Chameleon-Mini
==============
This is the official repository of ChameleonMini, a freely programmable, portable tool for NFC security analysis that can emulate and clone contactless cards, read RFID tags and sniff/log RF data. Thanks to over 1700 backers from our [Kickstarter project](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1980078555/chameleonmini-a-versatile-nfc-card-emulator-and-mo), the current Revision G has been realized by Kasper & Oswald GmbH.
The ChameleonMini RevG is now also available via the Kasper & Oswald [Webshop](https://shop.kasper.it/). Thank you for supporting the project!
IMPORTANT: Third-party Clones
------------------
We are aware of various third-party ChameleonMini clones or modified variants that are available on the Internet. Warning: We have evidence that some of these devices are defective or suffer from reading problems et cetera. Please understand that we cannot give support for these non-official devices, as we have no schematics / layout or other information, nor do we know the manufacturers. In case of problems, please contact the manufacturers of your device directly.
Note to the manufacturers: Some of the third-party ChameleonMini are violating the ChameleonMini license, please obey the license (see LICENSE.txt)!
First Steps
-----------
To upgrade the firmware of your ChameleonMini, please visit the [Getting Started page](https://cdn.statically.io/gh/emsec/ChameleonMini/master/Doc/Doxygen/html/Page_GettingStarted.html) from the [doxygen documentation](https://cdn.statically.io/gh/emsec/ChameleonMini/master/Doc/Doxygen/html/index.html).
Supported Cards and Codecs
--------------------------
See [here](https://github.com/emsec/ChameleonMini/wiki/Supported-Cards-and--Codecs). The linked wiki page also includes notes on DESFire emulation and certain cases of application specific emulation (Gallagher).
Questions
---------
If you have any questions, please visit the [Issues page](https://github.com/emsec/ChameleonMini/issues) and ask your questions there so everyone benefits from the answer.
**Please note that we cannot give any support if you have issues with the RevE-rebooted hardware or any GUI. Please use this issues page only for problems with the RevG hardware as distributed by Kasper & Oswald and for problems with the firmware from this page.**
