T55xx

^Top

The temic T55xx/Atmel ATA5577 is the most commonly used chip for cloning LF RFIDs.

A useful document can be found here.

Characteristics

  • 28/24 bytes of user memory (without/with password)
  • Universal output settings (data rate, modulation, etc)
  • Password protection (4 bytes), usually "19920427"
  • Lock bits per page
  • Analog frontend setup
  • Other names:
    • 5577
    • 5200 (CN)
      • Cut down version of T55xx chip (no analog frontend setup, no test mode support).
    • H2 (RU)
      • Seems to be renamed 5200 chip.
    • RW125T5 (RU)
  • Old variant "T5555" is hard to come across

Detect

...
[+] Chipset detection: T55xx

This will not work if you have a downlink mode other than fixed bit length!

Commands

See ATMEL ATA5577C datasheet for sending commands to chip

  • Do not mix "password read" and "regular write" commands! You risk potentially writing incorrect data.
  • When replying, the chip will use the modulation and data rate specified in block 0.

EM4x05

^Top

The EM4305 and EM4205 (and 4469/4569) chips are the 2nd most common used chips for cloning LF RFIDs. It is also used by HID Global (but with a custom chip) for HIDProx credentials.

Characteristics

  • 36 bytes of user memory
  • Output settings are limited (ASK only, FSK added on HID variant)
  • Password protection (4 bytes), usually "84AC15E2"
  • Lock page used
  • Other names:
    • H3 (RU)
    • RW125EM (RU)

ID82xx series

^Top

These are custom Chinese chips mainly used to clone EM IDs. Often times, these are redesigned clones of Hitag chips.

ID8265

^Top

This is the cheapest and most common ID82xx chip available. It is usually sold as T55xx on AliExpress, with excuses to use cloners.

Characteristics

  • Chip is likely a cut down version of Hitag μ (micro) clone
  • UID 00 00 00 00 00 00
  • Password protection (4b), usually "00000000"(default) or "9AC4999C"(FURUI)
  • CON0
    • bit 0-1 -> data rate ’00’... 2kbit/s ’01’... 4kbit/s ’10’... 8kbit/s ’11’... 2kbit/s
    • bit 2 when set, fixed to MC 2kbit/s
    • bit 3-6 reversed? all blocks always read without password and write with password
    • bit 7 -> enable TTF
  • Currently unimplemented in proxmark3 client
  • Other names:
    • ID8210 (CN)
    • H-125 (CN)
    • H5 (RU)
      • The sales of "H5" have been ceased because "the chip was leaked".

ISO14443A

Identifying broken ISO14443A magic

^Top

When a magic card configuration is really messed up and the card is not labeled, it may be hard to find out which type of card it is.

Here are some tips if the card doesn't react or gives error on a simple hf 14a reader:

Let's force a 4b UID anticollision and see what happens:

hf 14a config --atqa force --bcc ignore --cl2 skip --rats skip
hf 14a reader

It it responds, we know it's a TypeA card. But maybe it's a 7b UID, so let's force a 7b UID anticollision:

hf 14a config --atqa force --bcc ignore --cl2 force --cl3 skip --rats skip
hf 14a reader

At this stage, you know if it's a TypeA 4b or 7b card and you can check further on this page how to reconfigure different types of cards.

To restore anticollision config of the Proxmark3:

hf 14a config --std

Mifare Classic Direct Write OTP

^Top

Chip manufactured by iKey LLC as a bypass for Gen1 filters. Support Direct Write as CUID, but block0 can be written only once.

The chip had an issue in the protocol implementation.

The reader could interrupt radiofield for 2-3 microseconds (standard pause in the bit period of ISO14443-2). After the response to first 26 (7) command, but before the following 93 70 command. In that case original M1 card will stop the flow, but OTP will continue it.

That issue led to the development of the filters against that card and discontinuation of the production.

As a successor, OTP 2.0 was created.

It seems the length byte gets ignored anyway.

Note: it seems some cards only accept the "change UID" command.

It accepts direct read of block0 (and only block0) without prior auth.

Writing to block 0 has some side-effects:

  • It changes also the UID. Changing the UID does not change block 0.
  • ATQA and SAK bytes are automatically replaced by fixed values.
  • On 4-byte UID cards, BCC byte is automatically corrected.

