This is SecUpwN, the project maintainer of mentioned app. Let me say this: Before discrediting an eager project like ours, RTFM! Obviously you closed your eyes the whole time when doing the "full code review", otherwise you would have read:
Everyone with a pair of eyes is able to clearly see the warnings, disclaimers and statements all over our project that our app is still in ALPHA development. And if you really are a skilled developer and not just a troll wanting to discredit our app in favour of making another one more popular (which I think you actually are), you'd have contributed. But you're just a fake "security researcher", ranting on public sites about an open source project where everyone is invited and very welcome to add a bit to make it better. Next time, please think twice before publishing shit like yours above.
Law enforcement agencies, criminals and dictatorial regimes use IMSI-Catchers and StingRays, which are false mobile towers acting between the target mobile phone(s) and the service providers real towers. The FBI or local police might deploy the device at a protest to obtain a record of everyone who attended with a cell phone. IMSI-Catchers can not only intercept mobile phone traffic and track movement of mobile phone users, but even remotely manipulate your handset. Unfortunately it seems that IMSI-Catchers have been exponentially popular lately, with an explosion of various "bastards" with governments and criminals all the same, using it.
Our "Android IMSI-Catcher Detector" aims to detect and avoid these IMSI-Catchers. Users shall be warned if the ciphering is turned off. Several other protection-mechanisms are in the works, too. We started to implement the first detection methods and need people who can check our App on real IMSI-Catchers or equivalent self-build hardware.
Also (and this is no joke), if you work for a company producing software for IMSI-Catchers, leak it to us! Should you work for the police (or similar organization) and feel like giving our App a test on the IMSI-Catcher in your garage, have some fun and do it! NOTE: Since all members of our project value privacy to be one of the most important things to keep, please protect yourself when undertaking any action. We do not want do endorse you losing your job, family or lives. Just feel invited to keep our project moving by leaking IMSI-Catcher software and other secret information to us.
WARNING: Our App is currently in BLEEDING ALPHA state - do NOT complain that stuff is not working, start contributing pull requests!
