And thatās what I doubt, because why would a card melt then? And even if that doesnāt melt it, is the polymer still intact after that? Does it outgas then? Does it maybe create a mini explosion?
I think itās rather dumb just to assume itāll be fine, but maybe itās dumb to assume anything will happen⦠I donāt know anything about that, so my fear might be totally unrealistic.
You all seem confident, that calms me, but still.
I hoped there were definitive proofs for these things.
Yes nice!!
In a microwave, because of eddy currents. They work on any old bit of metal, whether itās a coil or an open circuit. So basically when you stick an NFC card in a microwave, itās instantly killed, then the eddy currents continue heating up the metal bits inside until enough heat creates the melting and smoking and outgassing.
I believe this will happen whether itās in water or not to be honest
Indeed, donāt take my word for it: try it yourself ![]()
I just donāt want to kill my microwave
my wife might kill me.
Semi weird question,
Has anyone managed to split a kbr to multiple computers?
Not a usb switch, one scan and it types on 2 computers
My lizard brain is wondering if you just split the data lines analog style⦠straight up rca splitter logic lol
Iām sure thereās probably some kind of usb sanity check or something that would mess this upā¦
Finally setting up my computer area, and as much as I love my wave nano, Iām not buying 2 of those
I think the idea of a single kbr on the bottom of the desk could be slick⦠even more so with a usb hub underneath also, so only one cord going to the computer
Not possible: USB keyboards are enumerated by the host and they report the keys upon request (i.e. the host keeps polling them actively).
Maybe with a PS/2 keyboard and 2 PS/2 to USB adapters.
Sounds like the perfect way to leak your ID on the PC you didnāt want to login to.
I guessā¦
Why canāt things be easy?
⦠well I can just buy a second kbrā¦
Why canāt things be easy AND cheap lol
An easy way would probably be, plug your Wave Nano into a KVM switch.
Select computer on KVM
Swipe Wave Nano

I use a two host USB switch. It has four ports on the front, two on the back, and a button and 2 lights on top.
I have my keyboard/trackpad hooked up and my prototype keyboard wedge.
One port sometimes has my yubikey in it and the fourth port is spareā¦
I would suggest a similar set up.
This is the switch I use Xqjtech USB 3.0 Switch KVM Switchā¦
The only person I am aware of with an NFCKill is @freqyXin and I assume @KaiCastledine has / access to oneā¦of course there is likely others.
@AbbottSmith am I correct in thinking you fried
a chip within a card
with a modified coil?
I remember at least 2 people in the video, maybe a hackerspace
and I can picture the coil ( Copper wound tube, Copper windings, heat sinks and a VA meter with a Blue screen )
The usb switch might be a better option
⦠but 2x kbr readers might the faster and sexier option lol ![]()
Also damn, I thought they were like 20$, 40$ is a harder decision to buy something for a technically inferior solution
Nope not me, I have not tried to fry any chips. I did turn on a LF detector with an induction heater, maybe this is what you were thinking of?
Yeah, that was itā¦
I thought the rig was similarā¦oh well
I tried it,
The only thing that happened was the water got warm.
The microwaves will penetrate the plastic card UNLESS itās in water.
It didnāt even mess up the antenna, blue cloner still reads it as a valid t5577.
Rosco, I shouldāve never doubted you.
I think my wave ID nano can let me use more than just my UID⦠Iām just going cross eyed trying to understand it
their user manual⦠on the off chance anyone smarter than me wants to take a peek⦠.
⦠not specifically for my benefit⦠but maybe it can benefit the group if someone ( smarter ) can make heads or tails of it all
page 60 is where things look interesting⦠but again⦠cross eyed and dumb
I can try to call them tomorrow but itās a crap shoot if I get a correct answer and not just the brush off by a phone clerk
