Beware, Hackers Found Keyless Entry Breaker Tool

A digital security appliance researcher, Samy Kamkar, some time ago to find a tool that could prying OnStar security system owned by General Motors. With a simple tool, a very powerful man in tinkering with various security methods that can mentraking car, unlock and remote-start only through his cell phone.

Now Kamkar really make a breakthrough that makes the car security service provider, Keyless-Entry, should racked his brains to improve their standards. Kamkar even only needs US $ 30 to create a simple device that perfectly.

Based on the explanation Kamkar to TechInsider, working pattern creation tool is simply exploit code and a signal is delivered from the remote to the car. Keyless-entry car works by sending a random code to the car so it is very difficult to detect by the thieves. But it turns out there is a gap that makes it vulnerable burglarized.

Kamkar called the device unique as RollJam. The size is small, thin and very easy to tuck in between spaces in the car. Its function is to capture the signal and record the code, and inhibits these signals so that when the owner presses the button 'unlock', the vehicle will not respond.

Because it was not functioning properly, the owner then hooked to press the button a second time. Therein, RollJam launched tricks by holding both the code and sends the code first. That means RollJam been storing a second code in the database and have not been used by the keyless-entry.

That's when the door lock will open, but it is not a signal that the system is back to normal, but RollJam has managed to break into your vehicle security portal and whenever hackers to launch an action, he lived send the code to the car through remote assistance homemade.

Kamkar call security corrections that have for years applied there and became the scourge of the developers of security technologies. "This theory has actually been around for many years. That means that this theory is not new or a big surprise," said Kamkar to TechInsider.

With this discovery, Kamkar expect the technology industry can continue to improve vehicle safety and improve the possibilities of this kind.
