Well, as a software engineer with security as my main field; there are ZERO education in proper secure design of digital locks when you educate yourself as a software engineer at tech universities. Zero! But the entire world expect you to be a security genius as an engineer. So all these security-illiterate engineers end up being “creative” and make up their own horrendously bad security solutions that only keep themselves out. 😂 fun fact to scare you even more: 100% of all digital safe locks in the entire world can be opened with a factory master code. I know this particularly well, because I developed the world’s first tempest-certified timelock-system for civilian safe-locks to prevent illegal covert governmental level Abusive break-ins done by corrupt cops and corrupt intelligence agents targeting innocent civilian wealthy people. This project has been a big eye opener for me in many fields. The world you live in is not as secure as you might think it is. 😂👍❤️

It's criminal that car makers don't put motion sensors in the keyfobs to disable them when sitting idle - would cost peanuts and eliminate relay attacks. Some makers ( VW I think) do some fancy time-of-flight stuff to check response time to prevent relay attacks.

I highly recommend a good quality Faraday pouch. I'm a mechanic and use them when working especially on hybrid or electric vehicles as you don't want an engine to start when you've drained down the oil or your fingers are in there. And you really don't want a 900 volt EV coming online. I always check the ignition switch with the key in pouch within the vehicle to insure it can't be detected.

For anti-theft - Take the fuse out that provides power to the diagnostics socket, not many people carry a 12v battery about to power up their controllers and programmers. MOVE the diagnostics socket to a different location by extending the wires. Or you could replace the OBD2 socket for a completely different type, like an old parallel port connector off a computer (providing you have plug and socket) and make an adaptor with a plug and short lead going to the original socket. People trying to pinch the car would be going WTF! They would find some random connector and not have a clue which wire was which. You could also use a multi pin circular type. You can give the garage the small adaptor for services etc, then they can plug it in and put the OBD2 plug in the other part of it. Then I would fit a hidden switch connected up to one or more electrical circuits like the fuel pump and starter circuit. Anything to slow people down. Modern cars can be taken within minutes, even without keys. Sites sell everything people need apparently.

Easy (and effective) cure, hide a kill switch in the car to disable the starter. The only way the start button will work even with a relay attack is if they 1. KNOW about the kill switch, and 2. Know where it's hidden. They might still be able to GET IN your car, but it will still BE THERE when you go out the next morning. You COULD get even fancier and ad an alarm relay to the start button, that's active when the kill switch is on that will let you know someone is attempting to take it. Then you let your friends Smith and Wesson take care of the rest.

Previous owner of my old audi installed a kill switch, that allows engine to start, and kills it after about 30-60 seconds with alarm, if you don't push a hidden button. It honks before to remind you. It starts working each time after closing any door, even if engine is already running. In case of carjacking it allows supposedly armed criminal to drive off, leaving you safe. I think it was banned some time ago, because of stopping engine while riding. One can still park with momentum though, it doesn't brake.

I used to work for a small company which made kill switches that also required a 4 digit code which you could input via any designated switch in the car, or optionally by a hidden switch. If the car was entered and the code not input within 2 minutes, a sequence of events would start which was designed to disable and then draw attention to the vehicle in some very public ways.

You got the relay attack details slightly wrong. The car transmits on 125kHz, and it is this signal that is relayed to the portable antenna, The keyfob receives this and then replies on 433MHz, which has plenty of range to get to the car as it's also used for the keyfob pushbutton modes. The reasons for using 125kHz are that the range is limited and very predictable ( limited to area around doors and driver seat), and it can be received with near-zero quiescent power draw in the fob.
@andykirby
@andykirby Жыл бұрын
I don't think that's correct as why would there be a challenge & response visible on the keyfob UHF frequency when you press the start/stop button? I do know my car also has a method to start it using RFID but you have to hold the keyfob very close to a section on the steering column in order for it to energise. Passive 125khz RFID has a super localised range of maybe 10cm, that's not what's being used here. I find it hard to beleive its possible to do a long range passive RFID scam because the transmission distance of the fob is so short, it could be possible thiugh, I have seen videos of thieves with a very large wire antenna. In my car though it is active RFID which is in the UHF range. Passive RFID I think is used in cars that have a physical key inserted into the ignition,, then that key by nature can be very close to a reader all the time as it remains in the ignition.
@mikeselectricstuff
@mikeselectricstuff Жыл бұрын
@@andykirby What you are seeing when you press start/stop is the keyfob's 433MHz response ( possibly duplicated) Yes, normal car immobiliser keys are passive RFID but keyless entry systems are not - they use the same frequency but a larger antenna than the coil round the ignition key, and active receiver in the fob, which returns a signal via 433MHz UHF. 125kHz with a moderately high transmit power available from the car battery plus an active receiver in the fob can easily do a metre or so - cars typically have at least one antenna at each door & boot, and at least one around the drivers seat. The fob uses an inductive antenna (often 3 coils at right-angles to each other) tuned to resonate at 125khz, which can produce enough voltage directly from the received signal to wake the fob's control chip without any active receive power draw when idle. It is not practical to make a continuously-listening 433MHz UHF receiver running off a fob's coin cell - it would draw too much power for sensible battery life. The backup starting method does use conventional RFID - the chip in the fob can act as a passive RFID transponder if the battery is flat.

