https://github.com/yantis/amps-cellular-interceptor

This code is for an old project I made over twenty years ago in 1997. In the 80s & 90s, Cellular phones were mostly analog meaning you could listen in on phone calls. (1983 to 2008) Most cell phones were in peoples cars, and as they drove around they would jump from cell tower to cell tower You can read more about (AMPS) Advanced Mobile Phone System here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Mobile_Phone_System What this tool did was follow people that were flagged interesting and record the calls based on the flagged "alert level" even as they jumped from cell tower to cell tower. It would always prioritize recording of calls based on the alert/interesting level. So if someone of high interested started a call, it would record them over someone of a lower alert level. It also maintained a database of the call history etc. Then it would store a WAV audio file with a snippet of data about that call (most of it was manually added over time from listening to the calls). A hypothetical situation would be something like a border agent taking a bribe would be interesting so you would raise the alert level to flag that users calls. (I do not have any of this history or audio files. I just kept the source code. It has been so long I don't even remember much about this project)
