Security experts reveal $40 device that would allow thieves to wirelessly unlock nearly every Volkswagen made since 1995
Audi, VW, and Škoda among models at risk of being wirelessly hacked
One attack pulls a shared key value from one vehicle that opens others
The other hack uses eight rolling codes to discover the owner's codes
Both attacks are conducted with a battery-powered radio and RF module
If you purchased a vehicle from Volkswagen Group after 1995, your car's security may be in jeopardy.
Researchers reveal a majority of the 100 million vehicles sold from this time are vulnerable to key-clone attacks, allowing hackers to infiltrate keyless entry and ignition systems.
These attacks can be carried out using battery-powered radios that intercept signals from the car owner's key fob, which are then used to reproduce the key.
Researchers reveal a majority of the 100 million vehicles from Volkswagen Group sold from 1996 are vulnerable to key-clone attacks, allowing hackers to infiltrate keyless entry and ignition systems
Vehicles vulnerable to this attack include Audi, VW, Seat and Škoda models and flaws were also detected in car models as recent as the Audi Q3 2016.
'There are still some VW car models being sold that are not on the latest platform and which remain vulnerable to attack,' Flavio Garcia, co-author of the report and a senior lecturer in computer security at University of Birmingham, told Reuters.
Garcia and his team, in collaboration with German security firm Kasper & Oswald, were set to unveil these vulnerabilities in 2013, but had to refrain from moving forward for two years after they were hit with a lawsuit, reports Wired.
However, this week the duo was able to release their study to the public.
'We show that the security of the keyless entry systems of most VW Group vehicles manufactured between 1995 and today relies on a few, global master keys,' the write.
'We show that by recovering the cryptographic algorithms and keys from electronic control units, an adversary is able to clone a VW Group remote control and gain unauthorized access to a vehicle by eavesdropping a single signal sent by the original remote.'
HOW ARE HACKERS INFILTRATING THE VEHICLES?
Researchers believed that a majority of the 100 million Volkswagen vehicles sold from this time are vulnerable to key-clone attacks, allowing hackers to infiltrate keyless entry and ignition systems.
The team found two ways thieves can attacked these cars.
The first is by locating a mechanism inside the vehicles internal network to pull a single cryptographic key value that is shared among millions of others Volkswagens.
However, the thief has to be within 300 feet of the target.
Hackers manipulate HiTag2 remote to recover the cyrtographic key, which is then used to clone the remote control with four to eight rolling codes - all within a few minutes of computation on a laptop.
Both hacks can be carried out using a $40 battery-powered radio setup.
The study expresses two specific attacks that hackers can carry out with the flawed VW vehicles, the first being that these faceless thieves can wirelessly unlock just about every vehicle from the past 11 years, which has been found in makes like Audi and Škoda.
And the second has been found to affect 'millions more, Alfa Romeo, Citroen, Fiat, Ford, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Opel, and Peugeot'.
Although it may seem like a costly and tiring process, both attacks can be carried out with cheap, easily available battery-powered radios and RF modules. The team was able to construct their own device (pictured) that costs just $40

Although it may seem like a costly and tiring process, both attacks can be carried out with cheap, easily available battery-powered radios and RF modules.
The team was able to construct their own device that costs just $40.
For the first attack, the researchers found that with some 'tedious reverse engineering' a mechanism inside the vehicle's internal network is so flawed, hackers can pull a single cryptographic key value that is shared among millions of others Volkswagens.
This offense is not a simple job, as the researchers explain it requires that the hacker's interception equipment be within 300 feet of the target car.
And even though these thieves can pull a shared key value from one car, it doesn't mean it will work in others – there are unique keys for different years and models of Volkswagens that can also be stored in different components inside the vehicle.
The researchers say if hackers are skilled enough to locate this information, they can put 'tens of millions of vehicles' at risk.
Vehicles vulnerable to this attack include Audi, VW, Seat and Škoda models and flaws were also detected in car models as recent as the Audi Q3 2016. Pictured are the main componets of a keyless device
However, the team did find that the Golf 7 Model and other vehicles with the same locking system have been built with unique keys, making this attack useless.
The second attack, called HiTag2, infiltrates HiTag2 remote keyless entry systems used in older models of other auto makers, running on circuits produced by Dutch-American chipmaker NXPallows
Thieves recover the cryptographic key, which is then used to clone the remote control with four to eight rolling codes - all within a few minutes of computation on a laptop, explains the study.
Provaljena vozila VW grupe kao najnebezbednija na svetu - tj auta VW grupe moze da otkljuca i upali skoro svaki haker sa uredjajem koji kosta samo $40 dolara....
