HOW TO HACK SIMPLISAFE HOME DEVICES
By senior security specialist at IOActive Andrew Zonenberg, who found this shortcoming, anybody with essential equipment and programming, in the middle of $50 and $250, can reap alert's PIN and turn caution OFF at a separation of up to 200 yards (30 meters) away.
Subsequent to SimpliSafe Alarm utilizes decoded interchanges over the air, criminal dallying almost a home with some radio gear could sniff the decoded PIN messages exchanged from a keypad to the alert control box when the house proprietor deactivates the caution.
The assailant then records the PIN code on the microcontroller board's memory (RAM) and later replay this PIN code to handicap the traded off alert and complete thefts when the proprietors are out of their homes.
