mf_nonce_brute

Nested autenticated sector key recovery tool

Compatible tags:

  • Mifare Classic 1k (4k)
  • Mifare Plus in SL1 mode

To recover keys to nested autenticated sectors you need a reader-card communication log. To get it use hardware tools that able to sniff communication (for example Proxmark3 or HydraNFC).

This enhanced version:
First 2 bytes should be bruteforced in phase 2 with mf_key_brute tool that interacts with a card.

Without a next command, it still finds a possible key candidate.

./mf_nonce_brute 9c599b32 82a4166c clear a1e458ce 6eea41e0 0101 5cadf439 1001

This one uses the encrypted tagnonce {nt}=5a920d85, it finds a valid key.

./mf_nonce_brute 9c599b32 5a920d85 1011 98d76b77 d6c6e870 0000 ca7e0b63 0111

This one uses the encrypted tagnonce {nt}=5a920d85 and the encrypted cmd 3e709c8a to validate , it finds a valid key.

./mf_nonce_brute 9c599b32 5a920d85 1011 98d76b77 d6c6e870 0000 ca7e0b63 0111 3e709c8a

[2024-07-11] There is an odd case where we find multiple valid MIFARE Classic protocol commands with a valid ISO14443-A CRC when decrypting four bytes and are bruteforcing the last upper 16 bit of keyspace in phase 3.

The command has been updated to give a more informative text in order to help the user understanding and what to do next.

You need to test all of them manually, start with the one matching the candidate
