Nfc-frog
Kick-ass contactless credit card reader
With nfc-frog you can extract data from many contactless EMV credit cards. Also it supports mulitiple reading modes, so you can choose mode which suits you best.
Tested with: Visa, MasterCard, MIR (other cards should work too).
Installation
git clone https://github.com/cuamckuu/nfc-frog.git
cd nfc-frog
make
sudo ./nfc-frog
Project requires libnfc(>= 1.7.1) and Pn532 as NFC reader
Usage
Nfc-frog supports multiple modes for reading card data.
GET PROCESSING DATA mode
This mode will call EMV command GET PROCESSING DATA and then it will read only files and record from command response.
In other words, it will ‘emulate’ POS terminal reading.
sudo ./nfc-frog GPO
Bruteforce mode (‘fast’ and ‘full’)
Brutforce mode doesn’t call GET PROCESSING OPTIONS to find files, it tries to use READ RECORD on many card files instead.
Both modes will iterate from SFI 1 to SFI 31 and for each existing file:
- Fast mode will read info from record 1 to record 16.
- Full mode will read info from record 1 to record 255.
sudo ./nfc-frog fast # Fast brute mode
sudo ./nfc-frog full # Full brute mode
Disable logging
To get card data only, you should disable stderr output.
For example:
# This way
sudo ./nfc-frog fast 2>&-
# Or this way
sudo ./nfc-frog fast 2>/dev/null
Parsing results
You can parse card data after reading by using one of many online EMV decoders. I personally prefer this one
Example with data from my MIR card:
Why nfc-frog?
There are bunch of readers for NFC credit cards, but most of them just don’t work or lacks some functionality. If there is no such problems, probably it’s an android lib/app.
The main idea of nfc-frog was to get working tool with better availability for everyone.
- Should work with still any EMV cards by calling SELECT command for finding card’s applications;
- Works with raw data, without trying to parse EMV ‘on fly’, so there are no EMV-related errors;
- Full bruteforce mode won’t skip any card files, even hidden from GET PROCESSING OPTIONS;
- You can use this tool with cheap pn532 ( about 5$ ), even if you don’t have phone with NFC reader ( which price starts from 80$ ).
