Security Tales: The Defenseless “Smart” Lock

[rakhirhif8963]

Hooray! It's Friday! Jim loved the end of the work week, because there were two days off ahead that he could devote to his favorite thing. Actually, he worked in the airport's aviation security system, but his real hobby was opening various locking systems on luggage. In fact, that's why he was kept in security. No need to waste talent.

Jim never used his talent for evil. He generally considered his hobby to be absolutely innocent and normal. After all, his job was to teach new cadets his craft. And since they underwent the most rigorous entrance control for psychological suitability, and then were constantly under the supervision of law enforcement agencies, there had not been a single case where one of his graduates was involved in anything illegal.

And everything would be fine, but today the boss urgently called him to work.

- Jim, you have to show your talent. We have a lock that needs to be opened. Or rather, three locks. The problem is that these are not just locks. These are so-called "smart" devices.

— So what? Smart or not, they're nothing more than devices. Show them, it's Friday. Billy's waiting for me at old McGregor's Drunken Cherry. And I shouldn't be late there. Not only will there be no free seat, but Billy will get completely wasted. I'll have to carry him around later, he's heavy, and my back...

- Then give it up! Big deal! He'll sleep it off and india whatsapp data home on his own.

- Boss! You're weird. Bill's wife, Margaret, is my sister, and she's had a heavy hand since she was a child! Bill and I will get it too. Okay, enough chatter. Where are the locks?

— Here's your first one. The lock on the suitcase. SmartTouch. It's unlocked using an app on your smartphone or a special NFC tag.

— Boss, are you kidding me? Not only can it be opened with the same universal keys we use ourselves. A full set of such keys can either be bought online or simply printed on a 3D printer.

- But we don’t have time today, what should we do?
