What is Reddit's opinion of eCL0WN: an NFC passport tool?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

If you have a modern Android phone with NFC you can use this app to read the chip in the Passport. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dexlab.eCL0WN

Practice on your own passport first as it can be a bit tricky to use.

This isn't a perfect check - but it should show if there's a chip and if the information on it matches the printed information.

For bank accounts, the only way you can test if it is his is by telling him you'll transfer a random amount between £1 & £2 and asking him how much he received.

Again, doesn't prove it is his name on the account, just that he has access to it.

Ne čudi me da je BIA retardirana, ali pasoš (biometrijski) se ne može falsifikovati od strane par šiptara u kafiću kraj regionalnog puta.

Ko ima NFC na telefonu, neka skine:

Iz pasoša možeš lepo iščitati sliku, informacije sa pasoša, itd. itd., potpisan sa serijskim brojem pasoša. Kada čika graničar uzme to čudo, neće ga zajebati neka prelepljena slika.

Falsifikovani pasoši (dakle, izdati od nekoga ko nije imao pristup medijima za izdavanje) jedino mogu služiti u nekim žnj Afričkim državama, i za prikazivanje policiji i inspekcijama nabrzinu (što naši gastosi rade u Beču sa falš Bugarskim pasošima).

You are incorrect. You can extract the image from a passport's chip using an Android phone.
