Has there ever been a single case of RFID credit card hacking ever recorded? Is there any proof something like this actually works in the real world (or even in a lab for that matter)?

It is a very common way to grab and clone badge credentials in order to gain access to doors/buildings. DeviantOllam on youtube has some good talks that mention it.

Edit: He gives a quick and dirty explanation here with a real world example, but it goes well beyond that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r...C8&t=1920s (around 32:00 if the time skip doesn't work)

I mean, does it actually happen or is it something that could happen in theory? Bigfoot attacks are theoretically possible but are they a problem worth trying to combat? Imagine if there was an entire industry devoted to selling bigfoot traps and deterrents, would that be an objectively useful product? Maybe or maybe not. That is my question.

I did watch a bit of your video however the speaker was referencing cases of people dressed up as official personnel and tricking others via social means as opposed to a RFID hack. Not sure what dressing as the beer vendor and walking out with a cart of 24-packs has to do with with the subject. After a few minutes I got bored so there may have been something I missed.

Again, I'm not saying RFID theft doesn't happen, I've just never heard of a single recorded real world case. And almost more importantly, could these products even prevent that attack? Moreover, one could argue that skimming attacks which happen tens of thousands of times per day, are not helped by this product category, and could be prevented by more widespread RFID use.

I'm curious how often this happens as well. I guess it's equivalent to insurance. How often does one actually need or use auto/home insurance. May help for peace of mind for those that are worried. It may never happen but if someone's worried it can, then this will help ease that worry I guess.

btw about your bigfoot trap. Big Grin

which would be a good size for ezpass.
would this work to block being tracked every where even if one isnt using ez-pass?

I'm glad someone brought this up as I wonder as well ever since these products came out. I work along a larger cybersecurity dept and we have all sorts of cautions about 2FA (use it) and simple pwd, phishing and social media attacks, but I have never heard of any real world case of RFID theft issue. Is it possible? yes, but again how much of an actual issue? I don't take congested public transportation so maybe it's an issue if that's what you do regularly?

I'm not worried about theft, but it's very easy to track people through their RFID cards.
Each RFID chip has an ID that's very easy to sniff without the cage.
It's not publicly attached to your name, but it's easy enough to figure out and then they can track you forever.

The faraday cage for keys is more interesting. Especially if you have a high end car parked on the driveway. Fancy car thefts use those signal replicators to do a man-in-the-middle attack. Cut the signal from ever leaving the house, and you're solid.

I have heard of hacks where the thieves wait for someone to open their garage door with their remote opener, then grab the code that's sent to the garage opener. After that they wait for the occupants to leave, and use the code to open the garage door. Most people don't lock their inside garage doors, so the rest of the house usually ends up being open to the thieves as well.

I would think RFID protection would be mostly for LEO/Gov protection. I think it'll likely pose a problem later down the road when you can do it cheaply. Tap2Pay is more common nowadays with phones or cards themselves. It might take some time to get cheap enough throwaway kits that are disposable to make it worth doing. The primary use case at this point is to protect yourself from the government in general at this point. They scoop all that Ring data or data from third-party corps to circumvent the laws already. Plate scanners and stingrays are in wide use as well.

Is someone really tracking you? Why? Can't your boss at the CIA afford better security than this? Anyone that is recording your movements must have direct access AND control any public RFID reader you pass by unless they plant countless units around the city but then they have to maintain and upload that data. Or they work for the public Metro or Subway operator but now you have a government conspiracy on your hands. Perhaps they would place an RFID chip in your shoes, belt, keys, cell phone, car, an item you didn't have a "cage" around it and track you that way. Or slip an app on your phone. Either way you'll run around worry free with you "Faraday bag" protecting you Wink

And yes, I have heard of spouses using RFID to track cheaters coming and going from their own houses / apartment buildings however those same people would also know you were trying to use an RFID blocker and get extra suspicious.

BTW, calling this a (Faraday) "cage" gives it far too much credibility).
