In recent days, ms. Wang zinan has discovered that many people on the internet sell “one-size-fits-all remote controls”. The merchant stated that the garage gate, the landing pole and the curtain door could be opened with one key. This is really a "god" remote control? Journalists have investigated it。
All-mighty remote control online
Businesses first make a “declaration of exemption”
On a web-based buying platform, journalists searched using the word “one-size-fits-all remote control” as a keyword, and a large number of related products emerged, at prices ranging from several dollars to several hundred dollars. There are two main types of products: one, which requires reproduction and matching the original remote control signal for use; and the other, which, without matching the original remote control signal, opens the garage gate, the sector rise and fall pole, etc. The latter is described as a “one-size-fits-all remote control”。
Journalists have noticed that a “full channel gate remote control” is sold by an online dealer at a unit price of 50, and that on the sales page it is written that encryption is available, that is, a brand new lifter。
In connection with the sale of the commodity, there are two statements by the merchant, namely, a “declaration of exemption” and a “re-declaration”. The two declarations state that the product should be used primarily for the detection of products in the wireless radio frequency remote control industry or for the preparation of remote control devices by occupational locksmiths, etc., and that it should not be used in various illegal decomposition settings. At the same time, the statement emphasized that the product was available only for security, property, management company personnel, and home remote door matching。
How does the product work? The merchants stated that they had entered the data in advance and that the buyer could open the data directly upon receipt without having to copy the original remote control data. Moreover, the merchant stated that if it was not satisfied with the effects, the goods could be returned without reason within one month。
Most frequency signals are encrypted
There's not much success in opening the gate
With a remote control in hand, we can open the gates, the landing poles, etc., and does that really work? On 30 october, journalists consulted with a number of lock-outs and practitioners。
"some of the equipment works." according to the director of the jenan city locker industry association, the work of the “one-size-fits-all remote control” was to break the password of the original remote control manufacturer and to harmonize the passwords of multiple signals into one device。
The staff of jenan one locked company told the journalists that he had purchased a “one-size-fits-all remote control” and tried it once at the sector gate, but it was unsuccessful。
“these products are very good.” mr. Fu zhao, a lock-opener teacher in chinan, put it bluntly, said that the so-called “one-size-fits-all remote controls” were actually stealing the frequency signals of the original remote control, which were intercepted and copied into his own tool. "many frequency signals were previously unencrypted, so they can be easily intercepted, but now many small areas are encrypted and cannot copy them."
“the success rate of `one-size-fits-all remote controls' is not high and does not guarantee 100% use.” mr. Zhao told journalists that such products had appeared long before 2020 and, if by chance, could have intercepted the original frequency signal and opened the gate, etc。
It has been pointed out by professionals that a “one-size-fits-all remote control” is a signal that directly clones card information. Once duplicated, the original door-ban system becomes non-existent。
Mr. Zhao also referred to another type of product requiring reproduction of the original remote control. He told journalists that the user must have the original remote control in his hands and copy it on a frequency so that the “cloned” remote control can be used, but it does not guarantee 100 per cent success. “no use of these products is recommended, and if a parking lot or a small area garage requires a charge, the owner of the vehicle may be involved in avoiding the charge.”
Production and sale of “one-size-fits-all remote controls”
Or suspected of breaking the law
Is it legal for internet platforms to sell universal remote controls publicly? Mr. Tin fuyo, a lawyer at the law firm of xianqian island (zinan) in shandong state, explained that article 285 of the criminal code of the people's republic of china explicitly prohibits “tools specifically designed for intrusion into and illegal control of computer information systems” and that the production and sale of goods by businesses is already suspected of being illegal. Platform parties are also held accountable for failing to meet their audit and regulatory obligations。
According to din fouyoo, a number of merchants appear on the sales page to indicate so-called waivers, such as “do not use them to break the law”, more like “knowingly” or would incur criminal liability. In the case of purchasers, criminal liability will also be imposed under the law, if the purchased tools are used to evade parking fees, etc., once the amount meets the criteria for filing a case for theft。