​@andykirby It's important to note that information on this topic can vary by manufacturer and by the function being performed. IE, opening the door using the fob vs starting the vehicle. There are some interesting vulnerabilities in fobs and the replay and relay attacks require zero understanding of the vehicles security system and only operational knowledge to carry out the attacks. Having said that, the popularity of the topic of car hacking is growing due to flipper zero videos. Once they know what people in my profession know, vehicle theft will be a lot worse.

Jesus, I had the ultimate anti-theft one, beige with rusty red fabric interior, HLS trim with a massive 1300cc engine. It was a good car in it's day as a first car, 155/65 SR12 tyres!!! ( I think). I had to replace the head gasket, went through numerous sets of front brakes, all 4 gas suspension units and connecting pipe at the rear, then the two radius arms "fell off" at the back and the rear bearings fell apart - it was a fun car, but also cheap to fix. The slimline 12band graphic EQ and 4x40Watt booster from Dixons and the Matsui 3 way shelf speakers were pinched and they left the car!!! I had even fitted a centre console with a radio, EQ and booster and tape holder in! They left my Ham International Multimode 2 that was under the switches on the right hand side, but broke the steering lock, surround and ignition switch as I think I disturbed them. The door lock had been "removed" or punched through in to the inside of the door.

The type of alarm you need is the one with the immobiliser that is programmed using switches in the car, so when you get in, to start it you pick a combination such as - left indicator, rear demister, right indicator twice and A/C button BEFORE it will then start the car! No one can guess the combination or start using OBD2 to get the info etc.

Andy, this was news ten years ago. The car makers all denied it. Then they formed a 17 manufacturer group to investigate solutions. That was over six years ago, and they've done nothing yet. Rolling code technology was in widespread use ten years before these hacks--but never used by the auto makers. Mercedes used to make at least one model where the key fob had to be inserted in the dash to start it, because that was a separate infrared coded system, like a tv remote.

Greetings from the US , I have tested the faraday pouches and they do work. they make them with pocketbooks , purses and wallets as well to protect credit card chip readers as well. One thing I did is installed a aftermarket remote relay and put it on my fuel pump module b+ and hid it the the car so I can cut power to the fuel pump. so they might get in and start my car but its not going to drive anywhere and now the are sitting there with a disabled car and most likely want to flee very quickly . Next up , I think I will in addition cut power to the receiver if possible while leaving the alarm active ,so the car will not talk at all . One night my car was parked away from the cars in the supermarket parking lot and a couple of guys parked next to it . I remote started it which change the code on them and they seen me coming and drove off , that's what started this project for me . another min and my Corvette might have been gone.

Presumably they could send a 'wake up' from the car to the fob to get the fob into an active mode thats ready to phase-lock the challenge signal, then issue a challenge and get a response with very predictable latency... the car could then use phase discriminator to ensure there's a direct path with no repeaters. Perhaps that's not reliable in the ISM, but it's surely possible at higher frequencies. Perhaps in the 23cm band and above. Demodulating and remodulating does take a little time and introduces phase shifts - so I'm sure this could be a valid thwart for relay attacks.

Great video, but I think you missed one of the attack scenarios - they will typically use something to block the signal, as per the start of your explanation. When doing that, they can then sniff the alarm fob when the person tries to unlock the car and store it for later (multiple unlock codes are valid at the same time). They will then follow the target vehicle and wait for it to be parked up and locked, then use the saved code to open the car. They then don't have to damage it and just need to get the car started.

