It looks like the $50 playing card sized ProxPick won’t start shipping until close to Halloween (their site says it will ship on or before Oct. 31st, 2009), but I foresee a huge demand for this tool! Group buy anyone? Discounts available on 10 or more…

All of the firmware is covered under the GPLv2. I can see this being popular with high school kids forced to carry RFID tags while attending school. I like the scanning detection capability, and the active shield especially. And “Wall-of-Sheep”, a nod to DefCon perhaps?

Read mode: Act like a normal reader to read tags and save them to internal storage.
Sniff mode: Listen in on a “normal” reader and capture all tags (PP mode).
Playback mode: Act like a tag to replay stored ID numbers (PP mode).
Active Shield mode: Act like a tag but deliberately send corrupt data to confuse readers (PP mode).
Wall-of-Sheep mode: Send tag data to a PC in realtime (requires USB).

ProxPick can read, copy, and playback almost all Prox-type tags, including:

VeriChip
HID Prox (multiple formats)
Indala
TI
Q5
T5555
T5557
EM4100
HiTag2
HomeAgain (pet chip)
FriendChip (pet chip)

ProxPick’s decode routines are also capable of reading and decoding
other 125KHz tag formats. Quick, hide your passport! I’m sure this will be popular on wethepeoplewillnotbechipped
