*** This is the Python 3 version of RFIDIOt. ***

Run everything with python3. The original Python 2.7 code is preserved on the 'python2.7' branch and tagged 'v1.0-python2.7' - it will not run under python3, and this version will not run under python2.

With huge thanks to Pete Shipley (evilpete), who did the bulk of the Python 3 port and contributed a great deal to the python3 branch that became this release.

q: What is RFIDIOt? a: A collection of tools and libraries for exploring RFID/NFC technology, written in python.

q: Why RFIDIOt? a: I like silly puns. Also, I'm coming at this from an idiot's point of view: I know nothing about RFID tags, and even less about python. As such, I felt a complete idiot when I started. :)

q: How can I contribute? a: Send me patches, info, new tools, coffee, money, drugs and/or a Miles Davis song :)

q: What hardware is supported? a:

libnfc readers (PN53x based: ACR122U, SCL3711, etc.) - use '-R READER_LIBNFC' or '-f ', and see '-N' to list them. libnfc must be installed separately.
PC/SC readers via pyscard + pcscd ('-R READER_PCSC', auto-detects the subtype: ACS / OMNIKEY / SCM). This is the default. Both T=0 and T=1 cards are handled. Note: the OMNIKEY CardMan 5321's contact slot works with the open libccid driver, but its contactless (13.56 MHz) interface needs HID's proprietary OMNIKEY driver (ifdokccid) - libccid only exposes the contact slot. With the HID driver installed the contactless interface appears as a second PC/SC slot, i.e. reader index 1 ('-r 1').
the original ACG and Frosch serial readers ('-R READER_ACG' / '-R READER_FROSCH', serial port via '-l', e.g. /dev/ttyUSB0). See docs/readers.md for per-model launch commands (SCL3711, ACR122U / Touchatag, ACR122U-WB-R via '-f ccid', OMNIKEY 5321, Chameleon Ultra, ...). Run any tool with '-h' for the full list of options.

q: How do I install it? a: pip install -r requirements.txt # pycryptodome, pyscard, Pillow, ... (passiveauth uses openssl CLI) sudo python3 ./setup.py install System packages: install libnfc for libnfc readers; for PC/SC readers install the daemon and CCID driver and make sure the daemon is running, e.g. on Debian/ Ubuntu: sudo apt install pcscd libccid pcsc-tools Some tools have extra needs: mrpkey.py uses PIL/Pillow to display passport photos and openssl for certificate handling; jcoptool.py needs pyasn1.

q: Anything new in the Python 3 version? a: Besides the port itself:

ChAP.py ("Chip And PIN") is a contactless/contact EMV reader that works over both PC/SC and libnfc (pick the reader with the standard options - e.g. '-f 0' for libnfc, '-r 1' for a PC/SC contactless slot). It walks the card (PPSE -> AID -> GPO -> records), decodes the EMV BER-TLV (AIP, AFL, CVM list, CDOL/DDOL, Track 2 split into PAN / expiry / service code, cryptogram information, etc.) and reads the card's transaction log (amount / date / time / currency / ATC per entry). With '-c' it performs full offline data authentication - it recovers the CA -> Issuer -> ICC certificate chain (a bundled table of 26 scheme CA keys: Visa, Mastercard, Amex, CB, JCB, Discover, UnionPay, RuPay, each checked against its EMVCo CAPK checksum) and then verifies the card's signature by whichever method the card supports:

SDA - Signed Static Application Data (tag 93)
DDA - INTERNAL AUTHENTICATE with a random challenge (contact)
fDDA - the fast-DDA signature returned in the GPO (contactless)
CDA - the signature combined with the cryptogram ('-g' sends GENERATE AC; intrusive - it increments the card's ATC) Companion/alias applications (e.g. LINK) verify under the primary scheme's CA. The recovery is self-validating, so a wrong or missing key fails cleanly. Run with no PIN argument to stay read-only; a PIN argument sends an offline VERIFY (plaintext, or RSA-enciphered with '-E'), which updates the PIN Try Counter.

mrpkey.py reads ePassports and passiveauth.py performs Passive Authentication (data-group integrity + DS/CSCA trust) against a public CSCA master list, flagging a passport SAFE / TAMPERED / UNTRUSTED. rfidiot-cli.py also reads contactless EMV.

q: So what exactly is here? a: Please see http://www.rfidiot.org/documentation.html
