Finding out you’ve got a flat tyres halfway into a long ride is a frustrating experience for a cyclist. Maintaining the
correct tyre pressures is key to a good ride, whether you’re stacking up the miles on the road or tackling tricky single track in the mountains. [CaptMcAllister] has put …read more
Among Us is a hit game of deception and intrigue. Those who have played it know the frustration of trying to complete some of the intentionally difficult tasks onboard the Skeld. [Zach Freedman] decided to recreate some of these in real life.
[Zach] built what are arguably the three most …read more

Firstly, I assume it’s possible to passively read the encrypted data from a ePassport NFC chip?
All of the NFC scanning apps fail to load anything without the BAC. We are not interested in the encrypted data and don’t require the BAC.
One … Continue reading Any NFC readers (Android or iOS) able to access the ePassport raw (still encrypted) data e.g. without the Basic Access Control (BAC)?
I’ve come across several papers introducing the concept of mutual distance-bounding, where basically both sides can verify an upper bound of the distance in between, rather than having this unilateral relationship between a verifier and a … Continue reading How is the timer implemented in mutual distance-bounding protocols?
I need to do DYNAMIC analysis of my app on a physical Android device rather than Genymotion emulator because I need to test NFC. How can this be done with mobSF or equivalent tool?

The title is pretty self explanatory. The market is pretty secretive about these kinds of matter since companies won’t give out vulnerabilities for attackers to abuse and will give out vulnerabilities that are solved and attackers would th… Continue reading Are there any contactless (RFID/NFC) card vulnerabilities that are still unsolved? even minor ones
I came across this question Offline brute-forcing of a bank card PIN, which was asked 7 years ago. I’m currently exploring vulnerabilities in EMV protocol, and I wanted to double check if an idea I had in mind is viable.
I came across a pa… Continue reading Guessing PIN code of smartcard using brute force and offline reader
When it comes to tracking an athlete’s performance, a single wearable sensor doesn’t always provide much information, yet multiple hard-wired sensors restrict movement. That’s a where a new sensor suit comes in – and it’s powered by a smartphone.Contin… Continue reading Smartphone-powered athletic “smart suit” needs no batteries
Hackaday editors Elliot Williams and Mike Szczys check in on the best hacks from the past week. All the buzz is the algorithm that can reverse engineer your house keys from the way they sound going into the lock. Cardboard construction goes extreme with an RC car build that’s beyond …read more
Near-field Communication (NFC) has been around a while and is used for example in access control, small data exchange, and of course in mobile payment systems. With such sensitive application areas, security is naturally a crucial element of the protocol, and therefore any lower-level access is usually heavily restricted and …read more
