@gonnefishin I just used the website. I have played with NFC and RFID and iButton several times using cobbled-together parts. This does more and is cuter.
@sun ah yes, the device that gets banned for being "easy to steal cars" with instead of calling out the car manufacturers on their insecure garbage. :apensive:
@sun especially old stuff, a lot of staircases for apartments and such have these too and it's super easy to get in (ignoring the fact that you can just disable the lock with a screwdriver and some knowhow). But hey, let's ignore that and ban the flipper instead :frieren_damn:
@xian the iButton compat is what put me over the edge for buying it. Previously I've been using a reader I built with an Arduino and a Chinese iButton interface with no datasheet that I had to guess how to wire up.
@sun@shitposter.world i really really have to hold back my interest in this product knowing it will be classified as a weapon/other dumbass shit before i can justify its pricetag
@xian >the device that gets banned for being "easy to steal cars" with You can't even steal a car with a flipper anyway due to how it doesn't have the right hardware.
Sure you could technically mod one with extra hardware and steal a car with that, but that's the extra hardware and not the flipper.
Car thief's just go online and purchase "emergency start" devices that are disguised as portable speakers, find a modern car, pull off one of the headlamps (full of proprietary software), plug the disguised device into the CAN bus, send the unlock+start signals, then drive the car to the chop shop.
@eal After decades, car manufacturers finally fixed basic replay attacks with a rolling code that ignores previously received codes (n-1).
An interception device needs to jam the signals and receive the first unlock sequence (which may be noticed as you press unlock and nothing happens, although this happens regularly if you're too far away from your car and you press unlock) and when it receives a second unlock, it needs to send the previous unlock - as a result the car will accept code n, the interception device has code n and the remote will send code n+1 next unlock.
