Hacking at the Hotel

A recent article on Wired talks about hacking hotel systems, but what I think is more important is the line that says how everyone assumes that IR remotes are secure.  I can say with conviction that these kinds of assumptions account for virtually all of the lapses in security I encounter in my travels.  Assumption is death when it comes to security in everything from preventing SQL Injection to ensuring you locked the doors at night.

Think about your assumptions.
