Due to the recent events envolving planes and FBI, I was wondering.
Changing SIMs (so IMSI) is an easy task. Change IMEI with some
knowledge I believe its too.
There are some tutorials on IMEI changing on rooted android, I dont
known if actually works, suppose yes:

Knowing we can get TMSI / IMSI (sometimes) via RTL-SDR software +
proper dongles:

And knowing the IMEI is used / exchanged with the network before
authentication is granted to a certain phone (network can block IMEIs,
so they are sent/exchanged)
Do someone know if is it possible to check if the original IMEI was
really changed and is not being exchanged with the provider, by using
RTL-SDR + proper device to sniff the frequency?
