WarCloning, the New WarDriving? 154
ChrisPaget writes "After my legal skirmishes with HID a while back, The Register has coverage of my latest RFID work — cloning Passport Cards and Electronic Drivers Licenses from a moving vehicle. Full details will be released at Shmoocon this weekend, but in the meantime there's video of the equipment and articles all over the place."

WarDriving = Driving around finding open APs.
"WarCloning" = Driving around cloning RFID stuff.
Shouldn't it be "CloneDriving" or something else? Though I suppose all of them are equally dumb. So nevermind...

Really? The first thing I did was pick up one of these [about.com], which I already had on hand at the house. Mine is *guaranteed* effective. :-)

I think that is a VERY legitimate use of a tinfoil hat... /Couldn't resist.

I do believe the magnetron in the microwave is a tad more energetic than your average RFID reader. Well, I hope it is anyway. If not, we're going to have some seriously upset -- and sterile -- border control agents.
Thanks for the input, though.

We should make RFID highly controlled instead. Once we make RFID ownership illegal then only criminals will have RFID, and they'll be a whole lot easier to find.
Hey, it works for guns, right?
