That keycard could grant central office accessOn its own? No keycode or anything. What if he lost it?so he couldn't surrender it.But presumably it would need to be stolen. Wouldn't the tech notice that happening... Or is there some way the colo security guy can clone it undetected?
These are trivial to clone -- all you need is a reader hooked up to a PC and you can read the number off the card. You can then buy a batch of cards that cover the serial numbers that you are interested in (no, I don't really understand WHY you can buy numbered ranges, but you can...)
The other alternative is something like: http://cq.cx/proxmark3.plThis device will read and clone a large number of proximity cards -- you don't even need real access to the card, all you need to do is brush up against the cardholder with the antenna cincealed in your pocket....
