-**Passive mode** is when these devices are only listening. Since your cell phone's connection with the cell towers is over the air, these signals can be intercepted and analyzed.

 //Stingrays, however, **can** make sense of these signals//, and extrapolate personally identifying information from them like your [[wp>International mobile subscriber identity]] or **IMSI number**, giving them the nickname //"IMSI catchers"//. With your IMSI, they can then track you anywhere you go at their leisure, and if they feel like, hit you with **active mode** later.
