The talk is majorly about NFC (majorly, MiFare DESFire EV1 cards & classic cards). Keep in mind that this is not a NFC 101. I barely understand NFC due to lack of documentation, I just know enough to make profit out of it. I'll go through the ideas that floated in my mind during this hacking journey and also all the issues that I fell into.
Nikhil began his career as a graphic designer. He has been instrumental in assisting SFLC.in in their advocacy for digital rights in India and played a key role in promoting technological understanding within the Indian judicial system. He always had the knack for hacking stuff, be it software or hardware.
