    To be fair, I think we ignore the security of physical locks. Atleast one must get physical access to the lock in order to pick it.

    Or even password books. Atleast someone has to get physical access to said book, which requires knowing it exists in the first place.

    Does that make them better? No, not imo, but it is an aspect of these things that often gets overlooked

      It’s a fair point, but if we’re taking about cars, I’d say physical access is a given. Keyless vehicles haven’t quite enabled remote car thefts just yet

        I’d also like to point out that most modern vehicles use rolling codes to prevent replay attacks. I’ve only recently learned this as I was concerned about devices like the Flipper making these sorts of techniques to people that otherwise would lack the expertise to put such a device together themselves
