Coercing a Magic MIFARE credential into being an iPhone-compatible NFC tag
My read of the proxmark code (https://github.com/RfidResearchGroup/proxmark3/blob/master/c...) is that the `ndefformat` formatted the tag MAD (https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/application-note/AN10787.pdf), which you'd do for NDEF, then had a single TLV TERMINATOR at the block where the NDEF message starts. Then he used NFC Tools to write on an NDEF text record (which iOS background reading would ignore) and maybe something else? After that he then used `ndefwrite` to write on a URL record. I wonder if he could have skipped the NFC Tools and written the URL record and gotten the same result. Proxmark dumps before and after using NFC Tools would be insightful.

MicroPython on Flipper Zero
You may bump into limits of your Proxmark clone with hardnested cracking - it's memory intensive, and most of the Proxmark Easy clones have reduced RAM.
There's actually an auto_crack LUA script on proxmark ( Use this fork: https://github.com/RfidResearchGroup/proxmark3 ) which will take most of the hassle out of cracking.
Cracking requires very, very precise timing: In a nutshell, you're trying to predict nonces / PRNG values, by sending very precicesly timed requests, and then later cracking those results.
The Flipper has limited CPU power - its main "attack vector" against MIFARE is a very large keylist / dictionary of common MIFARE keys. It's slow and dumb, but it works for most cases. It can also do limited cracking, depending on the type required.
The Proxmark is built around an FPGA, and can crack much, much more efficiently.

Flipper Zero: Multi-Tool Device for Geeks
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).
