Security maverick Marc Tobias showed hackers, how simple it is to defeat some of the worlds top high-tech locks. These locks may be award winning but they are forgetting the basics. They might be clever but they aren't secure.
"It is very clever, but it is also very defective"A Biolock model 333 designed to scan fingerprints and unlock for chosen people was opened by simply pushing a paper paper clip into key slot.
An Amsec ES1014 digital safe was breached by sliding a flat metal file hangar through a crack at the edge of the door and pressing a button allowing a access code to reset.....
Tobias grew passionate when it came to an Award Winning electromagnetic lock made in China for for Finland based iLoq. The innovative iLoq used the action of a key being pushed into the lock to generate power for electronics that then checked data in a chip on the key to determine whether the user is cleared for access. Tobias and lock-cracking colleague Tobias Bluzmanis pointed out that the iLoq design counted on a small hook being tripped to reset the devices as a key was removed.
In what they reffered to as a viable inside attack possible on locks greard for official settings, someone could borrow a key and shave tiny bit of metal from the tip and it would no longer catch the iLoq reset hook.
A pocket sized tool available on US markets for about $60. Approx. INR 2,700.
