In this episode of How Do Hackers Do Things, GraVoc Security Consultant, Josh Jenkins, will show you how hackers can attempt to steal HID (Human Interface Device) Badges using a Proxmark3. The Proxmark3 is a commercially available hardware device that allows a malicious actor to steal and copy a wide array of badges. This type of attack could allow an attacker to physically enter a facility and plant other devices that would allow for further exploitation. Check out the demonstration below!

In order to prevent attacks like these from happening, it is important to fully understand your external vulnerability attack surface. This would typically get done through an External Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing. External Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing simulates a targeted, external attack on your organization’s network perimeter. For more information on protecting your business from these types of attacks, visit our External Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing services.
