Identifying broken ISO14443A magic

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 a 1 b 2 2 2 r 2
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 a 1 b 2 2 1 3 2 r 2
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 a 0 b 0 2 0 3 0 r 0

[+] Magic capabilities : Gen 3 / APDU

Magic commands

Android compatible

• issue special APDUs

cla  ins p1  p2  len
 90  F0  CC  CC  10 <block0>  - write block 0
 90  FB  CC  CC  07 <uid>     - change uid (independently of block0 data)
 90  FD  11  11  00           - lock permanently

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.

Characteristics

• UID: 4b and 7b versions
• ATQA/SAK: fixed
• BCC: auto
• ATS: none

Proxmark3 commands

# change just UID:
hf mf gen3uid
# write block0:
hf mf gen3blk
# lock (uid/block0?) forever:
hf mf gen3freeze

See also

script run hf_mf_gen3_writer -h

Equivalent:

# change just UID:
hf 14a raw -s -c  -t 2000  90FBCCCC07 11223344556677
# write block0:
hf 14a raw -s -c  -t 2000  90F0CCCC10 041219c3219316984200e32000000000
# lock (uid/block0?) forever:

MIFARE Classic Super

It behaves like DirectWrite but records reader auth attempts.

To change UID: same commands as for MFC DirectWrite

To do reader-only attack: at least two versions exist.

• type 1: https://github.com/nfc-tools/nfc-supercard for card with ATS: 0978009102DABC1910F005
• type 2: https://github.com/netscylla/super-card/blob/master/libnfc-1.7.1/utils/nfc-super.c for ??
