My bet is this belongs in “the other thread” but someone is being clever.

Unfortunately, in my country, with a little money, you can do whatever you want, it’s not about stealing, there’s no need to repeat
well nobodys gonna actively help you in your pursuit to steal dog(s), regardless of the ‘legality’ ‘in your country’
Well, I’m no dog thief, but were I one I like to think I would be making less noise about it online
On the other hand, if I had a dog with a chip I thought was malfunctioning and I didn’t know much/anything about RFID then I reckon I might go around sounding sort of like a dog thief
Though, I suppose I’d hit the vet first too…
It’s a dilemma, to be sure

The solution any vet would have to a non-working chip is to just inject another one.

Absolutely. I briefly helped with pet-chipping and there is no way vets would operate to remove old chips. Worried about the cost of a Proxmark but not even considering changing the pet door?! Dog thief or that thread.

Or perhaps he has a unique relationship with his Dom.

mind you, nfc kill starts at 180$

Quite expensive for something that has little to no legitimate uses. Guess that it comes with a you-know-what-thread tax…
Also, why would someone try to fry a chip while trying to troubleshoot a dog dor?
Can you at least provide some pictures of the doggy door? Someone might recognize the model. And maybe some pictures of your dog. We love good boy pictures!

Well… I mean, I guess if you want to start punching the Vet to get them to do it for free, there’s that option too…

Some Vets punch back. Not advised.

Punching a vet will only get you in the squeezy cage:

destroying credentials is a very legitimate use-case and the reason why i have one, i worked as a student sysadmin in college and they bought one for me to destroy creds handed in to the front desk by MOPs as we were a city center college, wed get tonnes a week, we would fry them then shred them but the shredder wasn’t guaranteed to hit the chip so they were technically recoverable and we wanted to go the extra mile to prevent that.

Why would there be a need to kill the chips? As far as I know, basically every access system based on RFID of any kind is designed to address any security concern regarding the credential by simply remove the credential from the system side… why the need to kill the chip? If this was a flat out requirement, then what kind of “bomb the city with a tactical nuke” would be needed to ensure EMP destruction of a lost credential?

we (and i use that liberally trust me it wasn’t my choice) stored the student ID in block 1 and the student ID could be used for a handful of things across the campus via manual entry & things like email addresses.
as soon as a student reported theirs lost we would remove their UID based access from the doors and print & encode them a new card but there was nothing we could do for the student ID within the blocks still out in the wild.
it was a preventative measure from having a garbage bag full of potentially usable student information

relative to NFCKILL, i’ve tested this on myself for science (and financial reward) on a blue xsiid, broke the chip but the led still works

Ah so it’s more of a privacy thing than security thing. Makes sense. Doesn’t make sense why that data was stored like that but okay

yah i argued against it too at the time, our printers looked up block 1 for student ID instead of relating UID to stuID which was totally something that could’ve been solved, i as a student sysadmin was basically there for decoration when it came to making decisions haha.
i did get them to get me the nfckill (along with the 8 others they bought) as previously they were lightboxing cards finding the chip and cutting it before shredding the chip. which as you can guess took eons
