If you're interested in reverse engineering RFID payment systems in public transfer, I can recommend you this talk from 27c3: <a href="https://events.ccc.de/congress/2010/Fahrplan/events/4036.en.html" rel="nofollow">https://events.ccc.de/congress/2010/Fahrplan/events/4036.en....</a> Video: <a href="http://mirror.fem-net.de/CCC/27C3/mp4-h264-HQ/27c3-4036-en-reverse_engineering_a_real_word_rfid_payment_system.mp4" rel="nofollow">http://mirror.fem-net.de/CCC/27C3/mp4-h264-HQ/27c3-4036-en-r...</a>

Awesome app. I've been looking for some small nfc hacking projects, and might look at getting this working properly with Oyster or something (provided I can get my hands on an updated DESfire one rather than my existing Mifare Classic).

This is great! I was wondering if you could read data from RFID chips using the NFC since the protocols are nearly identical. I wonder if you could create an app that just indiscriminately reads data raw from the NFC chip?

Tried with my transit card from SL (Stockholm Public Transport). Got "Unsupported card type: Mifare4k". I'm going to look into it more tonight.

Very cool - tried it with my MBTA Charlie Card and it returns "Unsupported card type: Mifare1K". Are we Bostonians out of luck?

This is a serious security problem for San Francisco public transit... "in addition to being able to read cards, also have the capability to emulate a card". I had considered duplicating a card, since it's a tag based system. So two or more people could share things like a month Caltrain pass, or two people riding together on the bus could both tag and only pay once. Using this program would be certainly easier, than what I was thinking.
