  • Convert Flipper NFC file to Proxmark3 dump?
    4 projects | /r/flipperzero | 30 Nov 2022
    Hi, my new beta release of Mifare windows tools can make conversion from/to Android (MCT) / Libnfc (MWT) / flipper Zero --> https://github.com/xavave/Mifare-Windows-Tool/releases/tag/beta1.5.8370.41492
  • Mifare card not properly cloned
    1 project | /r/RFID | 30 Apr 2022
    nfc-mfclassic W b cardtocopy.dmp blank.dmp (after dumping both cards with mfoc). I use MWT (https://github.com/xavave/Mifare-Windows-Tool, which uses mfdread to read the dumps and display the next to each other) to read both cards and compare them, and as far as I can see they're identical.

    Now that you have your card itโ€™s time to write to it. Different operating systems does things a little bit differently. On windows theres some different tools that you can use but i recommend https://github.com/xavave/Mifare-Windows-Tool which has a simple setup process and nice buttons

  • Flipper Zero: Multi-Tool Device for Geeks
    9 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 21 Jan 2024
    I would check out the Proxmark3 Github repo [0]. They have a cheatsheet [1] with the basics on how to get started. I also did a talk about RFID security last year about the basics [2]

    To get started, the basics are: low freq (LF) is usually around 125khz and is rarely encrypted (HID Prox is the most common in the US). The data is often encoded in Wiegand format for access control systems (something to keep in mind when reading the raw data).

    High freq (HF) (aka NFC) is ~13Mhz and is readable by most Android phones with NFC. Not all tag data can be read however. HF cards support a lot of different options including data storage (normally in a block layout with permissions to read and write depending on keys) and encryption (iCLASS and SEOS being the HID offerings and very common). Some can be cloned (like hotel cards) while others (like SEOS) require a downgrade attack to work correctly (SEOS -> normal SEOS reader -> Weigand data -> older style card like HID Prox).
