Subaru's company motto is, "Confidence in Motion." However, confidence in how secure your Subaru might be another question altogether. One enterprising Dutch electronics wiz has found that the "rolling codes" used by most key fobs are not rolling at all with some Sabaru models. Instead of actually rolling these codes are incremental. That means all you have to do to figure out the next needed code is to intercept the previous one. All this requires about $25 worth of commonly sold electronics and a bit of code which has now been made public. Tom Wimmenhove's video is below. Thanks cageymaru.
Check out the video.
The exploit has only been tested on a 2009 Subaru Forester but the same fob is used, and the exploit should work on, the following vehicles: 2006 Subaru Baja - 2005 - 2010 Subaru Forester - 2004 - 2011 Subaru Impreza - 2005 - 2010 Subaru Legacy - 2005 - 2010 Subaru Outback
