- Boss, your idea has borne fruit. I would like to once again note the high level of our cadets. Paul discovered vulnerabilities in the office controller system for managing physical security. He noticed that the encrypted messages sent by the devices over the bank's internal network were not random. And with proper protection, encrypted messages should always look like a random set of characters.
He also discovered a hard-coded encryption key used for all devices. He was able to successfully copy the key and forge commands, including those for unlocking the doors. He could just as easily replay the commands to unlock the doors, which would have had the same effect. He was able to block the locks and keep other office employees out. Moreover, all his actions were not registered by the system.
— Like a small earthquake! Oh, how much screaming there was luxembourg whatsapp data the head of security was able to get into his office only on the fourth try. And his key sometimes worked, sometimes it didn't.
— And what about the manufacturing company? Have measures been taken?
— The measures have been taken, but it doesn’t make things any easier for consumers, because they essentially have to buy new locks again, since it’s impossible to repair them!
— I think that the company should be required to replace all old-style locks with new ones free of charge.
- But this could lead to the company’s bankruptcy?
— Would it be better if honest customers paid for their sloppiness? I don't think so!
Not long ago, a vulnerability in the door locks was discovered by one of Google 's employees, thanks to which he was able to open and lock all the doors in the office. So, unfortunately, this is not a fairy tale.
