Akademie — chameleon mini

This week's pentestip demonstrates using the ChameleonMini to perform a standalone clone of a Mifare 1K tag. The ChameleonMini, and the ChameleonTiny are high-frequency RFID emulation devices - capable of emulating multiple chipsets, including Mifare 1K / 4K tags (with 4 & 7 byte UIDs), Ultralight & NTAG. Beyond their emulation functionality, they can also perform MF32Key sniffing and cracking, which allows them to perform standalone cloning in certain circumstances. In this video, we show you how to perform a standalone Mifare 1K clone with the Chameleon Mini. Check back every Friday for a new video. If you've got a...

The firmware for the Chameleon Mini Rev E Rebooted is open source. However, compiling the latest binaries is somewhat complicated, and requires access to an ARM compiler. 

There have been several improvements recently in the firmware, so Lab401 has compiled the latest commits into a downloadable firmware bundle.

Flashing the Chameleon Mini on a Windows machine (or emulated environment) is simple - read on for a step by step guide.

Project Walrus is an an open-source Android-based tool that aims to provide a unified interface over multiple RFID devices.

Designed as a pentesting / red-teaming accessory, it also provides a centralised system for bulk-reading cards, card management, reading, writing and emulation.
