RFID access control cards easily clonable

probe

Does your workplace or home use RFID cards to control access?

If so, have a look at this short video on how easy it is to clone some of them.

The guy had planned to present his device at a hackers’ conference and the company who makes the RFID device used their patents to stop the presentation!

Real burglars won’t be too worried about breaching patents!

RFID makes ID cards and passports LESS secure too.

Its been known for along time RFID was cloneable.

Ordering chips in small numbers to experiment i cant exactly justify buying 10,000 chips to experiment:( Give it time and thell filter down in smaller numbers.

Screaming Monkey

I was at a security conference last year where Adam Laurie was presenting..

He did demos of RFID cloning on stage, with bits of hardware he built, some python scripts and blank rfid chips.
Along with cloning the "animal" RFID chips he also did RFID cloning of door access cards and some brief info on cloning magnetic strips and infra-red devices.

The final bit of the presentation was reading/decrypting the information off the new RFID enabled British passports, there was silence in the room.

scary guy, check out his website http://www.rfidiot.org/
