Magnetic Stripe Spoofer – MagSpoof

 

We have seen this type of device before but Samy has done a great job making his tiny version. We have also seen some interesting alternative methods of reading the magnetic card information, the reading method is amazing that it can be read by the naked eye.

“MagSpoof emulates a magnetic stripe by quickly changing the polarization of an electromagnet, producing a magnetic field similar to that of a normal magnetic stripe as if it’s being swiped. What’s incredible is that the magstripe reader requires no form of wireless receiver, NFC, or RFID — MagSpoof works wirelessly, even with standard magstripe readers. The stronger the electromagnet, the further away you can use it (a few inches in its current iteration).”
