How to hack RFID-enabled Credit Cards for $8 (BBtv)
A number of credit card companies now issue credit cards with embedded RFIDs (radio frequency ID tags), with promises of enhanced security and speedy transactions.
But on today’s episode of Boing Boing tv, hacker and inventor Pablos Holman shows Xeni how you can use about $8 worth of gear bought on eBay to read personal data from those credit cards — cardholder name, credit card number, and whatever else your bank embeds in this manner.
Fears over data leaks from RFID-enabled cards aren’t new, and some argue they’re overblown — but this demo shows just how cheap and easy the “sniffing” can be.
This episode is part of our ongoing series of interviews with some of the thinkers, hackers, and tinkerers at the O’Reilly Emerging Technology conference this year.

And everyone knows you ship to an empty house. The “for sale” sign outside and lack of curtains is usually a giveaway. Or any house you know the owners will be away on vacation or whatever. Of course you arrange next day shipping so you can conveniently be there “in the process of moving” to collect. – Don’t you watch TV? I got all that from the discovery channel, but it’s not exactly rocket science you know.

If I was going to implement passive RFID I would at least use strong crypto with keys off the card with an integrity check internal to the passive logic.
This way servers could send decryption keys with public key cryptography based on some unique salt. The key is(no pun intended) to keep the internal that decryption and integrity logic away from debugging/dumping/altering.

Accept Jesus Christ? Why would I accept a plagiarized story based on astronomy as anything more than what it is? You people really need to get your heads out your asses. The story of jesus christ is almost word for word identical to the story of Horus, written originally in 3,000 b.c. but even so officially on record in the Bood of the Dead in 1300 b.c.

Not to mention that CERN has released the new name of it’s global ‘supercomputer’, called “The Grid”.
