Spoof a Skimmer for Peace of Mind

Posted on by

It’s a sad commentary on the state of the world when it becomes a good practice to closely inspect the card reader on every ATM and gas pump for the presence of a skimmer. The trouble is, even physically yanking on the reader may not be enough, as more sophisticated skimmers now reside safely inside the device, sipping on the serial comms output of the reader and caching it for later pickup via Bluetooth. Devilishly clever stuff.

Luckily, there’s an app to detect these devices, and the prudent consumer might take solace when a quick scan of the area reveals …read more

Securing bluetooth connections between Arduino-style devices and "other" systems

Posted on by

EDIT: TL;DR: If I wish to ensure that an Arduino cannot be paired with a “rogue” device, and that all data between that arduino and an “approved” device is secure, which libraries should I use or where should I start learning… Continue reading Securing bluetooth connections between Arduino-style devices and "other" systems→

I have a project that requires secure connectivity between an arduino and a second device via bluetooth.

I wish to avoid the recent issues in the press of allowing unauthorised devices to attempt to pair with my arduino, and… Continue reading Securing bluetooth connections between Arduino-style devices and "other" systems [on hold]→

NODECONF EU HACKABLE BADGE

Posted on by

During conferences, a name-tag is one of the first things people look at when bumping in to others – mentally trying to keep track of faces and names. But gone are the days when your name tag was a post-it stuck on your arm. Over the years, conference badges have become increasingly interesting and complex. Hackable electronic badges are becoming the norm, and not just at hardware cons. For the recently concluded NodeConfEU conference in Ireland, [Gordon Williams], of Espruino fame, designed a JavaScript centric hackable badge.

Bluetooth Bedroom Clock!

Posted on by

When [decino]’s old bedroom clock finally bit the dust, he built himself a new one from scratch for fun and functionality.

Initially, he wanted to solder Adafruit NeoPixel lights onto four prototype boards, using a mini-USB for power and a DS1307 to keep the time. However, after soldering the board for the first digit and realizing that carrying on with the other three would be a huge pain, he switched to etching the boards instead — a far more efficient solution. In keeping with this time-saving mindset, he added a Bluetooth module that would allow him to update the clock …read more
