Rayhunter is a new open source tool we’ve created that runs off an affordable mobile hotspot that we hope empowers everyone, regardless of technical skill, to help search out cell-site simulators (CSS) around the world.

From the Github (emphasis mine):

Rayhunter has been built and tested for the Orbic RC400L mobile hotspot. It may work on other orbics and other linux/qualcom devices, but this is the only one we have tested on.

Still very cool, but very, very limited options for using it.

On the plus side, it at least seems like a relatively inexpensive option, only $19 on Amazon.

To be clear, I’m only linking to it on Amazon because it is sold out from the manufacturer itself. Due to being sold out, I assume, Orbic doesn’t even list a price for it.

Another important note from the Github (emphasis not mine):

THIS CODE IS A PROOF OF CONCEPT AND SHOULD NOT BE RELIED UPON IN HIGH RISK SITUATIONS!

They’re $11 on eBay.

I’ve seen them cheaper on ebay

The real issue, whether on Amazon or ebay, is that only a handful on ebay are listed as “unlocked” to be used on cellular networks other than Verizon.

Fwiw: I’ve been using a Verizon locked one without ever activating the sim. It works just fine as a Rayhunter. It just doesn’t work as a hotspot.

Good to know. I need to flash the one I purchased a few weeks ago. Just got busy and forgot.

I feel ya. It’s crazy easy. I was surprised. Then, just wardrive. 😊

Dope, thanks for the heads up
