What is your question?I'm unsurprised you won't answer the questions.
Don't be, he is notorious for it..I'm unsurprised you won't answer the questions.
It's possible that there is somebody, somewhere, who claims that a budget DIY tools works to the same standards as an expensive professional one. However I have never met this person.
So all the more expensive alarms with things like 2-way RF, encryption, frequency hopping, active detector polling - all a scam?
I recognise there are people who have a more limited budget, so there is no point in trying to talk them into spending more than they can afford. I have at times been in that position myself.
Please give me one example of a burglar caught with one of these boards on their person. Just one please. That's all, then we can justifiably be worried about this new tech crime. Just one example...
Exactly! You've hit the nail on the head with a whopping great sledge hammer. It's a breakout board. That is the main argument of this thread and the reason for my rebuke of the original post. Yet the ARF is what Mr Gibbons is asking us to believe that [stupid] is going to use against your gran's wireless alarm. His article gives details of how to use the Python programming language and a linux based laptop with directional antennas to confuse the error correction code of wireless packets. Perhaps the burglar will perform this cyber crime after enjoying his £7.50 mocca chocca breakfast coffee, before taking up his day job at a financial trading floor in the City of London. A kind of Pierce Brosnan /Thomas Crown kinda guy. Sexy.That particular board requires support circuitry to be added
You have mis read his intent. Cybergibbons was pointing out that even the most sophisticated alarm system that uses wireless for critical communications can be defeated. Yes it will take a lot of expertise and ( expensive ) equipment but it is possible. He was not in any way suggesting that the average burglar would use ( or even have access to ) the type of equipment needed to hack a sophisticated system.Yet the ARF is what Mr Gibbons is asking us to believe that [stupid] is going to use against your gran's wireless alarm.
