Much like you can hack a million dollar house with a sub-dollar lock pick?

25 jig saw blades for 17.99, less than 1 dollar per pick.

And? How does a jigsaw blade defeat a security system?

https://www.art-of-lockpicking.com/homemade-lock-pick-materi..., but I suspect you just want to focus on "lock pick doesn't work on a Tesla", that's okay too. You can probably break the glass for under a dollar.

No, I was referring to the security system that's likely to be installed in the hypothetical million dollar home upthread.

In what way is breaking the glass on a Tesla considered "hacking," anyway?

Do you think for example most million dollar homes in New York City have "security systems" beyond locks?

Gets you access to the diagnostic port required to complete this attack.

Yes, the point I was trying to make that the large difference in value between tool and target that is implied is completely irrelevant.

Try defeating a security system with no tools, then. Let me know how far you get.

California's median house price is $706,900 [1] so a million-dollar home is only moderately above average.

Simply wait until the house is empty and break a window with a rock. No tools required.

Take 10 minutes to grab whatever valuables motivated you to rob the place, then get out of there. Even if they have a monitored alarm, it doesn't matter because you'll be gone before the response arrives.

I'm gonna be "that guy" and point out that the rock is a tool.

Different alternative would be to watch a street and see who has keys hidden outside. That way you're using part of the system to defeat the system.

Not all million dollar houses have security systems. Multi million ones would though.

> True, but it's still kinda funny to hack a $50K car with a $50 computer.

Once when I was a kid my mum locked her keys in the car and I opened it with a coat hanger.

Not a $50k car, but not a $50 tool either - and more importantly no expertise required.

You can hack any Ford with Securicode by entering a 3200 De Bruijn sequence. No fancy tools required.
