Ever wanted to feel like one of those movie hackers from the late 90s? Yes, your basement’s full of overclocked Linux rigs and you’ve made sure all your terminal windows are set to green text on a black background, but that’s not always enough. What you need is an RFID tag that unlocks your PC when you touch the reader with your RFID card. Only then may you resume blasting away at your many keyboards in your valiant attempts to hack the mainframe.
[Luke] brings us this build, having wanted an easier way to log in quickly without foregoing basic …read more
Security breaches are increasingly affecting organizations across various domains as they heavily rely on technologies to reduce the operational costs and improve the work efficiency. The United States is the world leader in data breach incidents. Acco… Continue reading What Is RFID Skimming?
We opened a can of worms when we wrote about NFC card skimming last week – so here’s a live discussion of the controversy we stirred up… Continue reading NFC card skimming – is it really a thing? [VIDEO]
Pick a card, any card. [Andrew Quitmeyer] and [Madeline Schwartzman] make sure that any card you pick will match their NYC art installation. “Replantment” is an interactive art installation which invites guests to view full-size leaf molds from around the world.
A receipt file with leaf images is kept out of range in this art installation. When a viewer selects one, and carries it to the viewing area, an RFID reader tells an Arduino which tag has been detected. Solid-state relays control two recycled clothing conveyors draped with clear curtains. The simple units used to be back-and-forth control but through …read more
Can the person squashed up against you on the train read your credit card without you realising? If so, what can you do about it? Continue reading Does your credit card need a tinfoil hat to keep it safe on the train?
According to me, active RFID tags are more likely to suffer from a security attack (i.e. the risk is higher) than passive tags because active tags manifest their presence themselves in their neighbourhood without needing that… Continue reading Are active tags more vulnerable than passive ones?
One of Atmel’s smallest microcontrollers, the ATtiny, is among the most inexpensive and reliable chips around for small applications. It’s also one of the most popular. If you don’t need more than a few inputs or outputs, there’s nothing better. As a show of its ability to thrive under adverse conditions, [Trammell Hudson] was able to shoehorn an ATtiny into an RFID circuit in a way that tests the limits of the chip design.
The RFID circuit only uses two of the ATtiny’s pins and neither of which is the ground or power pin. The ATtiny is equipped with protective …read more

Show of hands: how many of you have parked your car in the driveway, walked up to your house, and pressed your car’s key fob button thinking it would open the front door? We’ve probably all done it and felt a little dopey as a result, but when you think about it, it would be tremendously convenient, especially with grocery bags dangling off each arm and the mail clenched between your teeth. After all, we’re living in the future — shouldn’t your house be smart enough to know when you’re home?
Reverse engineer par excellence Samy Kamkar might think so, …read more
