Just technically, in theorie, how would it be possible to
A: change imei to that of an iphone or google android Phone without interfering problems like duplikates?
And
B: generate typical traffic such a device would normaly generate with its hundrets of connections per minute to HQ and others (both outgoing and incoming, so normal traffic)
To
C: make the GliNet MudiV2 on, sim card internet, look like a normy phone to the outside world and especially the carrier of the sim card and/or cell tower network.
The Goal of this thinkproject is to benefit from security benefits of a seperate mobile router without the disadvantage of sticking out the crowd.
Details Please. As much as you like.
Any unknown unknowns you think i might could have?
Please let me know!
Mudi system is not a mobile device OS such as Android/iOS, but OpenWRT.
Various means is only for as much as possible (or simulation) for the connections work well and security, not to make it truly a mobile phone.
If would like to a mobile phone, why not use Android phones and share its hotspot?
I know that its openwrt. But i heared that there are plugins and/or methods. I know of course, that a normal phone would do just what i asked but that was not the question. If you don't know it why do you answer? Do you like being this guy who's only answer is a critic to the question?
You could write a script to ping google.com every second, and to the casual observer, it would appear that you're using an Android phone.
If you really want to go all in and convince even the most discerning spy that you are running Android, here is a list of all the unique queries my Android phone made in the last month. Ping all of these, but make a separate script to continue pinging google.com every second.
(I left out all of the google video domains because there were just too many)
I am very curious as to who you are aiming this at, Do you honestly think someone is secretly spying on you.
No i don't think that. I'm just curios. I don't even have the device we are talking about. It's really just theory. An in this theory, i think that authorities are looking (constantly) at the metadata of the phone network. I say it's a theory because i don't KNOW it. I've seen a youtube video where a guy tellet a story about spy's and how they used metadata analysis to find out who the bad guys are. They did this by looking at the metadata and then a pattern stood out the crowd. It was a few phones that just talked to each other, so it was a closed circle. This was enough. So i think there are always people/entities who are looking at the cell network to find who sticks out of the crowd to flag them. A mobile router device as the mudiv2 would be beneficial in many ways but i think it would cause being flagged by authorities because the imei of a mudiv2 sticks out the crowd. They know it's a mobile router. If we add vpn and/or tor routing it becomes even more suspicious. And i don't know how "the list" look like from a observer's point of few. I can imagine if there is a device which sticks out of the crowd and they click on it to see the trafric list that they get very suspicious about it. Ot mabe they have a search mask where they can type in something like "show me all devices connected to the cell network that are not a phone and have vpn/tor traffic. I think it would be fairly easy to get flagged.
Meanwhile i also red that changing the imei of a device can be detected if not done correctly and would return in being flagged as a potential (realy really) bad guy. The ones really everybody likes to see in jail.
So there is the desicion if the benefits of a mudiV2 mobile router are worth being flagged.
I asked this question to get a deeper look of the potential project to get the benefits of this router without getting flagged.
How hard would it be, how practical, or would it even be a bad idea anyway because of reasons i don't know?
