Criminal minds want to know

Apparently, Thesis Hell comes up pretty high on google searches for aspiring law-breakers. People have been surfing on in looking for info on how to hack a Prius ignition and make homemade grappling hooks. The latter does have some superhero applications, so I'm not judging. Please be advised that this info is only available to subscribing members, for a reasonable fee of $20 a month, cheque payable to Grad Student Hack.

Or you could just pick up an RFID cloner and have your pick of any loot you want (including someone else's Prius). Awesomely shocking Wired article on the vulnerability of RFID technology (think smartcard door keys, Prius ignition keys and soon, passports and chips for human implant. Yay!). If the RFID isn't encrypted, hacking it is as easy as walking past someone and snatching the signal off their chip with a cloner that fits in your palm.
