Im new on biohacking, need some elucidations

You would be lacking the ability to emulate 125kz tags

I would recommend xm1 in addition to a NExT which does ntag216 and a t5577

It’s also worth mentioning, most of the time you can only have 1 UID per chip,

So if you are unable to enroll chips and you have 2 different systems than use mifare classic, you would need 2 seperate chips

I have multiple 125khz chips, because I have multiple different 125khz systems that I do not have admin assistance from

i plan to get high quality stuff if all this research goes well. I want a LED with it but i need to keep these for now because one from the US would be twice as expensive where i live.

If you want to test and experiment with the cheap Chinese tags, go for it… I have a drawer full of random glass tags, stickers, rings etc

But I’m recommending you only implant stuff from dangerous things

It’s your life, I can only give you advice, but I’d hate to see financial impatience cause harm

I’d also hate to see the bio hacker community get a black eye because of shady knock offs causing harm

I didn’t understand this part, you say that if I have a mifare with an ID I can’t use it on two mifare systems?

i thought the system would read the ID and allow the acess the same way the other system would do. unless its from another type of tags right?

Think of it like a metal key

Your metal key can have only 1 “code” on it

If you can change or install locks on doors that will accept the code on your metal key, you can use that key on a lot of doors

But if you can’t change the lock on a door because you don’t own it or have control of it, all you could do is try to make your key match that door

If there are 2 different doors you can’t change the locks on, there is no way to open both with one metal key

This make sense?

In the same sense, the implant can only have one code on it,

The Xm1 can have its code changed to match a door if needed, but it can still only act like 1 code at a time

it makes sense if the code u need to unlock the door is written inside the chip.

my gate seems to only read the id and thats all. so if i have another gate that only read the id i think it would work in both of them.

i simply write a youtube link to open a video in the blue tag and it kept opening the gate, i changed the video to plain text and it also kept opening the gate. I can open the gate and pass the tag on the cell phone to open a video at the same time.

As long as all the systems you need to unlock use the same code or uid, your good to go

In my case

My safe, my workplace, my apt all use different codes

So I needed multiple chips, this is what I wanted you to understand before getting into it

It’s also important to point out. The ntag216 you have, cannot change it’s code or uid… it’s permanent… you can only change the data in it, but it’s uid stays constant

Uid and payload are different
The payload would be the YouTube link you’ve written in ndef

So if you are not capable of having new tags added to the system, those implants will not work

got it. so, thats what i meant with having both ntag216 and a mifare, i think i would be able to interact with most of the systems right? i dont care for low frequencies, only 13MH

about the payloads, i can write different things in each sector or something like that? maybe both my documents number and a link to linkedin or something? or it will always be a single code that can be only readed all at once? then i would need a whole script for sending more than a command to a phone for example?

That gets towards the edge of my experience

You can write more than 1 thing into the ndef

For example, you could have 3 url links and a phone number

When scanned it will spit out all 4 things to a phone at the same time, assuming the reading phone supports all written ndef data
(Some phones limit what it will read)

Mifare is significantly more common for access control but it’s not compatible with all phones.

Give NFC Tools a try, it allows you to write multiple NDEF records to one tag. But keep in mind that Android will only open the first record by default unless this record is in good old plain text.

Interesting, IPhone will hit me with multiple notifications of all accepted ndef… I suppose that’s one better thing for iPhone, making up for the decreased ndef formats

i definitely will, but what about the arduino reader? is it better? whats the diference? i see some advanced functions on NFC tools to write in the memory adress. could i hack into its UID if i really focus in it?

You cannot change the UID on an NTAG216 no matter how hard you try.

The Arduino reader can be used with an Arduino to read a chip. There are several well known Arduino RFID readers, without knowing which model you have we can’t give you specifics.

What about the mifare ones?


this is the reader, idk if i could do something with it that I couldn’t with my phone.

i found out about the nfc tasks, i can make my phone go all brightness and all volume up at the same tap but i cant open a youtube video with it too. Is it possible to make some personalized code that would command the phone to do both at same time?

I would look at tasker

I would have linked the app, but the play store seems to have moved the share button…

gonna look at it thanks

That is an MF-RC522 reader. I am currently using one with an adafruit trinket m0 as the heart of my keyboard wedge

It is not the best Arduino reader but it works for NTAG and Mifare chips.
