Cellular Assault Village
Join us at the "Cellular Assault Village" for an eye-opening presentation. In this talk, we will dive deep
into the vulnerabilities that lurk within our everyday mobile communications, revealing how both voice
calls and SMS messages can be intercepted.
We’ll explore the mechanics behind passive and active interceptors, shedding light on how these tools
can be used to eavesdrop on seemingly secure conversations. You’ll see how the Cellular Assault Village
team has developed custom hardware that mimics the functionalities of expensive commercial
interceptors, leveraging Software-Defined Radios (SDRs) and other innovative techniques to achieve
similar results at a fraction of the cost.
The presentation will also cover the dangers of SMS phishing, including demonstrations of spoofed
number attacks and other deceptive tactics used to manipulate unsuspecting users. By the end of this
session, you'll have a comprehensive understanding of the threats facing mobile security today and the
creative solutions that can be employed to counteract them.
Whether you’re a security professional, a hacker, or just someone interested in the dark side of mobile
technology, this presentation will equip you with the knowledge to better protect yourself and others
from these pervasive threats.
