[ale] Linux based door locks

[DJ-Pfulio]

The DC404 email list might be worth checking out. Picking door locks of any sort are part of what a "red team" does.

>From just lurking, I get the impression that very few electronic door locks are actually secure. That industry has some crazy and terrible ideas when it comes to keyless entry. As with all things security, one-size doesn't fit everyone. The threats and attack vectors are key to understanding what level of effort and cost should be involved. A few hours spent searching, reading, and on youtube watching failed attempts at door security systems won't be wasted.

OTOH, if you are trying to secure the outside shed with a doggy door and 20+ yr old lawn mower that currently has an $8 "Master Lock" (most are trivial to open), have fun and do whatever it is that you prefer.

What is the actual threat model?  Perhaps a $cheap keyless entry system and webcam posting photos over a cellular data connection to a cloudy server you control every 10-30 seconds is the smarter solution? 
A battery powered circular saw can get into most homes in 2 minutes, if noise isn't any concern, but those guys will probably still be caught on video, especially if you have where they'd park in video coverage. DDG: "hacking electronic locks" for fun.

Be careful hooking any lock into any voice activated cloudy "hub". Most IoT systems aren't anywhere near secure and certainly aren't private.
