Putty Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Coworker was in a meeting today and waved her Galaxy Nexus over this quarter sized Droid tag....The phone beeped and she said that turned wifi on, ringer and bluetooth off. Maybe I am behind cause I switched to iPhone, but that's pretty cool. According to her you can set the tag to do various actions on your phone. Here they are.... http://www.tagsfordroid.com/tags/Home.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akula Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 I just saw this great lecture on Near Field Communication at DEFCON and the guy on stage got a shell on someone's phone and mounted the file system on his computer. From there he pulled down the entire contacts list, all images and even sent texts out to a contacts distribution list he built. The whole thing took less than 15 seconds to setup. TAGS make settings etc... magical and like my colleages and I often say, when there is magic in technology, there are security flaws. BTW, the "only accept tags when I agree to it" setting is easily disabled by options that get set on the tag. Super interesting stuff.
