As soon as the company that made it moves on / folds or whatever, that's the end of that aspect of the product - unless you keep an ever increasing pile of legacy equipment, for chatting to old hardware via obsolete apps! For all 'smart' products l think it remains to be seen how smart a purchase they actually are, even if they don't fall apart when you look at them sternly. I'd say always ensure at least basic functionality is present without app support and be aware that support could disappear at any time, that's before we even get into software security

MitM would be a pretty advanced. It really requires both planing and time to get the opportunity to intercept the communication and then skill and time to break the encryption. Still interesting to see how hard it would be. Power analysis would probably prove another hard one as it has that internal capacitor that would if not totally mask then at least smooth out the power draw significantly masking the internal working. I think that with the right programming it would be possible to make a power analysis attack impractical if not even impossible. My idea is to buffer the code entry and perform a code verification only once all numbers has been entered. That way no fluctuation should be detectable as the code is entered. Also the code analysis should set a go and a no go flag for each of the numbers, that way the power draw will be the same for a valid digit as for an invalid digit. With some thought to the hardware side it should be possible to almost entirely mask any power fluctuations coming from the electronics.

From a software security point of view, the hard-coded (?) permanent unchangeable PIN is a huge security issue. Since it's the master password & can't be disabled or changed (if that's what Bill meant), the whole lock would become hugely compromised the moment anyone besides the owner gets that code. Can't really tell how hard or easy it is to attack the lock through digital means, but it's probably not hard to extract the master PIN once you've got the firmware.

Hey John! This is a perfect example of something that is easy to SAY, but not easy to execute. Every time I look at a bluetooth or wireless lock several people end up mentioning how "vulnerable" they are and how easy it is to hack. Yet....scan KZbin... outside of a controlled laboratory or conference hall these theories haven't been demonstrated. Now, having said that, keeping the 9-digit PIN secret is the same thing as keeping control of your key to a keyed lock. If you lose either of those, the security is definitely compromised - a no brainer. So, before anyone else jumps on the "Bluetooth/Wireless is easy to hack" bandwagon, I'd really like to see you post a video showing how "easy" it is. After all, this is a padlock...not a bank vault. It cost $110...

@@bosnianbill Does the lock have a software update feature. (It seems it has) Usually it is a nightmare for a company to have truly randomized master codes, so they usually get sloppy and make the master codes, based on some algorithm and a seed. If for example they use the Bluetooth MAC as the seed, if someone found out the algorithm, it would be instant access to all access codes, based on a MAC, that the unit itself transmits. In such a case, it would be nice to have firmware updateability to be able to change the code....But still not ideal, as this would mean that the master code would change and the user would need to be able to know the new code.
@i_sometimes_leave_comments4 жыл бұрын
For $110, it certainly is a great lock. However, cheaper locks that aren't susceptible to common attacks like shimming are also really good for most people, since not many thieves can proficiently pick locks like you & LPL, so similar security for a much lower price. Then again, I'm mostly interested in stealth & digital attacks and personally prefer physical bypass & wireless hacking over lock picking (though I do like lock picking). I'd love to test these smart locks if I can get them and the necessary tools. Another point for smart locks: they almost never get security patches. If someone finds software vulnerabilities, even if the manufacturer sends out patches, few people would know about it, and even fewer would bother to apply the patch, if patching can even easily be done. Also, if you can unlock if from anywhere in the world, anyone who manages to get the lock's ID (may be by shoulder surfing) would be able to have something running to brute-force the PIN. Not likely, but still a valid vector. ... but then again, it's probably much easier to break your windows or door.

There’s a national property management company that I do work for that installs the Igloohome S2 deadbolts on all their properties and according to my contact, they’ve tried other locks and have found that these are the best option as the software can link to your Airbnb account and auto generate and schedule the pins for the people staying on the properties. I’d be interested to see what @Bosnianbill has to say about their deadbolts.

How many GOOD locks you need? 2? padlock+bike lock? This thing is amazing! For 110$ I would get this anyday. Great gift too (not a sponsored comment lol)

Seems like a pretty decent unit, as stated, not fort knox by any means, but an affordable option for folks looking for the convenience on the tech side. I see many folks mentioning about hacking it, and while I'm sure someone, somewhere, with the right equipment and know-how can.. would anyone put that sort of effort into getting at something this lock is securing? Doesn't seem like a huge concern, just my opinion

That's the thing, now isn't it? This type of lock is frequently attached to relatively weak hardware, in many cases, you could just smash off the lock and get the stuff behind it. Where cracking is a particular issue is that it can be done remotely, and the lock relocked without anybody noticing. The attacker could then come and do whatever they want knowing that they can be in and out in a small amount of time. If somebody does seem them, they likely won't think there's anything strange as they would have the ability to unlock it as normal. At this point they could remove, tamper with or add whatever they like. Obviously, this is a rather extreme amount of work and not something that's likely to happen in practice. If you're that important, then you should be getting more secure kit and definitely not connecting it to the internet.

@@SmallSpoonBrigade exactly my thoughts, its all about the application. Typically, I'm not overly concerned with the tech side of attacks. Seems to me, typically, criminals after physical goods are much more at home with a hammer and prybar, than they are with a laptop (or lock picks for that matter) to get at my rakes and shovels in my shed 🤷🏻♂️

For once something good! But...no mention of physical attacks like the other one that crumbled when hit with a hammer?

Nice even the security torx screw holding the battery door on turns clockwise to open which is counterintuitive to the standard. I would instantly want to try and turn it counterclockwise. Just a small detail yet important.
