Now he's hacked US Passports using a $250 RFID reader!
http://www.securitydreamer.com/2009/02/now-hes-hacked-us-passports-using-a-250-rfid-reader.html Is he evil? Ask some manufacturers and they'll say yes, emphatically. Ask privacy advocates, and they'll praise him for exposing the seeds of Big Brother. Chris Pajet didn't stop at cloning your HID prox card while standing next to you in line at the 7-Eleven.* Now he has begun war-driving through San Francisco, gleaning RFID tags from US Passports. This is another assault on the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative. Read about it here.
White hats like Chris find the holes in our tech infrastructure that the bad guys also find. I'd rather know about it than keep my head in the sand. Besides, these problems are ususally fixable, so let's fix the problems and not ignore them. *not sure if he ever did that, but the cloning device he showed me sure could have been used that way.