To enable an option, set it to 5A.
* 5A - unfused F0. C3 - F0: CL2 UID; A5 - F1: CL2 UID with anticollision shortcut; 87 - F2: CL1 Random UID; 69 - F3: CL1 non-UID. Anything else is going to be ignored, and set as 4 bytes.
** Do not change the real ACL! Backdoor commands only acknowledge FF0780. To recover, disable this byte and issue regular write to sector trailer.
*** If perso byte is enabled, this SAK is ignored, and hidden SAK is used instead.
  • Gen1a mode: Allow using custom wakeup commands, like real gen1a chip, to run backdoor commands, as well as some extras.
  • Magic wakeup command: Use different wakeup commands for entering Gen1a mode. A) 00 - 40(7), 43; B) 85 - 20(7), 23.
  • Block use of Key B if readable by ACL: Per the MF1ICS50 datasheet, if Key B is readable by the ACL, using it shall give a Cmd Error 04. This option controls whether it happens or not.
  • CUID mode: Allow direct write to block 0, instead of giving Cmd Error 04.
  • MFC EV1 CL2 Perso config: When configured, the tag behaves like a real Mifare Classic EV1 7B UID tag, and reads UID from backdoor blocks. Otherwise, the tag acts like a 4 byte tag.
  • Shadow mode: Writes to memory persisting in tag RAM. As soon as no power is left, the contents are restored to saved data.
  • Magic Auth Command: Acknowledge command 8000 after selection, and call for Crypto1 auth with key 000000000000.
  • Static encrypted nonce mode: Use static encrypted nonces for authentication, making key recovery impossible.
  • Signature sector: Acknowledge auth commands to sector 17, which is stored in backdoor sector 1.
  • SAK: If perso byte is not set, after UID select, send this value.

Not all tags are the same! UFUID, ZUID and PFUID* are not full implementations of Magic85 - they only acknowledge the first 8 (except wakeup command) and last config byte(s).

*Read and write config commands are flipped

Well-known variations are described below.

FUID

^Top

Known as "write only once", which is only partially true.

Allows direct write to block 0 only when UID is default AA55C396. But always could be rewritten multiple times with backdoors commands.

Backdoor commands are available even after the personalization and makes that tag detectable.

That's a key difference from OTP/OTP 2.0 tags.

Characteristics

^Top

  • Configuration block value: 7AFF85000000000000FF000000000008
  • Initial UID: AA55C396
  • Allows direct write to the block 0 (before the personalisation), so is Android compatible
  • Responds to magic wakeup 20(7), 23 commands

UFUID

^Top

The tag is positioned as "sealable UID", so that means you could use the same commands, as you could use for UID chip in a default state. But after the sealing (changing the configuration) tag will not answer to the backdoor commands and will behave as a normal Mifare Classic tag.

But at the same time there is some unidentified behavior, which doesn't fully corresponds the protocol and original Mifare Classic tags. So the tag could be filtered out with a protocol-based filters (i.e. Iron Logic OTP2 filter).

Characteristics

^Top

  • Configuration block value: 7AFF000000000000BAFA000000000008
  • No direct write to block 0
  • Responds to magic wakeup 40(7), 43 commands before the sealing
  • Acknowledge only the first (except wakeup command) and last config byte(s), so doesn't have the hidden block

MIFARE Classic Super

^Top

It behaves like regular Mifare Classic but records reader auth attempts.

MIFARE Classic Super Gen1

^Top

Old type of cards, hard to obtain. They are DirectWrite, UID can be changed via 0 block or backdoor commands.

  • UID: 4b version
  • ATQA/SAK: fixed
  • BCC: auto
  • ATS: fixed, 0978009102DABC1910F005

ATQA/SAK matches 1k card, but works as 4k card.

Backdoor commands provided over APDU. Format:

00 A6 A0 00 05 FF FF FF FF 00
^^ ^^                         Backdoor command header
      ^^                      Backdoor command (A0 - set UID/B0 - get trace/C0 - reset card)
         ^^                   Type of answer (used in key recovery to select trace number)
            ^^                Length of user provided data
               ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ User data

👉 You can't change UID with backdoor command if incorrect data is written to the 0 sector trailer!

MIFARE Classic Super Gen1B

DirectWrite card, ATS unknown. Probably same as Gen1, except backdoor commands. Implementation: https://github.com/netscylla/super-card/blob/master/libnfc-1.7.1/utils/nfc-super.c

MIFARE Classic Super Gen2

^Top

New generation of cards, based on limited Gen4 chip. Emulates Gen1 backdoor protocol, but can store up to 7 different traces.

