AIMSICD is an app to detect IMSI-Catchers. IMSI-Catchers are false mobile towers (base stations) acting between the target mobile phone(s) and the real towers of service providers. As such they are considered a Man-In-The-Middle (MITM) attack. In the USA the IMSI-Catcher technology is commonly known under the name “StingRay“. Find out more on their WIKI.
For this app to function to its full potential you will want to have a rooted android phone. AIMSICD will alert you when your phone is attempting to connect to a suspicious cell tower
