Simple remedy for a big problem: how to disable the RFID on your passport

January 7th, 2007 SkyHorse

Sooner or later if you live in a country with the visa-waiver program with the US (i.e. most EU countries and a few more) your passport will be issued with a always-on radio frequency identification chips, making it easy for officials – and hackers – to grab your personal stats. Getting paranoid about strangers slurping up your identity? Here’s what you can do about it. But be careful – tampering with a passport is punishable by 25 years in prison. Not to mention the “special” customs search, with rubber gloves. Bon voyage!

1) RFID-tagged passports have a distinctive logo on the front cover; the chip is embedded in the back.

2) Sorry, “accidentally” leaving your passport in the jeans you just put in the washer won’t work. You’re more likely to ruin the passport itself than the chip.

3) Forget about nuking it in the microwave – the chip could burst into flames, leaving telltale scorch marks. Besides, have you ever smelled burnt passport?

4) The best approach? Hammer time! Hitting the chip with a blunt, hard object should disable it. A nonworking RFID doesn’t invalidate the passport, so you can still use it.

Banksy: The Hacker of the Art world

September 19th, 2006 SkyHorse
An art buyer looks at a painting on a wall that reads --I cant believe you morons actually buy this shit--
Banksy is to Art as Hackers are to I.T.Is Banksy a Hacker? Absolutely.
His own words resume his style:
The time of getting fame for your name on its own is over.
Artwork that is only about wanting to be famous will never make you famous.
Any fame is a by-product of making something that means something.
You don’t go to a restaurant and order a meal because you want to have a shit.
