During years, many different researches and attacks against digital and physical payment methods have been discussed. New security techniques and methodologies such as tokenization process attempts to reduce or prevent fraudulent transactions.

Extracting or capturing data from a transaction have been studied in different ways, and some of the most common techniques are skimming, wireless skimming, relay attacks, traffic sniffing or modifying a PoS(Point of Sale) system. In our talk, “NFC Payments: The Art of Relay & Replay Attacks” at TROOPERS18, we will discuss a new technique and methodology that malicious individuals could implement to extract data.

A few years later in 2011, our government in Argentina decided to implement a “new technology” called NFC, designed as the new and only way of payment for the use of public transport. So, I decided to understand it better, play with it, and try some hacks I heard from the cool people of the CCC.
