I use a wallet that's basically a stainless steel core wrapped in a leather body. You slip cards on one side of the core, and the other side has a money clip with a leather fold over it. The manufacturer advertised that the wallet would protect from RFID scanning, but I've always wondered how that would work when the cards rest on only one side of the metal core. Now I know. Thanks Deviant.
The slightly more technical explanation is that RFID cards are LC tank circuits, and the foil acts as a parasitic capacitance with the coil, changing the resonant frequency enough to prevent the read. That's why the Dangerous Things card didn't work as well, since it's resonant at the same frequencies. So it just reduced the power, instead of de-tuning the circuit.
The same company that makes the badge holder also makes a wallet. I have been using it since my employer switched to the RFID-blocking holder - and after 2 years of daily use it still does the job. Love your videos - they opened my eyes to issues that had been completely off my radar. Thanks!
7:18 *raises hand* Years ago they encouraged people to buy these in our office. Then the agency switched to two-factor authentication for system access, which involves inserting the card into the reader, so back to the sliding. Those can also be awkward to use when you're wearing the lanyard and the reader isn't a convenient distance away. Two-factor always seemed dodgy to me. In a large office at least some people leave their cards in their machines for extended periods, or even forget them over night. I'm sure every once in a while one of those people also has their PIN conveniently recorded on a note stuck to the monitor. It also means if you have an empty lanyard and no badge you can just claim you left it in your computer.
Are you saying that unused condom packet that's been in my wallet for years has been protecting my bank cards? Well done Trojan, well done. Have a sip of wine on me.
My dad being overly concerned about his bank cards uses mylar sleeves for his cards... I noticed an unexpected funny side effect where all his card details emboss themselves into the sleeve
I have a federal CAC and the copper sheath that they put your card in at issue before they hand it over to you works well. I use 2 of the sleeves, and sandwich all of my cards (credit, ID, etc) in a stack in my wallet and it works wonders. Cool video! Thanks and keep up the great work! Wine! Lol
We have been using the Stronghold DuoLites for many years since we have to multiple credentials. I prefer the slide 1 inch out to the bulkier hinged version. We have switched over to SkimSafe holders cause the cost is a little cheaper.
Great Video! The electrical terms for this setup would be low/high/band- pass filters. Its a combination of inductors and/or capacitors or inductive and/or capacitive traits of certain materials which then let only a band of frequencies pass, which then the 13,56 MHz is hopefully NOT a part of. Basically blocking out the RFsignals around them
Really glad you posted this! I was just messing around with my work badge and thinking back to all those stories you told about grabbing rf credentials from over a foot away with that backpack reader, and I started to wonder if a simple solution existed that didn't involve one of those sleeves that are such a pain. I actually opened up your channel to look for your twitter link to tweet at you asking if you had any easy solutions to that, and lo and behold you already answered my question nearly a month before I asked it! Still wonder if there isn't maybe an even cleverer solution that doesn't require you to squeeze it at all, maybe a retractible sleeve that hangs the card next to an interfering foil sheet when it's on your belt, but when you pull it away to present it leaves the foil on your belt? Will have to do some tinkering later.
It's good to know how easy it is to protect these cards. Thank you for sharing this knowledge. As for wine, I'm partial to my local wineries fortified chardonnay. It's from Uleybury Wines in South Australia. I would recommend if you ever come to Adelaide.
I am glad I watched this. Recently my ID badge has not been working to get into work when I put my wallet up against the reader. Well now I know its because of the chase card I got which has a metal insert inside it. I sat these two cards next to each other when I got a new wallet. So that card has to be acting like this piece of foil/ID holder does. Because if i separate my wallet it works fine but if its closed all rfid fails to read.
Identify Stonghold makes some great products. We use those badge holders for work and they are very simple. Great video! Keep the videos coming and thanks for what you do! “In vino veritas” (In wine there is truth)
When I worked for the "Government", the FAA supplied all workers with that RFID blocker. We were not allowed to keep our badges outside the blocker. wine
very cool! I slipped some thin pieces of mu metal into my wallet years ago, blocks pretty much everything. Our Quaranteen Dinner Friday was rack of lamb, veggies, and red wine -- a pinot. Stay safe!
Thank you for this video, I've been wondering about this kind of stuff for quite a while now. This answered pretty much all of my questions on the matter! Also, ice wine is one of the most delicious things ever, and you will not change my mind!
the stronghold rfid blockers come in a few different models. note that the plastic lanyard hole can break off if used often so it’s good to have more than one. i like the spring loaded open one you have although their 2-card holder that has you slide it out partially is also nifty. the rdv4 comes with different antenna accessories. the default antenna you were using (that comes in that kit) has two switches that can help hone in on hf or lf. so that test basically shows what it’s like out of the box. tested real id drivers licenses and not sure about certain states but no rfid was detected. passports, you need the bigger antenna attachment and press down on the open cover to have it read something...
