I’m very confused with your comments, Cyber. I made my post on the understanding that you worked for Pen Test Partners. Do you not? Your original post says
we’ve made a blog post that you then link to:
https://www.pentestpartners.com/blog/alarm-systems-alarmingly-insecure-oh-the-irony by Andrew Tierney. You also stated that
your company had held a seminar on this topic.
Am I wrong? You clearly haven’t read your own blog, and obviously don’t understand the technical details and images in it. All the technical comments I made relate directly to your blog and the Strasser, Danev and Capkun paper
that you link to (just below the reactive bit jamming signal trace). The penetration testing that your company undertakes is extremely technical and the guys get paid a lot. That’s why I alluded to you being a marketeer selling things you don’t fully understand in order to sell through fear. Fear, uncertainty, doubt. FUD. Isn’t the true irony that you’re selling something you don’t understand?
If you understand any of your own blog, I apologise and humbly take all this back with my tail firmly between my legs.
My position remains the same. I think that we should defend against JohnD’s
14 year old smack head with an old screwdriver rather than some James Bond character with a laptop and directional antenna. If I'm wrong, show us police statistics...
