A security researcher published the complex method. Here's how it all works.
, there are still a number of challenges that they would face pulling this method off in the real world. First, the attackers have to find a target that carries their keycard in a predictable pocket. Second, they have to get a smartphone or other NFC-reading device close to the target’s keycard without them noticing—possibly while they’re standing in line for coffee or are otherwise stuck in a queue.
Of course, there are ways to overcome some of these challenges for a motivated hacker. Rodriguez theorizes that the range of the NFC-reading device could be increased from around 2 inches to around 2 feet. Similarly, the Wi-Fi range of the Proxmark can be increased using a Raspberry Pi as a wireless relay. He also thinks it is possible to perform the attack using an internet connection.
Once the car is unlocked, the attacker can hop in and drive off. They aren’t able to restart the car if they stop the engine, so they are most likely going toIf you own a Tesla—or any other car that uses an NFC keycard—you should be aware of this attack, but not overly concerned. This is the kind of thing that can only be pulled off if you are specifically targeted. Regular Tesla drivers going about their business are unlikely to be at much risk.
