Fuel filler neck legit?

You haven't heard of CANBUS attacks then.

I know for a fact SSL used by your browser cannot be broken into except by state entities. Same tech can be used for securing anything else.

Any backdoors would be put into a device by the manufacturer. The reasoning is nothing more than simple profit. Although, backdoors in CPU's would be for national security which is more valuable than profit.

Modern security cannot be broken into without supercomputers. That means the only people who can do it are state entities such as the CIA and MI6, etc.

This is a thread about cars.

They can be broken into by a 14 year old crackhead with a stolen laptop.

They cannot. I have an app for the 14 year olds. They have been unable to break in for 10 years. There is no prospect they ever will. This is actually a problem, because app distribution becomes impossible except at great cost of advertisement.

Since when has a crackhead 14 year old been able to replicate a stolen laptop and distribute it all over the world?

The video is about 2026 cars. So, you could be out of date by 20 years. As a rule, no network connected security systems can be broken into because the master key is physically stored on the manufacturer's property. To compromise that, you have to physically break into that. Modern car-tool laptops are connected systems. These connect to the manufacturer first before being allowed to proceed. Any stolen laptop can then be barred by the manufacturer server. I think MOT test stations work by the same principle and they have been like that for more than 20 years.

I understand modern BMWs are themselves connected to the manufacturers directly at all times. That means if it is the intent of BMW to lock down their modules, they can.

Tell us what 2026 cars can’t be stolen then.

I don't know. I don't have one, or will have one. Tell us, what are the stats? Which is the most stolen?

I had my car for a long time and it was not stolen, get an E46 then if you are worrying about theft. It seems desirable for stealing since I keep getting strangers asking if selling.

 

[JohnD]

But I'm not.

Just to check, why are you pretending you have never heard of CANBUS attacks?

 

[DiyNutJob]

But I'm not.

Not pretending. My car has K-line. I don't even know what k-line is, much less what canbus is. I don't watch TV, and youtube has never recommended k-line nor canbus. So, I am in the dark.

 

[JohnD]

. So, I am in the dark.

So you say you are arguing from a position of ignorance, and you didn't know that a 14 year old crack head can get in and drive away using a stolen laptop.

I will believe it when I see it. I have never had a car stolen nor know anyone who had one stolen. So, the possibility is not something I think about. There are cameras all over London. This could be the reason why theft might be rare.

You plum.
