One of the most striking features of the Samsung Galaxy S8 smartphone is its Irish scanner, which allows you to lock or unlock the phone by scanning the eyes. No password required, no need to even wait for a fingerprint scanner with your finger. The phone will be unlocked just by looking at the screen of the phone. But who knew the security risks involved in that Irish scanner?
Chaos Computer Club hacks Irish scanner of Samsung Galaxy S7 phone, a hacker group from Germany By Showed. They also released a video clip of it Has done.
The members of the hacker group have been able to unlock the phone by fooling the eye scanner sensor of the Samsung Galaxy S8 phone by showing only eye pictures.
The way the Irish scanner of Galaxy S8 has been hacked
The Galaxy S8 phone is registered by scanning a user’s eye so that his Irish scanning can be used to lock / unlock the phone.
A digital camera captures the user’s face in an infrared night-vision mode.
The user’s image is then printed with a laser printer made by Samsung.
The phone is unlocked as soon as the user puts the contact lens on his eye in that image and holds the image in front of the Galaxy S8 phone for 10-15 seconds. Because the system of the phone then looks at the picture of the eyes and thinks that it is really the eyes of the user. Due to the Irish part of the image and the contact lens on it, the biometric system of the Galaxy S8 failed to detect the fake eye.
However, hacking the biometric scanner of the phone has happened many times before.
Chaos Computer Club also hacked the iPhone’s fingerprint scanner. In it, they took a picture of a finger and used that picture as a fingerprint.
