Where can I buy one? I have a legitimate use for one at work.

Perimeter security breached ;)

For those interested, Jonathan will give a presentation on his proximity card reader/simulator at the REcon conference (www.recon.cx, Montreal, 17-19 June 2005).

I think the ski areas around the world (the richer ones use proximity cards) are going to love this ;)

…but think of the possibilities: free entry to public transportation, schools and ski resorts. Also coming soon: amusement parks. Yay for proximity card spoofing.

Gotta love the google ads for RFID tag printers in an article talking about the insecurities of RFID. Classic.

Sophomore? students at Olin College (www.olin.edu) made a similar contraption. They built their own USB reader and also built a handheld spoofer. I got to see it when I visited. It was an interesting project, as the entire school’s physical security is based on these cards, and the students as a school sanctioned project broke it.

Nice. Here, in Warsaw, we use proximity cards (MIFARE kind) to enter the subway station and as bus tickets. Let’s hope I won’t get into trouble reading other people’s tickets :)
