Why does this shit have to be so complicated?Figured it'd be a fun side project to copy the cards I use for public transport/door access so I don't have to carry so much shit around on a daily basis. Both are MiFare Classic 1ks. Wondered why all the NFC reader applications I tried on my phone didn't read the actual data, only to find that you actually need specialised hardware (eg. proxmark) kits that go for upwards of €500. Fuck that.Should I give up at this point or are there other/cheaper options? Feels retarded to dump so much on a stupid one-off side project...
>>107560976You're retarded for not understanding how the cards actually work. MiFare Classic has key protected sectors. You need to crack the keys to copy them. Some applications just use the card's serial number instead (which is insecure). You can buy cards with programmable serial numbers.
