BSides Cape Town 2024

Robin Roodt

I'm a cyber security consultant at MWR CyberSec where my main focus is Application Security.

I started looking at radio signals in University where I got a lot of exposure while studying BEng Computer Engineering. Taking that knowledge to a security company, I thought to myself "What happens when we hack these signals flying through the air?". That kick-started my hobby where I immediately started hacking my mom's car!

This talk will dive into the fundamental concepts of the radio frequency (RF) Relay attack and how it could be used to attack different type of systems that make use of radio communication. The Relay Attack allows an attacker to extend the intended range of communication between two devices, deceiving them into believing that they are in close proximity to one another to perform some type sensitive action, such as unlocking or starting cars, or making payments with PoS devices!
