Dangerous Things Magic Ring is now a thing!

The ring can be bricked (gen2).

What does that mean?
As I remember, the Gen1a has some advantages but don´t remember exactly what is was unfortunately.
Does the ring has a changeable ID?

[Zwack]

Yes the UID is changeable.

Gen 1 uses a special instruction set to allow you to modify the normally unwritable sections. It can be detected by trying one of those commands.

Gen 2 is just writable everywhere using normal commands so it can’t be detected. It can however have invalid settings written to it.

The sizes on the site are us sizes?

@magic

us sizes?

Yes

[Zwack]

And the rings are fairly wide (about 26 point, a little over 2 pica, 9 mm, ⅜ inches) so you will want to take that into account.

@zwack kindly summarised it in a nutshell, here is a little more in depth look, the same one I linked for you above

"magic" Mifare chips

The Mifare “classic” S50 1k chip? For many years the Mifare MF1ICS50 1k chip was used for all kinds of applications as a “secure chip” for everything from access control to stored value cards, and used for making localized payments within closed systems like public transit and laundry services. However, it uses a security mechanism called “crypto1” which is a simple, proprietary encryption mechanism that hardly has anything to do with modern cryptography. It has been broken for many years now, …

Gen 1 uses a special instruction set to allow you to modify the normally unwritable sections.

Importantly, the “backdoor command” as it’s called allows you to write to any memory block, regardless of access bit settings or keys.

thought this might be a good place for this

How to use the ring sizing guide

[Drypster]

Just bumping this thread back to life for a second.
Has anyone in the EU bought one of the rings? and can they give me a rough estimate, of how much they paid with fees, VAT and so on? I’m intrested in one of the rings and the price for the ring itself is reasonable, but I don’t like not roughly knowing how much it’ll be in total.

I still have an xm1 that I bought from Ksec labs over a year ago. I will get that installed but I’m in Denmark and it turned out it’s illegal for piercers to make such an installation here. The nearest install partner that can do it legally is Digiwell in Germany. That’s almost a 300 km. drive, so that’ll have to wait until next year.

@Drypster Come over the bridge to Sweden, and we will put the chip in for you. I can see how puting a xM1 can be that hard to do in Denmark though, because I know BodMod people have done silicone Implants and other things there…

Hey Amal, sorry to necro, but I see that in the magic ring descriptions for both of the “Add-Ons” is copy-pasted text from the NExT page. Might want to edit those to avoid confusion…

My precious…

@Pilgrimsmaster, can you link this to the Amal Photoshop thread? That way it’ll maybe bump the thread and might lead to more “replies”
