How to hack a garage door.

Let s state it again anything can be hacked. Simple garage door hack. Use electrical tape to hold the wires to the contact points inside the garage door opener. There should be the following colors of wires.

Even though that s true we can certainly make it much more difficult. Use the sharp knife to cut off the small square end of the usb cable and strip the wires. Notice there are four bare wires after the sheath is stripped off. The final way in which a garage door can be broken into is not by hacking but by pulling the manual release cord handle on the motor causing the motor to disengage from the door and allowing the door to be opened manually by hand.

The method that samy kamkar used to attack these type of garage doors was a brute force attack in which he sent every possible code 4 096 to the door until it would open. Some older garage door security systems might still allow the old code to be used to get access to the garage. They can then send the copied signal to your garage door opener and open the door. Or almost any garage it s particularly good with fixed code gates and garages.

The device he used to perform this brute force attack was a slightly modified im me children s toy. Please note we have left some aspects out of the video for the protection of the people. Our demonstration is a proof of concept of what could be done if not properly protected by a rolling encryption coded garage door opener. Yes smart garage door openers can be hacked through the wifi network that they are connected to.

Samy proposes other weaknesses with rolling codes. Hackers can use a code grabber device to intercept and copy the signal from your old garage door remote. If a hacker gains access to your wifi network it can access any devices connected to it including your smart garage door opener. This video was sponsored.