In my experience, the car communicates to the key on a low frequency. Usually 125kHz. The key fob to car is on ~433.920 MHz Inside your car example, what you're seeing on the TinySA is the key fob answer the challenge back on UHF. Run a sweep on 125kHz and you'll see the car call the key. 125kHz is used because it's easier to receive by the key than 432 MHz. The 125kHz is received by a passive diode envelope detector. Important given the key fob is on a tiny battery. 👍

The car should transmit a random code that's encrypted so that the keyfob can decode it. The keyfob then sends the same code back to the car re-encrypted so that only the car can decode. Problem solved. The car and the keyfob would require one time programming at the dealer to share each other's encryption keys. It's amazing how little the manufacturers will do to thwart auto theft. Shaking my head. Thanks for bringing this to our attention Andy. People should keep their fobs in Faraday bag at home as a mitigation measure until the manufacturers can figure this rocket science out.

I think that the challenge from the car to the key is on a different frequency (150khz?) much lower and low power to limit the range to inside the car, the signal on the tinysa is the response from the key to the car. Also my Tiguan disables keyless unlocking by pressing lock on the key followed by a touch on the lock point on the door handle. VW have introduced a movement sensor in latest keys that put them to sleep when stationary for a period of time so they cannot respond to this type of attack.

I have a 2023 Kia Telluride and "I think" its beaten the odds. Yes, it has all of the vulnerabilities of the key fob you outlined...but only IF you use the keys...which I don't (they are stored in my home in a faraday box that I have tested and it works). . I put the digital key on my cell phone, which works just like a contactless credit card/RFID communication. So ultra short range and its only active when the key is displayed on the screen...which is even safer than credit cards which can be activated at any time if someone got close enough to you. The car unlocks when you have he key displayed on your screen and touch your phone to the door handle. To start the car, you have to place the phone in a certain position while the key is displayed and voila the car starts. Short of hotwiring the car (if thats still a thing) or breaking into my home and taking the actual keys that I never use, I don't see a way they could steal my new Kia Telluride...though I guess this is my chllenge to Andy to see if I am being overly bold in my positivity. :-)

As a security specialist, I get calls from high end clients such as major hotels who seem to manage to lose 20 customer vehicles at a time and the fix is actually cheap and easy. I always recommend Mylar Ziplock baggies to put customers car keys and key fobs into once the vehicle is parked but getting their employees and business to use this effect tool is another story in itself, meaning, trying to get their valet parking attendants to use these Mylar baggies and tagging the outside of these baggies with the vehicle info is time consuming and I understand. So a real simple fix is rather ingenuous, just simply cut off the AC plug in cable from a discarded microwave oven seems to do the trick for most vehicle alarm systems so the vehicle and the key fob can no longer communicate with each other and can’t be triggered by pulling on the vehicles door handles either. Sometimes the solutions to big problems are rather simple. 👍

its worth noting that some cars with rolling codes are vulnerable to replay attacks so long as a valid code has been captured' and that code has NOT been seen by the vehicle. this is why jamming is so effective. By jamming the fob, and capturing the code, then letting the next code hit the car, the previous code is not marked invalid. so now, all that is left is to replay it.

Thief sits into car & just waits. Owner walks back, coffee in hand & is shocked to see someone sitting in their car. Taps on window.. Key is within range. Thief presses start button, drives off. Bye now. No tech required - the tech crap can be leisurely done in some hidden garage before the vehicle heads off abroad. The "key" can be reproduced easily using readily available kit. The solution is to get someone like me to wire in a hidden kill switch that you hit religiously every time you leave your vehicle. One lo-tech button. Unless they have a tow-truck, they're going nowhere when that switch is off. EVERYTHING else including fancy immoblilisers is just kidding yourself as the thieves have figured them all out ages ago. Looking for a hidden kill-switch is a ball-ache - so they go take easier prey.

Fit a kill-switch & hide it real well - but make it easy to press so you use it. Thank me later./

Moving the fob away from hanging behind the door would help too. The fob to car range is very short for automatic unlocking when you are by the vehicle. If you hang it behind the door (a common place) then forget to lock your door, that is just another way to have the car stolen; if you see videos of people police are looking for, trying doors on a street, it is likely that they are going for car keys rather than burgling while the occupants are home - more gain, less risk.

On VW with keyless entry, if you lock the car with the key-fob lock button, then touch the dimple on the door handle within 5 seconds, it disables keyless entry until the next time you unlock the car (using the unlock button on the key fob)

Andy, does the radio come with the spectrum screen or is a hack? Nice video, thanks for the upload.

If the frequencies are located within the 70cm Amateur Radio band, and you have a licence, it's technically not illegal to jam them, so long as you stay within your power limits and overlay a Morse signal of your callsign or an audio recording announcing it. Such devices will not be listed on the official band plan, so you could easily claim innocence, especially since not many people, including HAMs, know about this!

My old (06) Lexus fob has a inbuilt feature so that the transmitter signal can be turned off completely. initially designed to save battery power when not in use and nowadays makes a nice little security feature.
