cybergibbons Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 I'd like to properly demonstate that graded wireless alarms aren't immune to jamming and replay attacks. In 2012/2013, I found that a Cooper iON alarm could be jammed and replayed, as it uses 1-waay RF and the protocol seems pretty legacy. What other 1-way alarms are on the market? Texecom is 2-way, Pyronix is 2-way, HKC is 2-way. Quote I have a blog, some of which is about alarm security and reverse engineering:http://cybergibbons.com/
Hillbilly Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 The Risco Gardtec CPX,490 and 600 panels use 1 way detection when you add the wireless receiver to them. 1 Quote

AdrianMealing Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 When you say graded do you mean independently tested against EN standards or self certified? massive difference in my opinion. Quote amealing@texe.com Head of Industry Affairs Visit Our Website Texecom

TBH, I would prefer self-certified, as it shows that self-certification isn't all it's cracked up to be. Is it possible to tell what has been done? To be blunt, I don't understand how some alarms are standards compliant as they just don't seem to detect jamming.

That was my point, self cert is the norm in the UK, people believe what is said, but clearly some product just doesn't meet the requirements of the standards manufacturers claim compliance with.

GalaxyGuy Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 No, Galaxy Alpha peripherals are two way. The panels can accept older V2 peripherals, but Alpha is the recommended protocol. Quote
