Rfiddler kills your RFID tags dead

category: RFID
The developers at Codeninja have invented a device which can be aimed at RFID tags, and even USB flash drives, to permanently deactivate and destroy their data.
The gun was fabricated using a Nerf N-Strike Recon CS-6, with a 0.6 kilojoule camera flash driving a 50-turn copper spool. Just for laughs and giggles, this RFID killer was equipped with a 2 watt, 4-track MP3 player to produce the sounds of destruction that occur when your precious data is erased.
The Rfiddler works by generating a strong electromagnetic field within the coil, to transmit a strong shock of energy to the RFID tag, comparable with an EMP. Some part of it will blow, thus deactivating the chip forever.
The gun also consists of 32 LEDs and 500 lines of c-code, all with a power consumption of 860 mA/h.
