This is none of the regular card-reader devices that get connected to the PC via wire. It stays seperate like that cup of tea on my table.  There is no sense in wanting to crack these devices. You get no benefit from that alone. You can buy it legally and freely. They are not equipped with anything that makes them encoded in themselves, or "individual" units.
Check the video on this site, a bit down there. The video is almost self-explaining, no matter the language.
On cellphones, I use a simple this one. Prepayed card 15 Euros, last 2 years and becomes invalid with most money not used. Not much nonsense on it, just an emergency sender and receiver. No blue tooth. No virusses. No problems with costs exploding when it gets stolen. Plus it looks elegant, is robust, has long standby and talking time. Life is simplier without smart phones! |
Simple cheap cellphone, that i agree with you
The only thing that i have against TAN generators is that it is not actually better than a TAN list
Because it preforms the same function, and that it doesn't do it that much better
by the way, the old tan generators were simply a flashdrive with a list of TANs on it and a small software to automatically pick TANs for you. those were worse than a TAN list
