Eneloops would only last about 3 weeks. And disposable last 2 months. This door is used a lot and since it has Zwave and a door open sensor it sends info on every open.
Bonus, since it can handle the lipo AA batteries that put out 1.8v and it gives the motor more oomph I made the battery pack give 7.2v and it never sticks anymore.
This is a garage-door so its not critical access but is used a lot.
Sometimes IOT devices don’t make rational sense to install. This is up there with “smart” lightbulbs in terms of creating a vulnerability through convenience.
When I 3d print a plastic phone mount for my bike, that doesn’t make the base bike any easier to steal. This does make your house less secure, even though it adds utility.
Lockpicking a door is so fucking easy that the biggest vulnerability here is the lock itself probably, you need way more skills to hack the electronic part than to lockpick the lock
Downloading an RFID/NFC spoofer app and loading a script from github?
Only cheap ass locks use unprotected NFC/RFID. Like your debit card also uses NFC. Can you clone a debit card or make a payment with a spoofer app? no you can’t. Just because it’s NFC doesn’t mean you can just spoof it with a Flipper Zero. If the NFC is protected with cryptographic authentication than that is impossible.
RFID is something you will not hack with a phone app and anyway you need to know what values the RFID/NFC reader on the other side wants and that’s if the the lock has NFC or RFID technologies and not something else
Creating programmable cards is exactly what we did at uni using an android app and a peripheral lol
(Including getting into utility rooms back when the security was an afterthought)
Yes but did you made an NFC or an RFID? As much as i know, most phones have only partial(eg: only reading) or no support to RFID
And again, you’d need to know what the reader on the door want, you cannot just give it any random data and hope it works, i could accept only an encoded password in SHA-256 and you would not be able to do much really, there are probably ways to break thru but at that point is faster and easier to lockpick the door
NFC with solely the phone, RFID using an android app and with a programmer attached via USB.
And where did the source come from to program onto the new card?
Do you now know how incredibly easy it is to pick a lock?
Yes. Being a script kiddie is still much easier.
…. Than you have absolutely zero concept about how easy it is to break into a regular deadbolt. Being a script kiddie or coding is not essier. Using a bump key requires zero skill.
Think of this of more like putting a smart system on a cable bike lock. Do they need to hack it? When you can do it faster and quieter with cable cutters anyways. And that requires zero skill and a cheap $15 tool vs an expensive phone. Vagrants aren’t known for being technical and owning phones or other technology. So with yours it’s only specific people who could do it, vs anyone.
