-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi together, at university i am working on a project which tries to identify vulnerabilities in a smartcard system which consists of the actual smartcard plus a (pseudo?)level-3 reader (reader has a pinpad plus a display). This system will be used in major cities and we want to make people aware of the fact that it is (probably) pretty unsecure. At the moment we are in the pre-information gathering phase: We are about to import knowledge about smartcards, used protocols, etc. Since i want to dump the contents of that smartcard and maybe even rewrite it to another, empty card i need a smartcard reader/writer. Does anyone has ever done a pentest on that kind of system? Can somebody suggest special hardware? I know that the chaos computer club (ccc; local hacking group) has made its own reader/writer but this one isnt available any more. If you could hook me up with any info regarding this theme (books?), i really much would appreciate it.
