Collaborate Disseminate
If home automation in the IoT era has taught us anything, it is that no one wants to run wires. Many of us rent, so new cabling is not even an option, even if we wanted to go that route. If you want a unique sensor, you have to build …read more
Researchers use malicious NFC tags and booby-trapped physical surfaces to connect Android devices to malicious wireless networks. Continue reading Tap ‘n Ghost Attack Creatively Targets Android Devices
Near-field communication (NFC) is a set of protocols that enables two electronic devices to establish communication by bringing them very close together. Usually the devices must be within less than 4cm. Contactless payment systems use NFC devices, inc… Continue reading NFCdrip: Data Exfiltration Research in Near Field Communication
I learned the hard way that information security is a double-edged sword. Continue reading How I Lost and Regained Control of My Microchip Implant
Air-gapping means physically isolating a secure computer from unsecured networks, such as the public Internet or an unsecured local area network. The concept of air-gapping represents just about the maximum protection one network can have from another,… Continue reading Meet NFCdrip – a New Security Concern for Air-Gapped Systems
Google is warning a critical vulnerability found in its Media Framework warrants extra attention by security minded Android users. Continue reading Google Patches 11 Critical Bugs in March Android Security Bulletin
The head of our IT department and Networking class in my college has given me and another student a challenge; he told us that if we could clone the NFC tags in our student ID’s used to sign in on time, he would give one of … Continue reading Can a student ID containing an NFC chip be cloned?
Let’s say a pentester Gained access to the SQL database with all the target’s Card ids and extracted it
Would the pentester still be able to clone the cards from the Database file
And how would he be doing that what methods… Continue reading Cloning RFID Cards via card ID
I am doing thesis on “NFC relay attack” in my BSc last year. I have studied 10-15 papers and learned the basics of NFC and relay attack. Still I am no where near to understand how relay attack is performed on NFC and how the … Continue reading What should I know to prevent relay attack on NFC?
Near Field Communication (NFC) is something we take for granted these days. Nearly all smartphones have it. We even have NFC interfaces for all our favorite development boards. NFC’s history goes back all the way to 1997, when an early version was used in Star Wars special edition toys. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), which NFC builds on, goes back even further. The patent citation trail leads all the way back to 1983 in a patent awarded to [Charles Walton]. NFC is much more than RFID though. The idea of two way communication between devices opens up tons of possibilities for …read more
