  • I use it for managing the RFID keyfobs for my building. I can keep copies of each apartment’s fobs – which makes it trivially easy to disable lost fobs by using the ‘delete’ fob, followed by the lost fob (or all of the fobs for a specific resident), then re-enable new ones.

    I’ve also played with the NFC toys, but the built-in capabilities are rather limited. I was able to copy a RFID hotel room key (a room which I was staying in) by cracking keys with the F0 itself, which just shows how terribly weak these things are.

    I haven’t been able to use the SubGHz module to do anything particularly interesting aside from cloning a remote control for a fan and an LED light.

    It’s a neat toy, and it absolutely exposes how trivially easy it is to break access control systems.






    1. Electoral reform, at all levels. Start with municipal governments by offering tax dollars to help with the transition and to educate citizens. Once a municipality has successfully held their first election under the new system, they get some more money to continue their education plans, then move up to provincial, federal, etc.

    2. Boost healthcare. The state of all healthcare systems is shameful. Bonus transfer payments for strengthening the healthcare system with higher wages and benefits, lower wait times, more equal access to care, and fewer people without family doctors.

    3. Get serious on the environment. Nothing else matters once you can’t drink the water and breathe the air. Stop subsidizing carbon, collect carbon taxes, and direct the collected money back to individuals. Big rebates for energy efficiency projects, electric cars & charging.

    4. Kickstart housing. It’s not rocket surgery that cities and suburbs need higher density housing, with accessible public transit nearby.

    That’s just off the top of my head…
