The qianyuan electronic safe deposit box was opened in this way (the security of the electronic safe deposit box)
With the popularization of electronic safes, more and more people have begun to pay attention to the security of electronic safes. Recently, security researchers have exposed a method to crack electronic safes. Let's take a look at it.
High reward for cheap attacks
There are many safe deposit boxes, such as the electronic password safe, mechanical password safe, car safe, fingerprint safe, and so on. In particular, fingerprint coffers have been favored by more and more people in recent years. As the name suggests, fingerprint coffers use fingerprint locks. It is worth noting that they do not need to remember the password and break the traditional password lock mode, you can open the door with just one click on your fingers, and it is increasingly common.
HandgunSafeResearch is a website that studies and keeps the firearms safe and discovers security vulnerabilities. The latest target of their tests is GunVault GVB1000, which is mainly used to keep guns. The current price is about $340 (310 Euro ), it is also a bioidentification gun cabinet (mainly fingerprint recognition ). Built-in protective foam lining interior, tamper-resistant spring doors, 16 steel case audio and LED low-power warning, and battery-powered portability are provided. Of course, biometric electronic devices need power supply. Of course, in some cases, the built-in batteries may be powered off and the power supply may be cut off, so there will also be a backup system-a mechanical lock with a key.
No official reply
Of course, this design is not useless. Once the robbers cut off the electricity and rush into the house, you need a weapon or you need to take some valuables from the safe and the result is no electricity, or your hand is hurt. Of course, there is no mechanical lock in this case.
Unfortunately, HandgunSafeResearch security researchers have discovered security issues with the standby system. Attackers can use the clip pin to open the mechanical lock of the safe through the vent hole next to the safe. Of course, this attack is quite low.
HandgunSafeResearch Tester:
"Now I have not caused any damage to this electronic device, and the mechanical lock parts have not been damaged. The fingerprint identification device can still work and the safe door can still be normally closed, if I pull the clip, there is no indication of how I obtain access permissions."
At present, there is no official reply to this question, and there is still a speculation that the method of exhaust hole and lock design is so close as not an unexpected error, instead, the safe can still be opened when both the key and the electronic lock cannot work.
