Cloning RFID using ChameleonMini

RFID stands for Radio Frequency Identification, which utilizes radio waves to identify items. At a minimum, the RFID system contains a tag, a reader, and an antenna. There are active and passive RFID tags. Active RFID tags contain their own power source, giving them the ability to broadcast with a read range of up to 100 meters. Passive RFID tags do not have their own power source. Instead, they are powered by electromagnetic energy transmitted from the RFID reader.

NFC stands for Near-Field Communication, which is a subset of RFID but with a high frequency. Both NFC and RFID operate at 13.56 MHz. NFC is also designed to run as an NFC reader and NFC tag, which is a unique feature of NFC devices that allows them to communicate with peers. In this section, we will explore one of the devices that comes in handy during physical pen testing/social engineering or a red team exercise to achieve a set objective. For example, if you are signed up to showcase...
