The ChameleonMini is a skeleton key for RFID

No Comments
| Computer, Computers

I’ve always wanted a skeleton key — not a real one, but the kind you would see in a cartoon that opens any door immediately. The idea of ​​just being able to slip in anywhere, smoothly and discreetly, has always been a secret dream for me.

Of course, time changes and so do keys. Your front door might still use a metal key, but offices and industrial facilities are more likely to use some kind of wireless keycard, whether it’s NFC, RFID, or some other radio signal. So what does a tappable skeleton key look like?

What is it?

The ChameleonMini is a tool that allows you to emulate and clone high-frequency contactless cards and read RFID tags. It functions as an NFC emulator and RFID reader and can sniff and log radio frequency (RF) data. From a distance, it looks vaguely like a credit card, although there are multiple form factors. You can use it standalone or connect the device to your phone over Bluetooth and use one of the many chameleon apps to conduct penetration tests on your own systems.

If you’ve got an employee’s key fob handy, it can make a functional replica of the fob that will get you in anywhere the original would — along with a few more complicated tricks we’ll get into later.

The device started as an open-source project on GitHub back in 2013, so there are a bunch of versions. The Revision G is our

Apple is apparently working on a ‘Custom Accessibility Mode’ for iOS

No Comments
| Computer, Computers

Apple is working on a brand new “Custom Accessibility Mode” for iOS, according to evidence found by 9to5Mac in the second iOS 16.2 developer beta. The company apparently says this mode offers a “customizable, streamlined way to use your iPhone and iPad,” which seems to mean you’ll be able to adjust some settings to make your iOS devices easier to use.

With the new mode, “users will be able to set things like UI and larger text, apps available on the Home Screen, allowed contacts, and access to hardware buttons for when Custom Accessibility Mode is enabled,” 9to5Mac reports. In screenshots shared by the outlet, you can see how the mode enables things like much larger app icons, a big back button, and a simpler UI in the Messages app.

If it’s released, Custom Accessibility Mode would add to iOS’s already impressive suite of useful accessibility features, but unfortunately, we don’t know when the mode will actually be available. 9to5Mac says it found Custom Accessibility Mode “under the hood” of the second iOS 16.2 beta and that it’s not something people on the beta update can actually use right now, which could point to the feature arriving much later in the future. Apple didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

How are these fake Roblox and Ohio governor Twitter accounts still up?

No Comments
| Computer, Computers

And yet some high-profile impersonators have stuck around on the platform for hours or even days, flouting Musk’s rules by not having “parody” in their username. The tweets are getting more and more popular, increasing the danger for Twitter’s brand in the eyes of advertisers.

Let’s look at some of the accounts that are still up, at time of writing:

An account parodying Ohio Governor Mike Dewine has also managed to escape a ban, despite its ten-hour old tweet with over 2,000 retweets announcing the governor’s plan for “eradicating the people of Columbus.”

Rip to Columbus, I guess.

Rip to Columbus, I guess.

To be clear, Twitter is cracking down on some of the accounts. While this article was being written, an account impersonating Senator Chuck Grassley was suspended, though it took almost a full day while one of its tweets garnered tens of thousands of likes. It was a similar situation with a fake Donald Trump account, which had multiple tweets with tens of thousands of likes and one with over 10,000 retweets, and didn’t mark itself as a parody anywhere.

This tweet made it nearly 24 hours.

Still, it’s bad for Twitter that these tweets stayed up for so long, especially the ones from fake brands. As of right now, the company is on advertising as its main source of revenue. And advertisers have shown that they’re not huge fans of a platform that lets people convincingly impersonate them. There have been several very

Don’t Want the Pfizer or Moderna Shot? Now You Can Get a Novavax Booster

For the most up-to-date news and information about the coronavirus pandemic, visit the WHO and CDC websites.

What’s happening

As boosters roll out for the fall and winter season, health officials are allowing some adults to get a Novavax shot as their booster, instead of the updated mRNA vaccine formulas.

Why it matters

Novavax is the first protein-based vaccine for COVID-19 available in the US, which is a more traditional vaccine type. Some people may prefer this vaccine, or may not be able to take the other vaccines.

What it means for you

If you’ve received your primary vaccine at least six months ago and haven’t gotten any other booster, you can get a shot of Novavax. Unvaccinated adults can still get Novavax as their primary vaccine.

Adults who can’t or don’t want to get the updated booster formula from Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna can get a shot of Novavax as their booster, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the US Food and Drug Administration said last week.

The new authorization applies to people who’ve gone at least six months since their primary vaccine and who have’t had any booster yet. About 48% of US adults are fully vaccinated but haven’t yet received the first booster dose.

Novavax has been available to adults and teens as young as age 12 as the original or primary vaccine, but this is the first time some people will be able to get it as a booster. Like the first two
