Okay kiddo, let me explain what an SS7 probe is.
Do you know how people talk to each other using phones or messages? They use something called a network which helps them connect to each other. The SS7 (Signaling System 7) network is one of them. It's like a big network that connects different phone companies together, and helps them to communicate with each other.
Now, sometimes people use the SS7 network to send messages or make calls to each other. But sometimes, some bad people might try to use this network to do bad things like steal money or hack into someone's phone. This is where an SS7 probe comes in.
An SS7 probe is like a detective that looks out for any bad activity happening on this network. It observes all the messages and calls that are being sent through the SS7 network, and checks if they are good or bad. If it sees something that's not right, it alerts the network operators so they can investigate further and stop any bad people from doing bad things.
Think of it like a superhero who saves the day by keeping a watchful eye on the network and making sure nothing bad happens. And that's what an SS7 probe does, in a nutshell!