Card always answers ff ff ff ff as at, so reading/writing it via Mifare protocol is impossible.

UID is changeable via UMC backdoor write to 0 block.

  • UID: 4b and 7b versions
  • ATQA/SAK: fixed
  • BCC: auto
  • ATS: changeable, default as Gen1

Gen4 commands available:

CF <passwd> 34 <1b length><0-16b ATS>            // Configure ATS
CF <passwd> CC                                   // Version information, returns 00 00 00 02 AA
CF <passwd> CD <1b block number><16b block data> // Backdoor write 16b block

MIFARE Ultralight USCUID-UL

^Top

TLDR: These magic cards, like the MFC USCUIDs have a 16 byte long configuration page, comprised of 4 blocks of 4 bytes each. This usually starts with 0x85. All of the known tags use the same format config page.

The cards will respond to a RATS with the config page in the factory configuration.

As with the MFC USCUIDs, one cannot turn a Classic tag into an Ultralight and vice-versa!

Characteristics

^Top

  • UID: 7 bytes
  • ATQA: always read from hidden block F6
  • SAK: always read from hidden block F6
  • BCC: read from blocks 0-1 per Ultralight specification
  • ATS: These respond to an ATS request with the config page in factory mode.

  • Gen1a mode: Allow using custom wakeup commands, like real gen1a chip, to run backdoor commands, as well as some extras.

  • Config available using regular mode: If this option is turned on via A0, the tag will reply to RATS with the config block and the config block can be modified without doing a magic wakeup.

To write config:

You must send config info in E2 packets of 4 bytes each (format: E2[offset*4, 1b][data, 4b]), eg for a UL-11 tag:

To read / write hidden blocks:

A config block beginning with 7AFF must be set to enable a 40:43 / 20:23 magic wakeup. From limited testing, the 20:23 magic wakeup is not guaranteed to work, however the 40:43 wakeup works 100% of the time.

You must send config info in A2 packets of 4 bytes each (format: A2[offset*4, 1b][data, 4b]), eg for a UL-11 tag:

hf 14a raw -akb 7 40; hf 14a raw -k 43; hf 14a raw -ck A2F2000000BD; hf 14a raw -ck A2F3000000BD; hf 14a raw -ck A2F4000000BD; hf 14a raw -ck A2F644000400; hf 14a raw -c A2F888AF0000

^Top ^^Gen4

👉 TODO If the password is not default, Tag doesn't get identified correctly by latest Proxmark3 client (it might get mislabeled as MFC Gen2/CUID, Gen3/APDU or NTAG21x Modifiable, depending on configured UID/ATQA/SAK/ATS)

👉 TODO Using C6 command can change config due to a bug in some cards. CC should be used instead.

[+] Magic capabilities : Gen 4 GTU

The card will be identified only if the password is the default one. One can identify manually such card if the password is still the default one, with the command to get the current configuration:

hf 14a raw -s -c -t 1000 CF00000000C6

If the card is an Ultimate Magic Card, it returns 30 or 32 bytes.

Magic commands

  • ⚠ ATQA bytes that result in iso14443a card select failed (I.E. ATQA=0040 in raw form) can be corrected with hf 14a config --atqa force
  • ⚠ when SAK bit 6 is set (e.g. SAK=20 or 28), ATS must be turned on, otherwise the card may not be recognized by some readers!
  • ⚠ never set SAK bit 3 (e.g. SAK=04), it indicates an extra cascade level is required (see hf 14a config --cl2 skip or hf 14a config --cl3 skip to recover a misconfigured card)

Example: ATQA 0044 SAK 28, default pwd

hf 14a raw -s -c -t 1000 CF0000000035440028

OR (Note the script will correct the ATQA correctly)

Change ATS

^Top ^^Gen4

hf 14a raw -s -c -t 1000 CF<passwd>34<1b length><0-16b ATS>
  • <length>: ATS length byte, set to 00 to disable ATS
  • ⚠ when SAK bit 6 is set (e.g. SAK=20 or 28), ATS must be turned on, otherwise the card may not be recognized by some readers!
  • ATS CRC will be added automatically, don't configure it
  • Max ATS length: 16 bytes (+CRC)

Set 14443A UID

^Top ^^Gen4

UID is configured according to block0 with a backdoor write. (Script commands are below the UID length examples)

