Underground developers are selling Flipper Zero “car unlock” packages for hundreds of dollars, complete with a PDF listing targeted makes and models and whether the hack enables only door unlocks or full start/drive.

    The blame falls on the car companies (and the thieves ofc)

    They are still using rolling code technology when public private key exchange exists from the 70s. The have stagnated from anti theft technology while being in the bleeding edge of DRM and data collecting.

    they profit from rediculous keyfob prices when a 2$ microcontroller can do the job

    they have locked down the car so its impossible to modify

    they are not doing recalls to patch the vunorabilities

    they have lobbied against security research and threatened researchers with litigation

      They want to lock us out of our car by putting shitting 1970s technology in their cars. We could have x509 certificate and contact less smartcars that bank use and cost pennies. But no, rolling codes OR “dealership only 1000$ per service” for anything access control related. That’s the plan
