This is an ongoing battle. And I don't have any answers. We can replace the boxes, but we can't really do much about making them better. We could spend millions trying to make a better box, but right now they cost around $25 to $30 a box and still the owners cry at the horrendous expense. If we were able to make something better, and those boxes cost twice as much, we could never sell them. If #*##*##*##*##*##*##*# did it, everyone would buy ESD and Greenwald cause they were cheaper. If one of them did it, we would be doing handsprings because we know that everyone would buy ours because they were cheaper. Look at how many cars are ripped off each year. So now the upscale car manufacturers are putting in digital keying, Extra keys can cost $350 or mor each, that for ONE key!! The owners are really getting upset over the cost. You have to go to a dealer to get the key. A locksmith can't do most of them. Who is at fault? THe owner? The manufacturer for trying to make a more secure product? The dealer because he has to cover his cost for the expensive Hi tech keys? I have touched on this elsewhere, but it still comes down to the operator/owner making sure his shop is secure. We can only do so much from our end. ANd if someone comes in with powertools, and big prybars, the most expensive locks in the world wont' stop them!! As I was typing this I got a call. Someone took a prybar to his machines so he was looking for a better lock, I pointed out the if the lock had stood up better, they would have wrecked the whole machine with bar, and the damage would have been much greater. You tell me, what can we do that is affordable, and acceptable, and that would stop an attack with tools like those above or the caller with the prybar? Norman |
Just like the How to Pick a Padlock, this method of using a coin operated washing machine for free is so simple it makes you wonder how they would ever collect any money in these machines! Related Filed Under: Tutorials, Videos Tagged With: Hacking, Lock, Security, Tutorials, Videos.
