| >I fail to see how this is news at all. I'd just like to point out both that I forget things some times and other people are new to stuff all the time. So, while it might not be NEWS - it is always good to keep stuff conscious. As an example, I was actively training to lock sport some years ago - but havent done anything in a long time (though I still lie to myself and believe I am into it) - but honestly have never thought of using a secret hidden webcam sized CMOS to zoom in on a lock waiting for the key to arrive. Fuck, that is actually brilliant. Now - instead of anything - I need to worry about a secret camera pointed at a keypad (rather than lock). I ONLY use the keypad to enter my apt building. At my, now previous, office - I have used the keypad to code entry to the door for 10 years. I was caught by some anon who lived in the building and she interrogated me as to who I worked for, why I used the code, why not a key etc... She stated "someone could see you entering that code!" - I replied "I'd see them close to me!" - obviously though I am wrong now. I thought she was a crazy bitch - but thinking of this, now not so much. In fact - a small device with a cam and a 3G card with periodic pic uploads is perfect and can be built for cheap if not on the market. Even my new office has keycode access, where when I went for the interview (over by pixar) I found myself trying to spy on workers of the building entering their codes as they returned from lunch... --- You know what would be an interesting defeat of such attacks: in addition to keycode - you have a timing around the entry. i.e. first keypress, wait 2 seconds, second wait 1, third wait 4.... |
