up a community specifically for release updates from the Rayhunter Github at !Rayhunter@lemm.ee if anyone is interested
Neat!
