SnoopSnitch xLite
This is the SnoopSnitch xLite source-code repository. SnoopSnitch xLite is a light weight and not funded, extended support version of the original SnoopSnitch from Security Research Labs.
SnoopSnitch collects and analyzes mobile radio data to make you aware of your mobile network security and to warn you about threats like fake base stations (IMSI catchers), user tracking and over-the-air updates.
