Tools that can help to verify the originality of MIFARE ICs:

  • Proxmark3 is a RFID Swiss Army Knife. It can also be used for cracking Mifare Classic keys. This doesn't use any of the instructions described here, instead see the proxmark3 wiki page for more information. The price quoted is for the bare board and HF antenna from Ryscc (US).
  • Since then, a lot of public exploits to crack MIFARE Classic tags have been developed. We are going to use one of them for this project. Cracking the card To perform this attack, you will need a computer running Kali Linux, a PN532 NFC/RFID controller breakout board and a USB to TTL Serial Cable. You can use any other Linux distribution than.

Cracking an RFID Card The ultimate goal when attacking a Mifare card, or any RFID card, is to achieve read/write access on the contents of the card's memory. From here it would be possible to clone a card, write arbitrary values (such as stored subway credits), and, if you're lucky, modify arbitrary cards using the same service.
