- SantaClauz, on 04/07/2008, -6/+151WHY IS HALF OF your description in caps?
- cr3ative, on 04/07/2008, -3/+80BECAUSE YOU CAN TELL HE WAS FURIOUSLY MASTUrbating at the start of the sentence, then calmed down midway.
- NewSc2, on 04/07/2008, -0/+56Unfortunately, locksmiths cracked that code a long time ago...
- polywaffle, on 04/07/2008, -4/+55I USE CAPS TO EMPHASIZE MY RAGE
- NinjaPirateDude, on 04/07/2008, -5/+49luckily for me, i use this special technology, you may have heard of it, it is sometimes known as "keys".......
- AgentOrn, on 04/07/2008, -10/+36CAPS LOCK: Cruse control for awesome.
- frogman54, on 04/07/2008, -0/+26I just leave a dead cat in the passenger seat. My car has never been stolen.
- ayeroxor, on 04/07/2008, -2/+24Because that's how science works, you stupid *****.
- ayeroxor, on 04/07/2008, -0/+21'Electronic Blipper'? Grandma, is that you?
- EpicSelekta, on 04/07/2008, -2/+22The fact that the entire planet already learned not to trust them.
- wtfunkymonkey, on 04/07/2008, -3/+20Because the submitter, like nearly all submitters to digg, simply copy and paste from the articles they submit rather than writing a summary or tag line of their own. Lack of creativity, laziness, or simply wanting to be first; who knows.
- carnag3aus, on 04/07/2008, -10/+27THERE WAS A ***** PROBLEM COMPLETING YOUR ***** REQUEST! PLEASE ***** RELOAD AND TRY AGAIN!
DIGG NOT ***** SAVED, PLEASE RELOAD THE ***** PAGE AND TRY AGAIN! - HonoredMule, on 04/07/2008, -0/+15Security by obscurity is no security at all. Nothing has really changed except the attention that will go into fixing the problem.
- ProfessorLX, on 04/07/2008, -0/+14SPELLING: Cruise control for the educated.
- CTK14A, on 04/07/2008, -0/+13And if that doesn't work there's always a nice heavy brick.
- Shadowgamers, on 04/07/2008, -2/+15First biometric passports, now garage doors? What's to stop these Germans from taking over the world?
- albinorhino101, on 04/07/2008, -0/+10The one with more valuables inside?
- ElbertF, on 04/07/2008, -0/+10Wow you cracked the algorithm!
- zspeed78, on 04/07/2008, -1/+11Oh give me a break, AAA opened my door once in 30 seconds, and on a 99 BMW in about 2 minutes (which he stated was hard and he hadnt had much practice on).
Crooks in Oakland arent going to buy some device, theyre using a hammer for the window or whatever kit AAA has. - eightfivezero, on 04/07/2008, -1/+11That code got cracked a long time ago already. Plus, usually car thieves use jammers to prevent the car from getting locked up in the first place.
- bat-21, on 04/07/2008, -1/+10Best anti-theft device: hidden kill switch. It's simple, cheap and effective.
- zantos420, on 04/07/2008, -1/+10i thought it was actually two-sentences-in-one that way...
1: "IT'S THE WORST NIGHTMARE OF THE REMOTE-CONTROL AGE - GERMAN SCIENTISTS"
2: "GERMAN SCIENTISTS claim to have cracked the code of the electronic blipper that locks and unlocks cars and garage doors." - mali1, on 04/07/2008, -0/+7I tried to digg you up but it said "There was a problem completing your request. Please reload the page and try again."
- kevro, on 04/07/2008, -0/+7Tennis ball
- grumpyrain, on 04/07/2008, -1/+8Yes, obscurity and ignorance makes you secure.
- drmangrum, on 04/07/2008, -0/+7Crimals broke most security systems ages ago. Called them bricks.
- jeremyduffy, on 04/07/2008, -0/+6Best security system ever... crappy car :)
- Coopjust, on 04/07/2008, -0/+5No, not just him. I had it happen to me last night on several occasions. Digg has been buggy recently, possibly as a result of too much traffic.