Example: preparing first two blocks: (Note the UMC has to be in MFC mode and the correct UID byte length set)

hf 14a raw -s -c -t 1000 CF00000000CD00000102030405060708090A0B0C0D0E0F

script run hf_mf_ultimatecard -t 6 -u 00010203040506070809

Ultralight mode, 4b UID

=> UID 00010203

Ultralight mode, 7b UID

=> UID 00010210111213

👉 the UID is composed of first two blocks as in regular Ultralights

  • Examples
    • UL-EV1 48b = script run hf_mf_ultimatecard -t 12 -u 00010203040506
    • UL EV1 128b = script run hf_mf_ultimatecard -t 13 -u 00010203040506
    • NTAG 215 = script run hf_mf_ultimatecard -t 18 -u 00010203040506

Ultralight mode, 10b UID => UID 00010203040506070809 👉 the UID is composed only from block0

Set 14443B UID and ATQB

^Top ^^Gen4

  • UID and ATQB are configured according to block0 with a (14a) backdoor write.
  • UID size is always 4 bytes.
  • 14B will show up only on new cards. (Need more tests on new card. Example not work)

Example:

hf 14a raw -s -c -t 1000 CF00000000CD00000102030405060708090A0B0C0D0E0F
hf 14b reader

=> UID 00010203 => ATQB 0405060708090A

(De)Activate Ultralight mode

^Top ^^Gen4

hf 14a raw -s -c -t 1000 CF<passwd>69<1b param>
  • <param>
    • 00: MIFARE Classic mode
    • 01: MIFARE Ultralight/NTAG mode

Example: activate Ultralight protocol, default pwd

hf 14a raw -s -c -t 1000 CF000000006901

Or

script run hf_mf_ultimatecard -n 01

In this mode, if SAK=00 and ATQA=0044, it acts as an Ultralight card

⚠ only the first four bytes of each block will be mapped in the Ultralight memory map (so the Ultralight block numbers follow backdoor R/W block numbers).

Select Ultralight mode

^Top ^^Gen4

hf 14a raw -s -c -t 1000 CF<passwd>6A<1b param>
  • <param>
    • 00: UL EV1
    • 01: NTAG
    • 02: UL-C
    • 03: UL

⚠ it supposes Ultralight mode was activated (cf command 69)

Example: set Ultralight mode to Ultralight-C, default pwd

hf 14a raw -s -c -t 1000 CF000000006A02

Or

script run hf_mf_ultimatecard -m 02

Now the card supports the 3DES UL-C authentication.

Set Ultralight and M1 maximum read/write sectors

^Top ^^Gen4

hf 14a raw -s -c -t 1000 CF<passwd>6B<1b blocks>

Hexadecimal, maximum sector data, default 0xFF, range 0x00-0xFF

Example: set maximum 63 blocks read/write for Mifare Classic 1K

hf 14a raw -s -c -t 1000 CF000000006B3F

Set shadow mode (GTU)

^Top ^^Gen4

This description of shadow modes wroted by seller at marketpalces:

This mode is divided into four states: off (pre-write), on (on restore), don’t care, and high-speed read and write. If you use it, please enter the pre-write mode first. At this time, write the full card data. After writing, set it to on. At this time, after writing the data, the first time you read the data just written, the next time you read It is the pre-written data. All modes support this operation. It should be noted that using any block to read and write in this mode may give wrong results.

And these conclusions were made after a number of tests with UMC (new version, configured as MFC for example):

Mode Buffer Standart command (rdbl, wrbl e.t.c) Backdoor command (gsetblk, ggetblk, gload e.t.c.)
2,3 buf23 read/write from/to buf23 read/write from/to buf23
0 buf0 read from buf0, write to buf0 and buf23 read/write from/to buf23
4 - read from buf0, write to buf23 read/write from/to buf23

Mode 1: For new card this mode looks like a bug. Reading/writing first two block use buf23. Reading other blocks use invalid region of memory and all returned data looks like pseudo-random. All acl looks like invalid. All data is readable by the keys and acl wich was written in buf0. Any writing operations in this mode use copy of buf0 and only it. It`s not affected any other buffers. So if you change keys or/and acl you will must use new keys to read data.

Example (not work with new UMC): script run hf_mf_ultimatecard -w 1 -g 00 -t 18 -u 04112233445566 -s 112233445566778899001122334455667788990011223344556677 -p FFFFFFFF -a 8080 -o 11111111 -g 01

  • -w 1 = wipe the card in Ultralight Mode
  • -g 00 = turn on pre-write mode
  • -t 18 = change the type of card to NTAG 215
  • -u = set the uid
  • -s = set the signature
  • -p = set the NTAG password
  • -a = set the PACK
  • -o = set the OTP
  • -g 01 = turn on restore mode

At this point the card is set to a unwritten NTAG 215. Now any data written to the card will only last for 1 read. Write a popular game toy to it, read it, now it is back to the unwritten NTAG 215.

