Remote control protocol reverse engineering

Ytsirk analyzed the remote control protocol from a LED license plate frame using the USB IR Toy. Also check out part I and part II that introduce the hardware. We can’t wait for the next installment that covers reprogramming the marquee with a battery powered IR Toy, it sounds like there’s a lot of potential mischief fun to be had.

  1. In the netherlands the police have civilian cars, when they want to pull you over they use a simular sign (behind the windscreen though).

    I wonder how many people would follow you if you enter the text ‘police follow’ *evil grin*

    Why don’t make the manufacturers it more secure? We hackers need a bigger challenge :P

  2. I wish I could say I was surprised that it wasn’t secured in any way. These frames are really taking off, I seem to see them everywhere lately. I wonder how many owners realize how vulnerable they are.
