RFID madness at HOPE in New York 7/21
This Friday at noon, I’ll be giving a presentation at the HOPE conference in New York. I’m talking about why I turned my body into a security vulnerability by getting a VeriChip RFID implant in my right arm (yes, I still have the implant). Joining me will be Jonathan Westhues, who will give a presentation on the proxmark3 device he designed — among other things, the proxmark3 allows him to clone my RFID implant.
Come see us, or just come to the conference. Organized in part by Emmanuel Goldstein of the legendary 2600 group and ‘zine, it’s the only event I know where progressive activists, hackers and culture jammers get together to scheme about revolution. This year, I vow to go to the lock-picking workshop and learn the basics.
