RFID: Soup to Nuts

- Adam Laurie

This course will cover everything from basic theory of how RFID works 'under the hood', to actual use cases and current exploits and tools.

Pre-requisite of Training Class:

Student

• Anyone interested in RFID, whether they have a basic knowledge or none at all, will come away with a better understanding of how this stuff really works, and useful 'hands-on' experience of RFID hacking.

Hardware

• Students should bring a laptop with USB and DVD drive. Most tools work best under Linux, but many are multi-platform so can be run under Windows or Mac. RFID readers, example cards and other devices will be provided.

Software

• Students should be prepared to install drivers and/or software, or to run a pre-packaged distribution such as Kali.
