The WiFi and 4G flying snooper that anyone could make

It is getting harder and harder to think of things that are in point of fact from the world of science fiction and not have someone be able to create those things today with even run of the mill research.

What does WASP do with those gigabytes?

Just what does WASP do with those gigabytes? Originally, it was designed for Wi-Fi penetration - cracking network passwords during loitering above a target area. Nevertheless the newly upgraded WASP can now trick GSM phones into connecting with its 4G card as if it were a standard cellphone tower. Once connected, the WASP quietly records any phone conversations or text messages during connecting the call via VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol), along these lines giving the mark the impression that the call went through taking everything into consideration.

Keep in mind that nothing on the WASP is particularly new. The password cracking techniques have been around for quite some time, and the phone-spoof is based off a trick shown off at Defcon last year. Nevertheless by placing them on a flying platform, Perkins and Tassey have shown that consumer innovation and hacking techniques have progressed to the point where once untouchable targets are now vulnerable.