And, while trying to submit this comment: "There was a problem completing your request. Please reload the page and try again." - bradleyland, on 04/07/2008, -0/+5Better plan?
1) Crack code
2) Don't announce
3) Attack leaks to criminal populace
4) Public pwnd
At least now we can rig our cars with flame throwers and explosive ejector seats. - inactive, on 04/07/2008, -1/+6Well, usually I hear my horn honking when I lock my doors with the remote. Radio jamming = No Locking = No Horn = Me locking the doors myself.
If people can't figure out that relationship, then they deserve to have their cars broken into. - jeremyduffy, on 04/07/2008, -0/+5Because as time progresses, other researchers with less morals or criminal organizations will find the vulnerability on their own. Even if the company that produces the product learns of the vulnerability, they won't disclose it risking their bottom line even if it's being exploited daily by criminals. Forcing awareness and change is for the betterment of all of us (and prevents the scumsucking weasels of companies from feeding us garbage products while blaming their failures on "clever car thieves" instead of "our worthless product")
- iloveazngurlzs, on 04/07/2008, -1/+6oh, the hours of fun to be had!
- nevpayne, on 04/07/2008, -1/+5Those crazy GERMAN SCIENTISTS... not just any old Germans but CAPITAL GERMANS.
- pinchduck, on 04/07/2008, -0/+4Criminals in Detroit figured out a work around years ago. They just use a tow truck.
- raptordrew, on 04/07/2008, -0/+4Lame, this is old news - hasn't anyone watched Pete and Pete?
- bradleyland, on 04/07/2008, -0/+4I prefer the Gordon Freeman universal key system.
http://www.myconfinedspace.com/watermark.php?src=w ... - OnAnyMouse, on 04/07/2008, -0/+4I SURE AM GLAD THAT THEY WERE SCIENTISTS BECAUSE IF THEY WERE HACKERS THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN bad.

There, fixed that for you. - EpicSelekta, on 04/07/2008, -3/+7This is good. Things like this are almost always the impetus to make something better.
Also, props to Honda and Volvo for bothering to comment on this! - trispear, on 04/07/2008, -1/+5(They listed Honda as one of the manufacturers using this tech), then:
"If the claims are correct, it could pose a major headache for the car companies, whose keyless entry systems are becoming increasingly more common in their high-end marques."
High end? What? My 2007 Honda Fit has keyless entry. I'm not too concerned, any cop can open my door in 2 minutes, I assume thieves can do the same on traditional cars and keyless entry ones as well. Maybe time to get a lojack. Or stick it out and hope the numbers game means I'm not going to victimized. - inactive, on 04/07/2008, -1/+5Is it really. I mean to be honest, I always saw keyless entry for automobiles as a matter of convenience, not security. If someone wants into my vehicle, they can just as easily smash the window out.
Anyone leaving valuables in a vehicle is just asking for trouble. Anyone asking for security from something that can just as easily be lost or stolen is also being foolish. - N00F, on 04/07/2008, -0/+4If man can make it, man can break it.
- Rozza, on 04/07/2008, -0/+4is it just me or is this whole page in italics?
- charlietuna, on 04/07/2008, -1/+5Google "lock bumping".
- ultraJesus, on 04/07/2008, -0/+3Good thing my car doesn't have one of those things.....
since its 18 years old and barely runs anymore. - stronglikedan, on 04/07/2008, -1/+4WHY DO YOU post before RTFA?
- and303, on 04/07/2008, -0/+3That was just IR cloning. Try reading the article.
- jamesdew, on 04/07/2008, -1/+4a brick will allow access to your car
- ksound, on 04/07/2008, -0/+3Unfortunately the article does not mention the fact that the Belgian University of Leuven also broke Keeloq (http://www.cosic.esat.kuleuven.be/keeloq/) a few months back. At Leuven university they broke it using only the signal sent out by the key where as in Germany they directly attacked the hardware chip.
- kravex, on 04/07/2008, -0/+3Would this be the same 'scientists' who invented it in the first place?
