Comment on Wrench Attacks: Physical attacks targeting cryptocurrency users (2024) [pdf]parent

Comments

The alt text does say "Also, I would be hard-pressed to find that wrench for $5." so I guess even at the time without inflation it wasn't really possible

For Americans now difficult. Rest of the world can still order cheaply in China ;)

Maybe those orders should be limited given how the tools have no other valid use than password extraction

You speak with the same sort of hard-earned wisdom of someone who has also snapped a few cheap wrenches in half.
