Description

This app require ROOT access and a phone with a Qualcomm MSM based chipset.

SnoopSnitch analyse the mobile network radio data to warn you about insecure networks, mobile threats such as fake base stations (IMSI catchers), user tracking through silent/stealth SMS and SS7 MiTM attacks. It does not prevent such attacks.

Compatibility:

To use SnoopSnitch, a rooted device with a Qualcomm (MSM) radio processor is required. Unfortunately, custom ROMs are not officially supported as they can lack the necessary proprietary kernel module. Even then, certain Qualcomm chipset combinations are not supported. For example, devices based on the APQ8084.