👉 Remember to disable GTU mode to get the card back to a normal state.

script run hf_mf_ultimatecard -g 03

hf 14a raw -s -c -t 1000 CF<passwd>32<1b param>
  • <param>
    • 00: pre-write, shadow data can be written
    • 01: restore mode
      • WARNING: new UMC (06a0) cards return garbage data when using 01
    • 02: disabled
    • 03: disabled, high speed R/W mode for Ultralight?
    • 04: split mode, work with new UMC. With old UMC is untested.

Direct block read and write

^Top ^^Gen4

Using the backdoor command, one can read and write any area without MFC password, similarly to MFC Gen1 card. It should be noted that this command must be used to modify UID.

Backdoor read 16b block:

hf 14a raw -s -c -t 1000 CF<passwd>CE<1b block number>

Backdoor write 16b block:

hf 14a raw -s -c -t 1000 CF<passwd>CD<1b block number><16b block data>

Read/Write operations work on 16 bytes, no matter the Ultralight mode.

Note that only the first four bytes of each block will be mapped in the Ultralight memory map.

Example: read block0, default pwd

hf 14a raw -s -c -t 1000 CF00000000CE00

Example: write block0 with factory data, default pwd

hf 14a raw -s -c -t 1000 CF00000000CD00112233441C000011778185BA18000000

(De)Activate direct write to block 0

^Top ^^Gen4

This command enables/disables direct writes to block 0.

hf 14a raw -s -c -t 1000 CF<passwd>CF<1b param>
  • <param>
    • 00: Activate direct write to block 0 (Same behaviour of Gen2 cards. Some readers may identify the card as magic)
    • 01: Deactivate direct write to block 0 (Same behaviour of vanilla cards)
    • 02: Default value. (Same behaviour as 00 (?))

Example: enable direct writes to block 0, default pwd

hf 14a raw -s -c -t 1000 CF00000000CF00

Example: disable direct writes to block 0, default pwd

hf 14a raw -s -c -t 1000 CF00000000CF01

Change backdoor password

^Top ^^Gen4

All backdoor operations are protected by a password. If password is forgotten, it can't be recovered. Default password is 00000000.

WARNING: new UMC (06A0) returns 6300 when issuing password change command. Please write the password using F0 and entering the full configuration, but with the new password.

Change password:

hf 14a raw -s -c -t 1000 CF <passwd> FE <4b new_password>

Example: change password from 00000000 to AABBCCDD

hf 14a raw -s -c -t 1000 CF00000000FEAABBCCDD

Example: change password from AABBCCDD back to 00000000

hf 14a raw -s -c -t 1000 CF<passwd>F0<30b configuration data>

cf Dump configuration for configuration data description.

Example: Write factory configuration, using default password

hf 14a raw -s -c -t 1000 CF00000000F000000000000002000978009102DABC191010111213141516040008004F6B

⚠ Variant with command F1 instead of F0 will set and fuse permanently the configuration. Backdoor R/W will still work.

Version and Signature

^Top ^^Gen4

Don't forget configure maximum read/write blocks. It's can be adjusted directly in config (see Dump configuration) or by command 6B:

hf 14a raw -s -c -t 1000 CF000000006BFB

Note: 0xFB = 251

Ultralight EV1 and NTAG Version info and Signature are stored respectively in blocks 250-251 and 242-249.

NSCK-II

^Top

  • Magic tag for "NSC/BS-CPU"

Characteristics

^Top

  • Programming is done via ISO14443-A (but not sure how to modulate). Original tag is working somewhere hidden from proxmark.
  • ATQA-SAK: 0044-20
  • ATS: 05 72 F7 60 02
  • Communications encrypted(?)
    • When writing with copykey, after RATS, this communication takes place (NSC ID programmed: 5800000000, tag UID: 1D94CE25840000):

      >>> 54 03 8A BC DF C1 [CRC]
      <<< A2 [CRC]
      >>> 54 04 57 AA 84 DD [CRC]
      <<< A2 [CRC]
      

Magic commands

^Top

  • Write NSC UID: 54 [part 1b] [data 4b enc] [CRC]
    • Tag replies: A2 [CRC]
