The document describes a sniffer device that can detect and locate lost mobile phones. The sniffer works as a small base station that operates at a different frequency than mobile networks. It uses the phone's unique IMEI number to identify lost phones within range. The sniffer is designed with a small transceiver, directional antenna, and software to store IMEI numbers and track locations. When activated, it scans for lost phones by number and uses GPS to pinpoint their location for recovery. While not perfect, the sniffer provides an effective and low-cost solution for finding lost mobiles at a large scale.
10. What is Sniffer ?What is Sniffer ?
The main scope is to detect the lost mobiles.
For the detection of lost mobile SNIFFER plays a vital
role.
The Sniffer is basically a transceiver that works in the
different frequency that we are commonly used.
The sniffer device has to be designed for easy mobility
for the purpose of detection.
12. International Mobile Equipment Identifier
15 digit Unique code used to identify GSM phone
Used for blocking of call made by unauthorized person
When a phone is switched on, this unique IMEI number
is transmitted and checked against a data base of
black listed phones in the networks EIR .
To know the IMEI number the *#06# has to be pressed.
We use IMEI EFFECTIVELY in SNIFFER For the purpose of DETECTON
13. Gray List
Allow the Phone to be used, but can be
tracked to see who has it.
Black List
Listing the phone from being used on any
number where there is an EMI match

DESIGNING FOR THE SNIFFERDESIGNING FOR THE SNIFFER
15. Designing for the Sniffer - Sniffer Base Station
Small base station
Include transceiver section
Operated at frequency (900mhz which is VHF range)it is
necessarily to design the oscillator circuit for that frequency
range
Important is cooling
Low power transmitter (help in nature)
16. Designing for the Sniffer - Design Of Unidirectional Antenna
Act as a eyes for the sniffer
Antenna is a device works at specified frequency
Transmitting & receiving data signal
Transmit power
Used to show radiation pattern
(Unidirectional Antenna Radio Pattern)
17. Designing for the Sniffer - S/W for the Tracking
Feature: help to create database using RAM
IMEA - embedded in a chip
RAM stores - IMEI no.
Act as a database
18. Designing for the Sniffer - S/W for the Tracking

19. If the connection of the lost mobile is Established with the BTS, The MSC
collects its IMEI number.
If these number are matched with the reported lost nos .
It transferred the connection to the sniffer device.
Searching can perform with the GPS system for more accurate , fast
detection and location can be tracked.
WORKING OF THE SNIFFER DEVICE
21. After Sniffer Increase The Frequency
IMEI no. provided by MTSO or MSC
BTS(base transceiver station)-act as a middle man
MTSO(mobile telephone switching office)=MSC(mobile switching centre)
The connection of the sniffer device with the lost mobile phone.
22. Sniffer tries to Communicate with the Lost Mobile
The sniffer shown in fig tries to communicate with the lost mobile. After
getting connected with the mobile it creates a virtual cell pattern and thus
helps in the detection of lost mobile phones.
24.
Useful for lost mobile
effective cost
low power consumption
easy to design
ADVANTAGES
25.
Power of mobile should be good enough
Mobile should not been in shadow regain
Note: Method can been improved by using modern technology and devices
