We rarely crash systems on takeovers unless really necessary. Codes and tags being main issue and time allowed. We do fully test system and document spared out zones and advise customer of findings. Usually if they're unaware of zone programmed out were put it on test for a week and see what happens. Any faults found are usually chargeable to put right.

Once a code is programmed into a system, you have no control over who can read it (used panels on ebay etc). Hopefully you do not use common codes across all your accounts!!! If every account eng code is specific to the account, it would then be easier to trace the person leaking sensitive company information.

How many codes you decyphered so far?

Do you mean like British Gas and ADT area codes ? if so, someone on their teams are leaking sensitive information, since I've got most of their engineer codes (I think !!)

That's the trouble with area codes, too many people have them.  Single site codes should only need to be known by a limited number of people.

 

I don't know any panels that hold this information with any sort of encryption. Normally just plain ASCII codes in memory.  It's funny when you look at a panel, it will normally have the name of the alarm company programmed in the banner too.

it will, but old school is common engineer/service codes. Its an issue now and decent firms have sorted it or in process