I love your choice in wine, a solid cabernet is a good wine for the average whiskey drinker. I do have to ask, for the subdermal RFID implants, how would one block that? Just a fun theory question.
I'm just starting my own experimentation with RFID cards, so this was very helpful. Sadly, wine always gives me a headache, so I'll stick to a nice brown ale.
Interesting card and looking at your hand brought up the thought couldn't you make a frequency reader as a ring to make it less obvious.? A second thought can to mind what if your ring was able to scan a stranger's card you picked up and save the data to inbuilt memory to replay later.
Enjoyed the video & info. People don't have to whine anymore about stolen credentials while they're out having wine (or preferably Booker's Bourbon, neat) with friends. Keep yourselves & your credentials safe!
what about multiple cards stacked behind each other? shouldn't that block it as they will work as a sink too, or just cause collisions up to a state where it's barely readable.
It does work sometimes. But not always and it's not reliable. How did I test this? Having two access cards (office building and parking) in my cardholder and using it to get into the building. Same setup as my colleague. I would never have any problems getting in to the building, but it wouldn't work at the parking facility. My colleague always had to take his card out to get into either. More cards might make it more likely to fair on read, but we also has people with a wallet full of cards that still read as the tapped in at work....so no guaranties.
I have been following your RFID videos for a while now, and this one is most intriguing. Since most of us carry more than one "Secure" card. My question is: What would be the outcome if you had 2 High Frequency cards next to each other, or 2 Lo Freq. cards. or one high and one lo freq. in your wallet with the cards either facing each other or back to back. would the reader be confused by "activing" both cards at once? Thank You for your expertise and casual way of getting difficult points across.
Great presentation! What would happen if you stacked 2 or more RFID cards together? Perhaps it would corrupt the message if two or more cards responded at the same time.
That identifier card is absolutely on my wishlist. Too bad going out in public is highly frowned upon and a bit dangerous atm. Wine is a great pastime for now though
At first I thought they managed to make destructive interference work, but actual mechanism is even more simple and ingenious. I believe the physics behind this blocker is the reason why transformer cores are laminated-solid cores can suck a lot more energy out of the system.
like watching your stuff with the guys over at scam stuff with brian brushwood ... and also watching your various lock picking stuff on youtube man ... have a glass of wine and have a good day
Great video! Do you know if this protection can be overcome with high power RFID readers? I suppose this protective sleeve won't work well enough against a man with such a reader in his backpack stopping by you for a few seconds.
Not to wine complain and add another thing to test and see if it works or not, but I'm now curious if something like the Amex platinum is robust enough of a metal card to prevent credentials behind it from being read/intercepted.
Playing around with rfid looks interesting. A few questions about the proxmark (3?). First, where is a legitimate source for it? Are here any technical document so I can read up on its capabilities, and can the software component run in most linix distros natively? or will I need to use wine?
Is anyone doing RFID cards that have a momentary switch built in, so it'll only read while you're pressing the button? That way you could even squeeze the button through your wallet for convenience. With compliant mechanisms, I bet a pushbutton could be designed right into the plastic of the card.
I would not wine about having this neat little flashlight.

Interesting stuff. Do you know if this approach works as well with NFC e.g. for protecting bank cards and credit cards that support contactless payment?
These clamp style card holders are actually standard issue in some Dutch government offices. I have mine from when I used to work in one such building. That's over 10 years ago....so these have been around for a while now :)
I've never seen an RFID reader in any consumer electronic device like a tablet or laptop that does low frequency... Only NFC which is a subset of high frequency
Unrelated to the main video, but have you ever used any of those little USB PCB flashlights? Where it's just a couple of LEDs mounted on a PCB you just slap into a USB port? Nice way to have a light source if you've got a power bank, or anything with a USB port.
That card thing that lights up to indicate something is probing it. That's really cool. And I'm guessing it would still work if you made that to also serve as the code blocking metal thing? Now you have your clone protection but also an alarm that can come in handy if you work with this stuff, but also reveal an attempt if someone tries something discrete. I'd pay 10-15 bucks for that.
Great video, had a pretty good idea of how things worked from my own experience, but I definately learned a thing or two and learned about some cool products. I'm more of a beer guy, but I won't wine
So if you had a wallet that had a thin layer of metal, probably aluminum, embedded throughout the whole thing would it work just as well? And on the flip side, if you used a more powerful reader, like say one of the sniffers you carry in a messenger bag, would it pump out enough power to get a read?
