Atalaya vs MIFARE Classic Tool
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Atalaya
An open-source mobile cell tower monitor that provides detailed information about the antenna your device is connected to, such as its identifiers, radio technology type, bands in use, and signal quality with its most representative values. It can interpret GSM, CDMA, WCDMA, TD-SCDMA, LTE, LTE+, 5G NSA, and 5G SA technologies.
MIFARE Classic Tool
This is a low-level tool for reading, writing and analyzing MIFARE Classic RFID tags. It is designed for users who have at least basic familiarity with the MIFARE Classic technology. It provides several features to interact with (and only with) MIFARE Classic RFID-Tags. Read MIFARE Classic tags Save, edit and share the tag data you read Write to MIFARE Classic tags (block-wise) Clone MIFARE Classic tags (Write dump of a tag to another tag; write 'dump-wise') Key management based on dictionary-attack (Write the keys you know in a file (dictionary). MCT will try to authenticate with these keys against all sectorsand read as much as possible.) Format a tag back to the factory/delivery state Write the manufacturer block of special MIFARE Classic tags Use external NFC readers like ACR 122U Create, edit, save and share key files (dictionaries) Decode & Encode MIFARE Classic Value Blocks Decode & Encode MIFARE Classic Access Conditions Display generic tag information Display the tag data as highlighted hex Display the tag data as 7-Bit US-ASCII Display the MIFARE Classic Access Conditions as a table Display MIFARE Classic Value Blocks as integer Calcualate the BCC Quick UID clone feature Import/export/convert files In-App (offline) help and information It's open source ;) More information can be found at the README. It should work on most NFC-enabled devices but there are exceptions. Have a look at the list of devices which are known to be incompatible to MIFARE Classic.
