Overview
Explore a sophisticated PIN brute force attack methodology against EMV bank cards in this conference talk from Ekoparty 2021. Delve into how inadequate implementation could potentially compromise the security of millions of contact EMV cards, despite the presumed impossibility of such attacks on secured EMV systems. Learn about the intricacies of this extreme attack technique targeting 10,000 combinations of 4-digit PINs. Gain insights from security researcher Salvador Mendoza, known for his expertise in tokenization processes, payment systems, and specialized prototypes. Discover how this presentation fits into Mendoza's broader body of work, which includes designing tools for pentesting mag-stripe information and authoring a book on digital payment system hacking.
