Pandora Code Grabbers
Code grabber Pandora
A code grabber is a device that can intercept a radio signal from a car remote control. When the owner presses the button on the key to lock or unlock the car, the device captures the signal and records it in its memory, after which the grabber becomes a clone of the key, opening and closing the car on its own. The owner may not even notice that someone has already gained access to his car. Only modern dialogue security systems are protected by code grabbers for barriers, doors and cars.
Code grabbers should not be used for illegal purposes! If you have a modern car, it will be difficult for a code grabber to recognize the numbers generated by randomly entering a code. For this reason, the codes are also encrypted, so each electronic key has billions of possible codes.
The main models of code grabbers are found in the housings of ordinary car keys:
• Scher-Khan Codegrabber
• Pandora Codegrabber p. 24
• Sheriff Code Grabber
• Alfa Code Grabber
• Codegrabber DXL5000
•Fantom code grabber
However, no security system is completely reliable. In 2007, a group of researchers discovered a vulnerability in the algorithm that almost all car manufacturers use to encrypt their security codes. Using this vulnerability, they found that they could unlock any car manufactured by that manufacturer with just one of their keys.
Key features and price of code grabbers:
1. High-performance hardware and software platform.
2. Algorithm for processing signals with any encoding, length and complexity, providing coverage of practically any automatic system.
LED display mainly for:
3. mode selection;
4. scan time;
5. type of active system;
6. selection of a memory cell name.
Performance characteristics:
7. Can work at low temperatures.
8. Highly sensitive radio unit with telescopic antenna.
9. Memory block for 50 cells.
10. Built-in lithium-ion battery (10 hours of active operation and more than a month in standby mode).
11. Ability to capture the most common remote controls.
12. Operating range 315.0; 433.92; 434.4; 868.35; and 300-900 MHz (any frequency).
13. Operating range 50 — 100 m.
The price varies depending on the configuration of the device.
Can a code grabber open any alarm system?
No, this is not true. Some alarms have good protection against interception of the signal from a code grabber. Modern keyless entry systems operate at a frequency of 300 to 400 MHz. If your key sends a signal, your car can be hacked using the key fob.
Every time you press the button to unlock your car, the exact frequency transmitted by the key changes, and the receiver in your car only picks up that specific signal. In other words, the code “jumps” every time you use it. With rolling codes, the signal is unique each time, making the code grabber useless, so modern cars cannot be hacked with a code grabber.
Older car security systems, however, are vulnerable to hacking. A code grabber can’t open every alarm, but most models can capture the code and unlock the factory security system on many different makes and models of cars, as well as block two-way key play.
