One thing I'd love to do with this, but which I don't think is possible - clone my car key. My family has two cars and I just wish I could have one device that is able to unlock & start both of them so that I don't have to carry two bulky dongles on my keychain.

Is there ANY way to detect the presence of one of these devices, OR the use of a device when a tag ID is scanned? The reason that I ask, is that I was on the design team for lockheed when we were selling RFID tags for shipping containers at a shitload per pop... (123 and 433 mhz) and I brought up we had zero auth on any of our systems... and was just told to not speak about it.

Are these devices even technically legal to operate in the USA? I thought 433mhz was reserved for exactly what you say - tags for shipping containers. If you use a LoRa devices in the USA I think you are supposed to be >~850mhz.

Can these clone passive RFID dongles? My building uses them and they charge $60 for a copy. Not needing to buy a copy from my building would almost cover the cost of this device.

You can clone most RFID keys at the key-copying kiosks inside supermarkets. I turned my most-used key into a sticker that I put inside my phone case for $10.

It's pretty nice: one less thing to carry around.

The dolphin reminds me of the one from that movie with Keanu where they are constantly doing a bunch of cheesy mind hacking!

I guarantee that's by design, also the references to hackers "hack the planet" on the device etc. It's a love letter portable device that's very reminiscent of the various badges that have been at Defcon and other hacking conferences over the past few years. This brings a whole new level of polish and finish. They did an awesome job.

Sadly though, I kick start a lot of stuff that doesn't end up being 50% of what's promised if delivered at all. I still kick start fun projects like this though as a gamble on seeing someones ideas take place. I think the big problem for most of them is the designer suddenly has "all this cash" and has no clue how to manage or spend appropriately, ends up allocating to things they don't need or straight up siphoning off for lifestyle changes (SEE DUNE CASE) and then stuff is never delivered.

Either way HACK THE PLANET! I hope to see all these dolphins at Defcon!

It seems that every day we are getting closer and closer to a 'tricorder'. I used to laugh at fictional devices that could detect/emit any frequency and communicate with anything. Not laughing now.

Pair something like this with a smartphone(specially those with ML cores) and things could get... interesting.
