• Clone MIFARE Classic tags
(Write dump of a tag to another tag; write 'dump-wise')

MCT will try to authenticate with these
keys against all sectors and read as much as possible.)

• Compare dumps (Diff Tool)
• Display generic tag information
• Display the tag data as highlighted hex
• Display the tag data as 7-Bit US-ASCII
• Display the MIFARE Classic Access Conditions as a table

IMPORTANT NOTES
Some important things are:
• The features this tool provides are very basic. There are no such
fancy things like saving a URL to an RFID-Tag with a nice looking
graphical user interface. If you want so save things on a tag,
you have to input the raw hexadecimal data.
• This App can
NOT crack/hack
any MIFARE Classic keys. If you want to read/write an RFID-Tag, you
need keys for this specific tag first. For additional information
please read/see
Getting Started from the links section.
• There will be
no "brute-force" attack
capability in this application. It is way too slow due
to the protocol.
• The first block of the first sector of an
original
MIFARE Classic tag is
read-only i.e. not writable. But there
are
special MIFARE Classic tags (aka magic tag gen2) that
support writing to the manufacturer block with a simple write command.
This App is able to write to such tags and can therefore create fully
correct clones. However, some special tags require a
special command
sequence to put them into the state where writing to the manufacturer
block is possible.
These tags will not work.
Remember this when you are shopping for special tags!
• This app will
NOT work on some devices because
their hardware (NFC-controller) does not support MIFARE Classic
( https://github.com/ikarus23/MifareClassicTool/issues/1 ).