I'm actually making three different wines currently, a Malbec, an Old Vine Zin and a Port wine made with Old Vine Zin and fortified with high proof brandy which is currently aging since it only took a couple of weeks to make.
Can you read multiple cards at once? My favorite strategy for blocking cards (primarily credit cards) from being read is having multiple of them in the same wallet. Always assumed it was interference that caused problems with it, didn't even think the cards could be competing for power to the point that some of them refused to even function correctly. Granted, I didn't check with any fancy equipment, just tried contactless payment and failed.
Please excuse my ignorance,but is this the same with credit and debit cards , the cards you used seemed to be access type cards ? I am not a hacker type ! I only have a kindle ! Have got here through watching DeviantOllam lock picking ,I would really appreciate an answer . Thankyou
After high school and before college I worked as a bartender at a steakhouse. One a man in a fancy pinstriped suit and custom pins sat down to order dinner. He placed a meticulous order and then asked for a glass of merlot. But he pronounced it M-er-l-aw-t. Awt!!!! I said “Right away sir”. A few minutes later I retold the story to a co worker who said I should have suggested an order of fa-gee-tas with galapenos beforehand. But I think he just wanted the wine
I bought these protectors a couple time so far from Identity Stronghold, I have found with Clamshell HID cards it's 50/50 that it will still read or be blocked. So with clamshell it's not a 100% reading block when closed.
Wine is definitely good for your health. I carry a couple pieces of aluminum can in my wallet. One on each outer layer of the wallet. It servers two purposes, one is the RFID blocking and the other is to cut into a shim if I want to open a cheap padlock.

Great video, had a pretty good idea of how things worked from my own experience, but I definately learned a thing or two and learned about some cool products. I'm more of a beer guy, but I won't wine
A couple of nice sterling silver cards sound interesting
I whine when I miss deviant ollams video but when I watch them it's always with wine
Keeping it classy with the wine. I like it.
So if you had a wallet that had a thin layer of metal, probably aluminum, embedded throughout the whole thing would it work just as well? And on the flip side, if you used a more powerful reader, like say one of the sniffers you carry in a messenger bag, would it pump out enough power to get a read?
I don't want to wine ....
But I could use one of those...
Great video 👍
I was hoping you would do this this when I was watching The Modern Rogue. Thanks
I'm actually making three different wines currently, a Malbec, an Old Vine Zin and a Port wine made with Old Vine Zin and fortified with high proof brandy which is currently aging since it only took a couple of weeks to make.
I like wine. I like whiskey. It's 930 am and I'm having a drinky. Shelter in place 2020
Wine, I hear it is good with fava beans and human liver. Thanks for the vid, this explained a lot to me.
Can you read multiple cards at once?
My favorite strategy for blocking cards (primarily credit cards) from being read is having multiple of them in the same wallet. Always assumed it was interference that caused problems with it, didn't even think the cards could be competing for power to the point that some of them refused to even function correctly. Granted, I didn't check with any fancy equipment, just tried contactless payment and failed.
I love the hand acting
Beer dulls a memory, brand sets it burning, but wine is perfect for a heart set burning.
Please excuse my ignorance,but is this the same with credit and debit cards , the cards you used seemed to be access type cards ? I am not a hacker type ! I only have a kindle ! Have got here through watching DeviantOllam lock picking ,I would really appreciate an answer . Thankyou
7:02 whaaaaaa
Love it.
Deviant soundboard is coming
I wouldn't mind a glass of wine. Or that nifty little flashlight.
After high school and before college I worked as a bartender at a steakhouse. One a man in a fancy pinstriped suit and custom pins sat down to order dinner. He placed a meticulous order and then asked for a glass of merlot. But he pronounced it M-er-l-aw-t. Awt!!!! I said “Right away sir”. A few minutes later I retold the story to a co worker who said I should have suggested an order of fa-gee-tas with galapenos beforehand. But I think he just wanted the wine
The perfect complement for a tinfoil hat: a tinfoil wallet
I bought these protectors a couple time so far from Identity Stronghold, I have found with Clamshell HID cards it's 50/50 that it will still read or be blocked. So with clamshell it's not a 100% reading block when closed.
Wine is definitely good for your health. I carry a couple pieces of aluminum can in my wallet. One on each outer layer of the wallet. It servers two purposes, one is the RFID blocking and the other is to cut into a shim if I want to open a cheap padlock.
