I work at very large OEM. We've run the numbers, and key fob exploits are _extremely_ rare. (most) Modern keys use rolling keys that are verified by the ECU, making cloning (let alone initial pairing) extremely time consuming. However, Keyless-go key fobs _can_ be captured and replayed (not necessarily exploited). 99.99% of the time that cars are stolen (which we find much more common in Europe due to small jurisdictions), someone will break a window, steal your keys, and drive your car away.
(wireless) Key fob capturing and replaying require far more equipment than NFC PVC card (credit card) cloning.
- sroussey 8y agoWhy clone? Why replay? You just need signal boosters so the key and the car think they are next to each other.
- megraf 8y agoFollowing around someone with a 'signal booster' could be very difficult. If you capture and reply, you afford yourself a lot of advantages.
- jiveturkey 8y agoit’s not difficult when you steal it from their house. which is what happens.
- megraf 8y agoSee my original comment.
- jiveturkey 8y ago? Your original comment is that cloning is nearly if not entirely nonexistent. Of course it has advantages. But it's difficult and doesn't happen in the real world. What happens is replaying. Which isn't difficult.
