Signal Amplification Relay Attack (SARA)

Too Long; Didn't Read

During “Hacker Week” in Las Vegas, thousands of information security professionals that include actual hackers, converge. It is best to be alert since there are bad actors who have rogue intentions. Finding victims can be easy when there is no awareness of the imminent threats. With that said, car hacking has become more commonplace in recent years, due to the increased integration with electronic systems that include the car’s own lock system. With keyless entry systems, it uses wireless or radio signals to unlock the car. These signals can in turn be intercepted and used to break into the car and even start it. One such technique is called SARA or Signal Amplification Relay Attack.
