Summary
Architecture and Background
RFID MythBusting Chris Paget Founder, H4RDW4RE LLC This presentation is about challenging many of the popular preconceptions about RFID technology.
Vulnerability Analysis
"Short-range" will be shot down first (I'm aiming to set a half-mile world record in the Nevada desert just before Defcon), "secure" will be busted second (don't bring _any_ RFID tags unless you want them cloned), "immune to electromagnetic pulse weaponry" will fall last (and hopefully most spectacularly).
Exploitation and Demonstrations
I'll be covering a wide range of different RFID technologies from 125KHz to 900MHz, and releasing a whole pile of source code, schematics, and (with luck) a little magic smoke.
Remediation and Defensive Strategies
Undeterred by his previous legal skirmishes, Chris Paget is still having fun playing with magnetic fields and RFID. If you see a tall guy wandering around the con with long hair, high heels, and a pile of home-made RF hardware, there's a good chance that a) it's him, and b) your RFID cards have just been cloned.
