now days it is taboo to even associate oneself with the word. It is unfortunate that the true meaning of the word hack has been HACKED by our media. I never seen so much splitting of hairs on a HAD post surrounding the legitimacy of a “hack” - but i am somewhat new to this online community but far from new when it comes to both hardware and software and network hacks. ![]() Posted in Robots Hacks, Security Hacks Tagged brute force, garmin, gps, robot, security Post bates - that is well put and i agree 100% You can check out the brute force robot in action after the break. It only took a couple of hours for the robot to enter the right code we’d call that time well spent. It takes around 8 seconds for ’s robot to enter a single code, so entering all 10,000 PINs will take about a day and a half.įortunately, the people who enter these codes don’t care too much about the security of their GPS devices. A clever little device made out of an eraser tip and a servo taps out every code from 0000 to 9999 and waits a bit to see if the device unlocks. The robot is built around an old HP scanner and a DVD drive sled to move the GPS in the X and Y axes. Not wanting to let his auction windfall go to waste, rigged up an automated brute force cracking robot to unlock this GPS. ![]() One of the more frustrating features ran into is it’s PIN code this GPS can’t be unlocked unless a four-digit code is entered, or it’s taken to a ‘safe location’. Picked up a Garmin Nuvi 780 GPS from an auction recently.
