matthew.brough Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 It is potentially an issue but bear in mind this is used just to reset the system. No menu access can be gained with it so its not a security risk Imo. Just a loose urn risk if mr end user can gain access to reset the alarm. www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/ Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/34550-security-of-anti-codes/page/2/#findComment-320987 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybergibbons Posted May 16, 2013 Author Share Posted May 16, 2013 It's a hard one to make better though. If you are limited to 0-9 on 5 digits, it can only be so secure, but a seed at least as long as the reset code would make it better.

I'm surprised the old Redcare remote reset idea where the arc sends a reset command wasn't more popular. www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/ Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/34550-security-of-anti-codes/page/2/#findComment-320991 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrHappy Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 That's interesting. With no seed, the only protection is keeping the executable secret. worse still they give away UDL software to every man & this dog which contains the anticode software too!

matthew.brough Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 worse still they give away UDL software to every man & this dog which contains the anticode software too! That does annoy me a little. Although it seemed a bit heavy handed, technistores more restrictive nature was a preferred option to including the reset tool with UDL software as why does the alarm co really need it? If they are udling to the panel the engineer code will reset anyway so don't see why they need it. www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/ Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/34550-security-of-anti-codes/page/2/#findComment-321000 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybergibbons Posted May 16, 2013 Author Share Posted May 16, 2013 So I guess I need to start ripping UDL software apart now?
