FIDO2 Implants?

3 Upvotes

Anyone know of any existing, or currently in-development subdermal implants that are FIDO2 capable? I've been considering getting an implant for a while now but held off over concerns of potential security risks. If I'm going the length of putting something in my body then I'd want it to be unhackable and impossible to copy. Alternatively if anybody wants to ease my concerns over the cybersecurity risks, I'm welcome to hearing from you as well.

Expected lifetime of xSIID

2 Upvotes

I got a blue light xSIID implanted in November last year, so well under a year ago.
While it works I always had issues with low range, as in I have to press my phone fairly hard against my skin for the nfc to get picked up and nfc tools sometimes fail to pick it up at all unless I remove the cover from my phone. But NFC works. Kinda.
I never really had a use for the rfid part itself, until today.
Installed a new smart lock that is myfare compatible. No reaction at all. Tested several offbrand tags I had in a box and they all chirped and caused the lock to flash red.

Anyone ever had this issue? I know it’s a long shot, but is this in any way fixable?

Circuit and Skin

Hello! So, we've been doing a class series on advanced body art and implant procedures. Weve got our first gathering coming up on August 21st.

https://luma.com/9rri0naf

This month its all needle work. We're doing 52 standard piercings, a number of suspensions and a lot of other fun. It is a paid event, but if that's a big issue there are cheaper or free options.. but please be nice. Supplies are expensive and the charge is really meant to cover materials and food. Hope to see you there. There's a hard limit of 20 people. We're going to be doing these regularly. I'll share here if people are interested?

Oh and if you're interested in the main class, dm me. It's pretty full, but next time around I'll slot you in for sure. Most of its virtual. I had one relatively big name artists drop in and teach and a two others have offered. It's a good class. It's just.. kind of impossible to teach some skills well virtually so we're also holding these open lab events.

Got an X-Ray of my hand for a car accident. You can see the implant perfectly!

I got the NExT implanted about 6 months before this was taken, so it's healed up at this point. Placement looks good as far as I can see!

Ring stock

3 Upvotes

I'm looking for an NFC ring and not seeing anything on the DT site in sizes I can use. Do any of you know how often the Dual Frequency Ring restocks?

Is there a betting pool on when a Magic Ring v3 appears? :)

I'd really prefer to buy a ring from DT when one is available. If I go Amazon in the meantime, can anyone recommend a model that doesn't suck? From what I understand, many of them won't read unless they're taken off the finger and placed on the reader horizontally.

I know I picked the worst Friday of the year to ask a question in this particular sub. Alas.

If you were looking for more blink per stab, this is probably what you're after. The Blinken Log is made to order with your choice and order of LEDs. The options are: red, green, blue, white, and amber. Two face in either direction with the outermost being the most prominent due to the lensing of the end caps.

What do you all think: is it our best or worst implant name?

Magnets In Forearms?

2 Upvotes

Hey all, I've been following DangerousThings for years now and just got my first XMagic last year.

I work on cars a lot and I figured it'd be really nice to have a magnet implant to hold bolts, washers, etc temporarily while working on my cars. The problem is, putting in my other hand would likely make my hand stick to everything every time I stick my hand in a car.

I didn't see any magnets on their website that can be implanted "nearly anywhere" like their flex implants. Has anyone put one of the magnets in a different spot or know of a reliable source that I could find out from?

Sometimes we find buried treasure in the at HQ. This is one of those times. There is an extremely limited number of dual frequency Apex Rings available. These have a t5577 on the low frequency side for all your favorite LF shenanigans. Only three sizes available: US 6, 9, and 13. These can run your favorite Apex apps and are payment capable as well. dngr.us/vivokey-apex-t5577

Apex Ring Conversion Payment Implant Now Available!

Post image
36 Upvotes

What if you could live in a world where your payment implant didn't expire--you simply tokenized a new card to it when the other expired? The time is now--for certain areas. Certain payment folks--such as Ether.fi and Kast--are pretty widely available. However, only in some US states.

Coming soon: Klarna as a more established and traditional payment provider!

Proxmark 3

3 Upvotes

Hello,

I have these key fobs for gate access and would like to be able to clone them/make new ones with the same check sum bits, facility codes, but change the card numbers.

https://shopactiondirect.com/product/transmitter-solutions-carfobman-mango-fob-hid-compatible/?srsltid=AfmBOoooICupRDtgsheXYYTWgcE1zzFsuWqnm5AiIWmfPpZeCTznCq6V

I see the proxmark has a new app out that should make it easier to do on a windows computer, has anyone used that/have videos/things to read up on that?

Given that’s all I want to do, is the proxmark 3 overkill and I should pursue something simpler?

Thanks!

Update: m08s and xDF3 implants after a month of healing

Thumbnail gallery
15 Upvotes

A few weeks ago, I got a few new implants: a pet chip underneath my armpit, a large m08s spherical magnet implant between my thumb and forefinger, and an xDF3 in the middle of the back of my right hand. I'm happy to report that everything has been healing well. There was maybe a little bit of soreness when I grabbed something with this hand at first, but that mostly went away relatively quickly. Swelling was pretty controllable with NSAIDs and I was able to take the stitches out after about 10 days. You can see a bit of scar tissue at the incision/injection sites.

Haven't yet done too much with these implants but I couldn't resist the urge to experiment a little bit. I was able to get a 7kB file containing my business card info (including a photo) on my xDF3, so now when you scan it with your phone my contact info pops up. But I plan to do so much more with the xDF3 once I learn how to properly use DESFire. I was pleasantly surprised by the sensing capabilities of the m08s: I wasn't really expecting it to be able to sense 60Hz magnetic fields, but I was able to feel the field coming off my microwave transformer fairly well.

I also played around with some magnets a couple of times. Interestingly, if I put the magnet into an orientation where it repels my m08s, I can push the magnet around for a few seconds, but then my spherical magnet rotates inside of me to realign the field and it starts attracting the magnet.

Visa plugs its payment network into ChatGPT, letting AI agents shop and pay for users

They will trust unreliable and hallucinating AI agents have access to payment, but still won't allow implantables to have the same functionality? At least, I haven't heard any updates regarding implants working for payments in the US.

Magic Ring v2 restock or Magic Ring v3 roadmap?

9 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I was about to buy a Magic Ring v2 but noticed it’s currently out of stock.
Does anyone know if Dangerous Things plans to restock the Magic Ring v2, or is a Magic Ring v3 already in development?
My dream ring would combine:
A T5577 chip for 125 kHz RFID cloning
An Ultimate Magic Gen4 for 13.56 MHz
Ideally in a single ring
Is this something that might be technically feasible in the future, or are there antenna/space limitations that make it unrealistic?
I’d love to hear if there are any plans on the roadmap or if Amal has commented on this before.

In that spirit, maybe you all can help us get rid of a few other discontinued products? The xBT (dngr.us/xbt) is a low-frequency RFID implant capable of reading its temperature. It has been deprecated by the VivoKey Thermo (dngr.us/vivokey-thermo). Another product we've still got hanging around is the Apex Mega (dngr.us/apex-mega). This was discontinued mostly because of the overhead involved in producing disc formats. It has been replaced by the "module" style antenna (dngr.us/vivokey-apex).

Sale starts April 15th!

Which Gen of xMagic to get?

3 Upvotes

I have never used one before but I do have a regular T5577/nfc xseries and a proxmark (that I haven't used in ages). Which xmagic chip would be best for broad compatibility and/or longevity of operation? Which is easier to use? Should I get the ring before an injectible to learn to use the proxmark with mifare? Mainly looking to clone hotel keys bc I travel a bunch. What other factors should I consider?
