MFOC is an open-source C implementation of the offline nested attack for recovering authentication keys from MIFARE Classic NFC cards. It requires at least one known key (default or user-provided) to recover keys from a target card.

Use cases

  • recover keys from a MIFARE Classic card
  • audit NFC card security with a nested attack
  • find default or unknown keys on MIFARE tags
  • test MIFARE Classic authentication offline
  • penetration test RFID access cards

When to choose

  • you need to recover MIFARE Classic keys offline using a known key
  • you work with libnfc-compatible NFC readers on Linux/macOS
  • you are doing security research or penetration testing of RFID systems

When to avoid

  • you target MIFARE DESFire, Ultralight, or other non-Classic card types
  • you need a GUI or automated scanning workflow
  • you have no known key for the target card
