Story

Meet the "HackCard" on Kickstarter - Credit Card size ethical hacking card with NFC, WiFi and BLE connectivity

Most business cards end up in a desk drawer. HackCard becomes your command center. HACKCARD is a credit-card-sized, fully functional penetration testing powerhouse disguised as a professional visiting card. It’s the ultimate "Swiss Army knife" for social engineering, pentesters, and a conversation starter that literally speaks in code.

• Dual-Engine Logic (MCU): Choose your Brain : The hyper-efficient RP2350 for raw processing or the ESP32 for full-spectrum Wi-Fi and Bluetooth dominance.
• NFC: Passive Intelligence: A built-in NFC 13.56 MHz for instant credential sharing or interacting with secure access points without plugging in. One tap does it all: Clone, Dump, Brute, erase & much more.
• **Vault (Storage): **Your Digital Inventory. High-speed onboard SD card to house your payload library, exfiltrated datasets, or a high-definition digital resume.
• WiFi/BLE: Master the Spectrum. Integrated 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth (BLE) to audit networks or bridge the gap between devices wirelessly.
• Universal Link (USB-C Power): Standardized Strength. Powered by a sleek USB-C interface for universal compatibility and lightning-fast data injection.
• Tactile Control (Programmable Buttons): Physical Triggers for Digital Actions. Two low-profile, tactile switches. Map them to launch a script, mute a mic, or trigger an "emergency wipe."
• Audio Signaling Node: The Voice of the Card. An onboard Node allows for infinite customization. Code your own unique "success" melodies or "error" harmonics to give you audible feedback during successful handshakes or status alerts.
• Spectrum Feedback (RGB Indicators): Visual Telemetry. Customizable RGB LEDs, Program specific hues to represent different states. Set it to Pulse Blue when searching for networks, Static Green when a payload is successfully delivered, or Flash Red if an encrypted handshake fails.
• Network status: A dedicated status indicator light to show you exactly what’s happening connectivity strength "under the hood" at a glance.
• Precision Geometry (Dimensions): It fits in your wallet as easily as a credit card, but works a thousand times harder.

HackCard NFC Power

• Read Card: Reads a tag’s UID and basic info — works with MIFARE Classic, NTAG, Ultralight, and DESFire. Great for quick tag scans, but won’t read protected sectors unless you already have keys.
• **Clone Card: **Copies a tag’s UID and emulates it using the PN532. Works with MIFARE Classic, but protected data needs known keys. Useful for backup and compatibility testing — but only use it ethically.
• Erase Card: Wipes writable tags back to blank. Great for reusing test cards. Just be careful — once it’s wiped, it’s permanent. And locked tags need proper keys to be erased.
• Dump Card: Reads every block of a MIFARE Classic tag — keys, access bits, data — and outputs it via Serial or SD card. Slow on large tags and needs valid keys.
• Card Info: Quickly identifies tag type, storage size, lock status, and backdoor presence. Helpful for initial tag profiling.
• Decode Access: Decodes MIFARE Classic access bits to reveal read/write permissions. Requires known keys. Now outputs via Serial for stability.
• Brute Key: Tries common default keys on Classic tags to find access. Slow and limited to simple key sets — good for auditing weak tags.
• Jam Reader: Simulates a misbehaving tag that spams readers with malformed responses. Effective on cheap readers, but legally restricted. Use in lab conditions only.
