The TCB has not been modified - that's the point of that attack. Its just physically elsewhere. A high 24 dBi high gain antennae to close that gap costs 70 EUR and you would attest the device in the attackers hands, not the one in front of you.

I think some of those hardware attestation thingies use clocks and tight latency jitter bounds to make replay attacks harder. If it takes more than "2 x time light takes to move 10 ft + deterministic delay from the other side", or less than the deterministic delay, then they refuse to unlock.

Some cars even get this right these days. Most don't.
