I was watching this like it was released yesterday. I eventually realized that it wasn't and looked to see it was 9 years ago. I'm sure several things have changed, but also that it probably doesn't take much more effort than this video shows to get the same result. Living very populated areas makes you much more at risk of these techniques than those that live in rural areas. Also, living in a warzone, or hostile government, kind of area will raise the chances of interception by a good bit.
I was going to make a smart comment on the SMS part, but then I realized setting up a SMSC to relay messages would indeed not be identifiable by the receiver as the SMSC uses the CID from the MO (in this case you). You could however intercept them and convert them into a flash SMS with the number added, sadly the recipient wouldn't be able to save the message... Who still uses SMS, besides me? :p
Off-the-wall question here, but,, since T-mobile have just told me that 2G support ends in 2022, is there a workaround to use it afterwards? My wish is for someone to create a program that tricks 3G into becoming back compatible and forcing the sim to recognize 3G as 2G. That would allow our dinosaurs to avoid extinction. Plus, imagine how many will end up in a landfill. Whoever is capable, of said 2G spoofing project, would be saving lots of room in such landfills as well.
@@brian95240 no. But it's the nature of things. You can't pretend 3G is 2G, and if you force T-mobile to install a bunch of new 2G equipment across their network, YOU'RE forcing them to produce waste.

Actually, 4G beefed up security, and there was a talk about it at this year's DEFCON. It's called "detecting fake 4g base stations in real time"
DEFCON subject competence: outstanding
DEFCON audio competence: appalling

Couldn't you just create your own GSM network with a USRP?
@@thatoneintrovert9618 is that easy to do?
