I don't understand how anyone in a security role in the car industry can accept a system like this that's been broken and abused for years. Is the convenience of not having to push a button on the key fob as you approach the car really worth the risk of having it stolen fairly easily?
- codedokode 7y agoCar security systems always were this unreliable. Earlier systems were vulnerable to replay attacks or had weak encryption. I think they are made to protect against random person walking by, not a professional and well-equipped attacker.
- tomatocracy 7y agoUltimately a professional can just turn up with a trailer and load the car onto it if they are really determined. Deterring the more casual end of theft is the right solution. What’s happened is that the accessibility of the technology to undertake eg replay or relay attacks has increased so that’s now become a more casual theft vector. It’s a cat and mouse game.
