The key I made works beautifully both on my garage door, as well as a number of other RFID readers I have tried! So, in typical fashion, I built my own reader hardware so I could have a look at the data from a card, and created my own version of the Universal RFID key. The original author didn't release source code for their project, but they left enough clues that I could follow. For the next couple of days, I couldn't get the image of the card out of my mind the project reminded me of how much I wanted to build a RFID spoofer myself. Even my current employer uses them.Ī while ago, I was looking at Hack A Day, and I saw an amazing project that somebody had made.

Researchers have demonstrated cloners of all varieties, but simple RFID tags are still being used for access control. We have known that the cheaper RFID technologies were pretty insecure for a number of years.

Even I recently purchased a RFID door lock on eBay for $15 to lock my garage (so my front neighbor could get tools if he wanted to).

RFID projects have been pretty prominent recently, ranging from projects here in Instructables, to our local Silicon Chip magazine in Australia publishing a RFID door lock project in their November issue.
