EM4x50 writing

Hi,

Doing a lf search of a tag showed that it was a EM4x50 tag:

----------------
Found data at sample: 6535 - using clock: 40
Block 0: cbe154d3
Block 1: xxxxxxxx
Block 2: xxxxxxxx
Block 3: xxxxxxxx
Block 4: xxxxxxxx
Block 5: xxxxxxxx
Parities Passed

Valid EM4x50 ID Found!
----------------

I tried to clone this tag to a new tag with t55x7 commands but it doesn't seem to work.  I have used t55x7 commands before to write some tags (eg pyramid) successfully.

I tried with both the latest 2.5 software and also an older r816 version.

I am not sure what could be wrong? Is the block 0 data correct?

lf t55xx writeblock xxxxxxxx 5
lf t55xx writeblock xxxxxxxx 4
lf t55xx writeblock xxxxxxxx 3
lf t55xx writeblock xxxxxxxx 2
lf t55xx writeblock xxxxxxxx 1
lf t55xx writeblock cbe154d3 0


lf t55xx wr b 0 d cbe154d3
lf t55xx wr b 1 d xxxxxxxx
lf t55xx wr b 2 d xxxxxxxx
lf t55xx wr b 3 d xxxxxxxx
lf t55xx wr b 4 d xxxxxxxx
lf t55xx wr b 5 d xxxxxxxx

t55xx chips cannot emulate the EM4x50 chips.

Thanks! I did not think of this.  For em4x50 I can see that there is a read command but no write command.

But given we know the block data, can we write the blocks on a different chip in a similar way to writing t55xx chips? 

Can Q5 chips emulate EM4x50 chips? Are there commands to write block data to Q5 chips?

Are there any chips that the Proxmark can write to that can emulate the EM4x50 chips?

Re: EM4x50 writing

the proxmark itself might be able to emulate the tags, but to my knowledge there is not a chip currently supported by the pm3 firmware that can emulate those chips...

Thanks again marshmellow for all your help.  When Googling I have found other devices that mention they can read & write em4x50 cards.  But when looking at em4x50 cards (eg. http://microcontrollershop.com/product_info.php?products_id=6072 ) it seems that they have a unique, read-only serial number and that I could only write to user data area. Is this correct?

You mention that there is no chip supported by the pm3 firmware that can emulate the em4x50 chips. Is there a chip that I should be looking at that may be supported by a different device?

Re: EM4x50 writing

maybe a sim command could be built?

So by this do you mean that there is no chip or magic card etc that can edit the block 0 / serial number (regardless of whether or not this is supported by pm3)?

Re: EM4x50 writing

got the same problem with a car park / garage company card for entrance.
did you find any solution until now?

they use skidata cards - model keycard125 here.
sounds like the same problem in this thread: http://www.proxmark.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=2020

mine states with lf search following result

tried like you, earlier before I read this, to clone it on a t5577 without success.
guess as lf t5 read b 0 (or what block so ever) does not show any data when I read the skidata card, and only when Iread a t5577 chip, it wont work to clone it to this type hof tag to a t5577, cause their reader wont accept it?

I just tried your block based write, did you set the password for block 0? a confirm with read did not show the data until i wrote it with p 0x0000000



btw: what is lf t5 special showing here?

Re: EM4x50 writing

I was looking for some documents regarding writing


http://pub.ucpros.com/download/28440-RFID-Read-Write-Documentation-v1.0.pdf
there is also a link to a sample app for writing together with this reader/writer: https://www.parallax.com/product/28440
here the sample app: http://playground.arduino.cc/Learning/ParallaxRFIDreadwritemodule
it shows how to read em4x50 and when you scroll on a little it talks about writing too.

and as this is not good enough maybe, I found this sample code on their site which is coming in C and covers passwords too, with em4x50 reading and writing: https://www.parallax.com/downloads/rfid-readwrite-module-arduino-code-example


too bad that I am not that good in programming, but maybe someone else is and can provide the code, so iceman doesnt have to do all the work smile


ps: here are cards available too: http://microcontrollershop.com/product_info.php?products_id=6072
but UID seems not to be changeable from what I can read there. aliexpress doesnt offer anything when I search for em4x50

Re: EM4x50 writing

there is a PR for PM3 Master https://github.com/Proxmark/proxmark3/pull/171 which deals with EM4x50

I know that my tick-timers changes might have screwed up the em4x50 part.  Think I fixed it one week ago.
But it still needs checking.  Would you mind doing some tests again?

Re: EM4x50 writing

We would also need a "em4x50 info" command.  Which gives more details to the current configuration of the tag read.

Re: EM4x50 writing

Reading was always fine in the last builds of yours
I rebuilt today with your last one.
Wanted to see if i get other stuff with data commands but seems to be all legit. Was just wondering as all the digits printed on the card seem not to be part of the data read from the card.

So I can read the blocks.. But what then?
Cant emulate it nor write it somewhere.
So i did a search for how others write stuff

i thought an emu or writer could be possible maybe

Re: EM4x50 writing

If EM4x50 only have five datablocks then you should be able to make a clone onto a t55x7.

Look in the current cmdlfem4x.c code.

lf sim should work..

Re: EM4x50 writing

Would you do it as described in my previous posts?
Cause both of us, thread starter and me, have the same issue that lf search after writinz doesnt recognize the token, aswell as the normal reader does not accept the card.

I'm gonna post maybe tomorrow my findings when I can test it infront of the real reader.


*edit*

Ah ok.. Maybe lf sim did not work due to it only works with the main build.
Gonna test that tomorrow too

Re: EM4x50 writing

t55x7 cannot be used to clone the tag as they output in a different sequence protocol

Re: EM4x50 writing

I stand corrected. Good to have you back, @marshmellow.

Question is there some equvialent to T55x7 that can output EM4x50 ?

Re: EM4x50 writing

unfortunately there are some custom versions that output with non-standard bit rates that can be very hard to source.  (they aren't as flexible or customizable as the t55x7s)
