Wow, that sticker looks awesome. Any chance that you guys could set up a send in money, get a few stickers thing for the ones unlucky enough to not be able to do?

I'd put a hackaday sticker on my laptop in a heartbeat.

I'd even send in a photo of it.

if there are leftovers can we send in SASE’s and get a sticker?

#10 They where using an FPGA array hence it being impractical. Not sure what cores the FPGA's used but you could be right. They might have been able to use a single board with a faster core.

Also I followed there research for a few years. I seem to remember them being forced to remove details from there site not even a year ago by some corporate lawyers. That's why I stopped paying there research any attention.

Also the transponder ECM system is the best security measure out there currently; even better than rolling code systems. They'll have to go back to the drawing table if the transponder chip ECM system becomes too easy to crack.

#8: I don’t see how backpacking a FPGA around would be impractical, as my 500K gate FPGA is barely an inch square – and that is probably overkill for this application. You might need some buttons and an LCD, though :)

is there a link to learn more about their FPGA cracking efforts? how many FPGA's do they typically use in tandem (or, do they use use one?)

thanks

My 96 Honda Prelude had a transponder chip key stock..Not exactly "newer cars." Interesting because the Acura Integra didn't get chip a key till 2001 when bills started being passed in congress.

I think the Corvette got a TI based chip key in the late 80's. GM also used PASSKEY 1 and 2 which was resistor based and was a no brainer to bypass.

If you wanted to save some time you could just buy a cloner and key blank. In CA chop shops they get the VIN for a target car and just get there professional mechanic buddies to get the pre-cut blade and code the transponder with an in shop cloner.

The FPGA encryption cracking is cool, but backpacking an FPGA array around wouldn't be practical for a thief.

Has anyone ever done FPGA tests on other ciphers like A5 or triple DES?

where, when and will I be able to DL videos of the talks?

mmm stickers, pity I live about as far away from dc as you can get (actually as far away from the usa as you can get)

But the thing is that it may likes the other peoples too. Any guess why??

How does one go about getting one of them spiffy stickers?

damn, i don’t have a ticket. I live around DC, and I’d love a sticker.

No, Ondra, by fruit vendor I think they meant BananaFS or something.

Fiiiiiiirst :P

Does VileFault has to do something with FileVault :) ? Sounds similar to me :PP
