Supported Cards and Codecs
This page shows which codecs / cards are supported by the Chameleon hardware and software.
| Card | used codec | codec support (hardware) | codec support (software) | application layer support | notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| any non 13.56 MHz tag | NO | NO | NO | ||
| Mifare Ultralight | ISO 14443 A 106 kbit/s | yes | yes | yes | |
| Mifare Ultralight EV1 | ISO 14443 A 106 kbit/s | yes | yes | yes | |
| Mifare Classic 1K/4K 4B/7B | ISO 14443 A 106 kbit/s | yes | yes | yes | |
| Mifare DESFire | ISO 14443 A with higher data rates | low bit rate yes, possibly also higher bit rates | only low bit rate | yes | |
| Mifare DESFire EV1 | ISO 14443 A with higher data rates | low bit rate yes, possibly also higher bit rates | only low bit rate | yes | backward compatible |
| Mifare DESFire EV2 | ISO 14443 A with higher data rates | low bit rate yes, possibly also higher bit rates | only low bit rate | yes | backward compatible |
| Mifare PLUS | ISO 14443 A with higher data rates | low bit rate yes, possibly also higher bit rates | only low bit rate | no | |
| any NTAG | ISO 14443 A 106 kbit/s | yes | yes | no | |
| LEGIC prime | LEGIC prime / ISO 14443 A / ISO 15693 | probably / yes / yes | no / yes / work in progess | no | |
| HID iCLASS | 125 kHz / ISO 15693 / ISO 14443 B | no / yes / yes | no / yes / no | no | |
| ePass | ISO 14443 A / B | yes (possibly also higher data rates) / yes | only low bit rate / no | no | |
| any ISO 15693 | ISO 15693 | yes | yes | yes |
| codec | codec support (hardware) | codec support (software) | application layer support | notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| any non 13.56 MHz codec | NO | NO | NO | |
| ISO 14443 A 106 kbit/s | PCD->PICC direction yes, possibly other direction also | currently only PCD->PICC direction | yes | |
| ISO 14443 A higher datarates | possibly | no | basically the same like for lower data rates | |
| ISO 15693 | yes | VCD->VICC yes, VICC->VCD only single subcarrier | not yet | configurable threshold in work |
| Card | used codec | codec support (hardware) | codec support (software) | application layer support | notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| any non 13.56 MHz tag | NO | NO | NO | ||
| Mifare Ultralight | ISO 14443 A 106 kbit/s | yes | yes | yes | command dump_mfu
|
| Mifare Classic 1K/4K 4B/7B | ISO 14443 A 106 kbit/s | yes | yes | no | no command for reading a MF classic card implemented yet, cryptographic functions already implemented |
| Mifare DESFire | ISO 14443 A with higher data rates | low bit rate yes, possibly also higher bit rates | only low bit rate | no | no command for reading implemented yet, cryptographic functions work on progress |
There is some limited DESFire support. Please see the DESFire-specific readme here. As of 1st of May 2023, the following has been tested:
- UID emulation and change
- Authentication using all available ciphers
- App creation, key creation/change when the app uses AES
- AES encrypted file operations (max file len 32 bytes)
- CMAC calculation and IV updates for most operations (AES only!)
If some functionality is not listed above, it does not mean that it will not work. It just wasn't tested. We focused on AES support first. Other algorithms may be available later. Most of the DESFire code was submitted in a PR (see the Readme). Any EV2/EV3 specific functionality is NOT available.
There's some support for pentesting Gallagher systems that use AES-encrypted cards (and AES only!). Please see the Gallagher-specific Readme here. This is available as of the 1st of May 2023 and may be (re)moved at any time as space on the device is in short supply.
