[solved] Cloning an unknown tag

I recently got a Proxmark3 and I managed to clone an EM410x onto a T5577 badge, so I probably have the basics down. I want to clone another tag, though, and I can't make it work:

proxmark3> lf search u      
NOTE: some demods output possible binary
  if it finds something that looks like a tag          
False Positives ARE possible

if it does not look right it could instead be ASK/Biphase - try 'data rawdemod ab'          

That's obviously periodic, so I trimmed it down to:

0101010101010101
0101010101010101
0101010111111111
0000000110111100

0000001100110011
1110000011111100
0011110101010101

, that is:

55555555
55FF01BC
30000333
E0FC3D55

Looking in this section, I found a similar post, http://www.proxmark.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=5806, where the tag may or may not be a t5 tag. The solution there was to simply write those bytes onto the new tag. I don't know if it makes sense, but I tried to do the same thing, and I simply couldn't write the data:

proxmark3> lf t5 wipe

Beginning Wipe of a T55xx tag (assuming the tag is not password protected)

This is the same badge I used before, so I know I can write it with lf em 410xwrite, then read or write the data with lf t5. Yet I can't seem to program it:

proxmark3> lf search u      
NOTE: some demods output possible binary
  if it finds something that looks like a tag          
False Positives ARE possible
          

Checking for known tags:
          
#: DEBUG: Error - hitag failed          

No Data Found! - maybe not an LF tag?

And the tag stops working until I wipe it. Am I doing something wrong? Should I be able to write to the tag, and is it possible to clone my original one?

Re: [solved] Cloning an unknown tag

A few things to consider.

I have assumed you blank is a T55x7 as per your detect.

Given that block 0 of page 0 is the config block - Not a data block then the following command would have resulted in an invalid config block.
lf t5 write b 0 d 55555555

So first up make sure you can get back to a known clean card with the lf t55xx wipe followed by a lf t55xx detect.

Once back to a clean card, then move on.

From your post : ASK/Manchester - Clock: 64 - Decoded bitstream:
So ASK/Manchester rf/64 clock, so we need to configure the blank card to that.
and you have 4 blocks of data (so max block is 4 )
55555555
55FF01BC
30000333
E0FC3D55

You should be able to work this out from the data sheet, but to get you going.
T55x7 config block 0

0000    - No Master Key 
0000000 - Not used basic mode
101     - RF/64
0       - Basic Mode
01000   - ASK/Manchester
00      - RF/2
0       - No AOR
0       - No OTP
100     - Max Block 4
0       - Dont use password
0       - No ST
00      - not used in Basic Mode
0       - No Initial Delay

Binary : 00000000000101001000000010000000
Hex    : 00148080

So now
Config block 0 could be
00148080

then block 1-4 as per your data
55555555
55FF01BC
30000333
E0FC3D55

Re: [solved] Cloning an unknown tag

testing to write the data suggests a nedap tag.  However its not correct.
The demodulation here must been a bit wrong.

Is there any printed numbers?

save a trace and share it here.

lf read
data save lf_unk_nedap.pm3

Re: [solved] Cloning an unknown tag

Thank you, mwalker, it worked like a charm -- if only I had tried to read the datasheet. I didn't realize that block 0 was the config block.

@iceman, I uploaded a trace here:
https://send.firefox.com/download/6cc72 … OESm3zPGKg. No printed numbers, unfortunately.

Re: [solved] Cloning an unknown tag

You can edit your first post and add the prefix [solved],  I will move this thread to  LF 125 section since your tag is a Nedap.
