How to use Chameleon Tiny – Clone Card

What’s Chameleon Tiny?

The ChameleonTiny is an impossibly small version of the Chameleon Mini RevG, designed as a keychain emulator for all your HF tags. Emulating, storing, and manipulating RFID tags is a vital part of any pen-testing assignment. Its pocket small design makes it can be the smallest RFID device in our hand.

Conclusion

This may be the fastest way to clone the IC Card. And what we have to be aware of is that it only clones the card type and UID.

If you wanna clone the data inside the card, you have to learn more about the data structure of RFID knowledge such as sector, page, and application. To get the encrypted data in cards, you need to use PN532, ACR122U, Proxmark3 X, or iCopy-XS to get the data.

Brief of RFID Device

PN532

PN532 supports only 13.56MHz NFC tags and cards. It’s the cheapest device that supports running mfoc – Mifare Classic Offline Cracking tools. It’s based on an 8051 chip which has the lowest calculation.

ACR122U

ACR122U is made by ACS company which is also based on PN532 chip. The most reason to use this reader is its all platform SDK and is better for development.

Proxmark3 X

Proxmark3 X is published by MTools Tec which brings Built-in battery, Bluetooth connection, Type-C socket, and RDV4 firmware to Proxmark3 hardware. The biggest difference between Proxmark3 X and Proxmark3 RDV4.01 is that the Proxmark3 X does not support the 135KHz tag. Click to view all tags that Proxmark3 X supports.

iCopy-XS

iCopy-XS was released by Nikola Lab which is the most portable RFID tag cloner. It has a friendly UI and 2 optimized antennas. It’s designed for one-click to clone most tags. Click to view all tags that iCopy-XS support.
