Thanks for thr reply! That all makes sense. With the Mazda, I don't think anyone bothered to try to go as far as you did with the software because it was so easy to get wifi turned on, connect, and then let your device try short password after password (and at just three lowercase letters, the result came fast).

Given the reet of the work and your first point, it does seem like yours is the smart choice in this case. I was just surprised you didn't tey bruteforcing via ssh at first.

Thanks for the awesome article by the way! My Mazda got totalled last month, and I got a new 2019 Honda Fit I haven't gotten around to messing with yet. This gives some great ideas for how to proceed.
