Using Rayhunter
Once installed, Rayhunter will run automatically whenever your device is running. You'll see a green line on top of the device's display to indicate that it's running and recording. The line will turn red once a potential IMSI catcher has been found, until the device is rebooted or a new recording is started through the web UI.
It also serves a web UI that provides some basic controls, such as being able to start/stop recordings, download captures, delete captures, and view heuristic analyses of captures.
You can access this UI in one of two ways:
-
Connect over wifi: Connect your phone/laptop to your device's wifi network and visit http://192.168.1.1:8080 (orbic) or http://192.168.0.1:8080 (tplink).
Click past your browser warning you about the connection not being secure, Rayhunter doesn't have HTTPS yet.
On the Orbic, you can find the wifi network password by going to the Orbic's menu > 2.4 GHz WIFI Info > Enter > find the 8-character password next to the lock 🔒 icon.
-
Connect over USB (orbic): Connect your device to your laptop via USB. Run
adb forward tcp:8080 tcp:8080, then visit http://localhost:8080.- For this you will need to install the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) on your computer, you can copy the version that was downloaded inside the
releases/platform-tools/folder to somewhere else in your path or you can install it manually. - You can find instructions for doing so on your platform here, (don't worry about instructions for installing it on a phone/device yet).
- On macOS, the easiest way to install ADB is with Homebrew: First install Homebrew, then run
brew install android-platform-tools.

Connect over USB (tplink): Plug in the TP-Link and use USB tethering to establish a network connection. ADB support can be enabled on the device, but the installer won't do it for you.
