FEATURES • Read MIFARE Classic tags • Save and edit the tag data you read • Write to MIFARE Classic tags (block-wise) • Clone MIFARE Classic tags (Write dump of a tag to another tag; write 'dump-wise') • Key management based on dictionary-attack (Write the keys you know in a file (dictionary). MCT will try to authenticate with these keys against all sectors and read as much as possible.) • Format a tag back to the factory/delivery state • Write the manufacturer block of special MIFARE Classic tags • Create, edit and save key files (dictionaries) • Decode & Encode MIFARE Classic Value Blocks • Decode & Encode MIFARE Classic Access Conditions • Compare dumps (Diff Tool) • Display generic tag information • Display the tag data as highlighted hex • Display the tag data as 7-Bit US-ASCII • Display the MIFARE Classic Access Conditions as a table • Display MIFARE Classic Value Blocks as integer • Calcualate the BCC • Quick UID clone feature • Import/export to common file types • In-App (offline) help and information • It's open source (GPLv3) ;)
IMPORTANT NOTES Some important things are: • The features this tool provides are very basic. There are no such fancy things like saving a URL to an RFID-Tag with a nice looking graphical user interface. If you want so save things on a tag, you have to input the raw hexadecimal data. • This App can NOT crack/hack any MIFARE Classic keys. If you want to read/write an RFID-Tag, you need keys for this specific tag first. For additional information please read/see Getting Started from the links section. • There will be no "brute-force" attack capability in this application. It is way too slow due to the protocol. • The first block of the first sector of an original MIFARE Classic tag is read-only i.e. not writable. But there are special MIFARE Classic tags (aka magic tag gen2) that support writing to the manufacturer block with a simple write command. This App is able to write to such tags and can therefore create fully correct clones. However, some special tags require a special command sequence to put them into the state where writing to the manufacturer block is possible. These tags will not work. Remember this when you are shopping for special tags! • This app will NOT work on some devices because their hardware (NFC-controller) does not support MIFARE Classic ( https://github.com/ikarus23/MifareClassicTool/issues/1 ). You can find a list of unsupported devices here: https://github.com/ikarus23/MifareClassicTool#general-information

Has anyone had luck on the Pixel 8 Pro. I'm unable to read a card with known keys.
★★★★★Samuel Anthony· Oct 8, 2024
Great app, Wondering whether this app can prevent nfc card to be read/copied by other tools
★★★★★Mike G· Jan 9, 2025
Seems like a really good tool that I can use. I was trying to read Bambi Labs filament tags, so I can make my own, but it doesn't seem to work. The tag might be encrypted / locked.
★★★★★Zachary Trumpp· Jan 8, 2023
This tool works very well. I have tried many different apps to achieve being able to read and write mifare rfid cards none work except this one. Just make sure you have the right type of magic card to clone onto. Very easy to use and reliable.

I can't able to read a card, but It read an old card but not new one

I installed this and my touch screen stopped working. I suspect something else was installed alongside this. I removed the app, but still the same. I had to reset my phone to get working again. My touch screen is now working perfectly. I would not install this ever again
★☆☆☆☆GalaxyGuy12· Sep 16, 2022
An okay app for reading and writing nfc tags, but supremely annoying to have on a phone. It automatically opens if your phone comes into contact with a tag, which is every few seconds (not exaggerating) if you have a phone wallet full of nfc-tagged cards

The UID Log doesn't have the option to select the length. I personally need 10 chars length, but it only logs 8.
