After a long hiatous I have returned ;-;. I have been utilizing he implant for well over a year now for various things, of course the classic rick roll being the top on that list. I have finally been able to get a decent reader and my work is now starting to use NFC for entry and security stuff. I am doing some personal projects to my space at work and for some reason it seems like when I work with both my xSiid blinky or the cards, I simply want them to paste text in whatever field is selected, Pincode, scan, paste, boom entry. I am using NFC tools and I know I’m getting a good read. What have I gotten rusty and missed? I have written as all, text, custom URL, and data but for some reason it still won’t just paste the written data.
those are ndef records you are writing via nfc tools.
if you want to paste that ndef record into the selected text box when scanned, you’ll need a tool that can do that, i don’t know where you got the idea that it should automatically paste that data when scanned, such has never been the function of ndef encoding
i don’t know of any pre existing tooling for the ACR that acts as a HID and pastes ndef record contents but it wouldn’t be too hard to script it.
I see, also after seeing what you said it made me think, the reader I have/is being used won’t act like a HID on my computer, at least not in the way I want it to. My coding skills are not adept enough to tackle this for now. Something I will revisit.
yeah a handful of basic readers print the UID in hex or dec and nothing further.
with an ACR you can use autohotkey to script scans to do what you want but it’s not exactly an off the shelf solution.
Yeah you won’t be able to use a keybaotwedge type hid device to output memory content just uid. The reason is various tag types store data differently and reading the memory pages work differently for different chips.
You can use a software solution that reads the memory and inserts what you want into the keyboard input buffer.
You’d need to mod the software to read memory vs just the UID but it’s possible to do whatever you want and “type it out”
Or you could build some hardware…
I haven’t done much work on this for a while but I ended up with a small reader that would read NFC and type it out as a USB HID.
If you have a specific requirement it is easy to modify. The password I stored as an XOR of the password and the UID so it wasn’t in plain text. But if you just want to output random plain text that can be done. I found a way to program the reader from a key so that the UID triggers a response stored in the reader, but it can be removed from the NFC chip entirely … But I haven’t programmed that yet.
Anyway, if you let me know what you want then I can make the software work. I am assuming that you can get the minor bit of electronics sorted out. (I use a trinket and a reader board).
