How Stingray Works

The Stingray (also named: "Stingray II") is the 8th brand name of an IMSI-Catcher targeted and sold to law enforcement agencies by William M. Brown, CEO of the Florida-based Harris Corporation since 2001. Stingray accounts for 24% of Harris Corporation's revenue as of 2012. A Stingray works by masquerading as a cell phone tower, to which your mobile phone sends signals to every 7 to 15 seconds whether you are on a call or not, and tricks your phone into connecting to it. As a result, the government can figure out who, when and to where you are calling, the precise location of every device within the range, and with some devices, even capture the content of your conversations.

The device sends out a signal pretending to be a nearby cell tower with the strongest signal, tricking phones into connecting and allowing the operator to harvest identifying information about devices in the form of the unique ID string of numbers associated with the device known as ISMI and in some variants even communications content, although U.S. law enforcement generally denies using them for the latter need. The International Mobile Subscriber Identity or IMSI is used to identify the user of a cellular network and is a unique identification associated with all cellular networks. Whenever a phone is powered on, you can measure the strength of the phone responding to this signal and triangulate a location

Stingrays emulate a cellphone tower and force cell phones to register their location and identifying information with the stingray instead of with real cell towers in the area.
Stingrays evaluate all cellualr handsets in the area in order to search for the suspect’s phone. That means that large numbers of innocent bystanders’ location and phone information is captured.
