New(?) access control board

I buy stuff from AliExpress all the time just to try them out with my xSIID and magic rings…thought this was interesting so I gave it a go:

Not doing a formal review yet just because I haven’t had time, but it’s definitely interesting. Unlike the xAC and it’s HF clones, this board came with both 13.56mhz and 125khz antennas. The picture only shows the HF antenna attached, but it shipped with a secondary copper-wound antenna in the far left slot. It also accepts external configurable wiegand inputs, and also comes with a remote for programming. In quick testing between calls, I was able to confirm that it registers and works with both frequencies using a T5577, Mifare 1k, and the NTAG chip in my xSIID. I’ve got a dual frequency wiegand reader coming from AliExpress too that should be here any day…I’ll test it with that too.

Again, once I get a chance to do further testing I will, just thought this was neat. I haven’t seen a dual frequency version of the access control board before. I can also say in my brief test that it read my magic ring and xSIID very well through several layers of card stock that I had on hand…my other 13.56-only board won’t pick up my ring and has to have contact and a Hamspiced repeater to pick up my xSIID.

Let me know if this has been covered before. If not, stay tuned. Thanks.

Try some various UIDs changing a byte at a time. I bet you find something in the HF side that makes you go, “WHY?” If you don’t… Well, then we need to look closer at it. : )

I’ve seen the posts that they only check the last 4 bits or so…I’m assuming this will likely be similar.

I’ll try to do my due diligence with my flipper soon and will post the results.

And then there are the old classics: all bits on and off.
