Not getting AFL for Visa Contactless Application? - nfc

I am not getting AFL in the GPO command for Visa contactless Application
GPO Request as Below:
Request :80 A8 00 00 12 83 10 B6 60 40 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 38 39 30 31 00
Tag 9F 66: Terminal Transaction Qualifiers : B6 60 40 00
Tag 9F 02: Transaction Amount : 00 00 00 01 00 00
Tag 5F 2A: Transaction Currency Code : 03 56
Tag 9F 37: Unpredictable Number : 38 39 30 31

Getting AFL is not mandatory. If you do not get AFL you are not expected to do any READs. You need not do some functions like ODA as you wont have data associated with it. You can proceed with the available data as such.

As per VISA specification (VCPS), AFL is not mandatory.
If it is not returned in GPO the kernel shall skip the READ RECORDS and proceeds to Card Read Complete.

Your Terminal Transaction Qualifier byte 1 bit 1 is set to zero, meaning "Offline Data Authentication for Online Authorizations not supported". Try setting it to 1: B6 60 40 00 --> B7 60 40 00.
I was having the same issue and this was enough to receive an AFL.

I am experimenting now with Visa contactless, Get Processing Options, PDOL, and Read Record commands.
Here is what I found:
Visa Contactless has data accessible via Read Record in either rec 1 or 2, in file 1. You do not need to issue GPO to get this data.
A more complicated case is Visa Contactless inside Google Pay.
Contrary to simple PDOL having 4 elements, this "card" application requests PDOL over 20 elements. I was not able to guess so far the proper values of all of them, to construct proper PDOL and get AFL in GPO APDU Response, and SW=0x90.
The application returns 0 bytes for each Read Record I tried, and so far I cannot find which record file contains application data.

How correct protect NXP NTAG215 for read/write

i've an big trouble with my NTAG215 tags.
I use this PDF below for reffer:
https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/data-sheet/NTAG213_215_216.pdf
COMMANDS
I send these raw commands:
AUTH TAG ( with default password )
nfc.transceive('1B FF FF FF FF')
CHANGE DEFAULT PASSWORD
nfc.transceive('A2 85 AA BB CC DD')
SET PACK
nfc.transceive('A2 86 EE FF 00 00')
PROTECT ADDRESS 04 TO 81
nfc.transceive('A2 83 04 00 00 04')
ENABLE READ/WRITE PROTECTION
nfc.transceive('A2 84 10 00 00 00')
After send these commands, i read my NTAG215, and confirm results, but...i can read all memory blocks without PWD ( 1B command ).
I need protect these memory blocks from read without correct password.
Thanks for all help guys.
Everything looks fine except for the last command.
ENABLE READ/WRITE PROTECTION
nfc.transceive('A2 84 10 00 00 00')
In order to enable the protection the command must be as follows:
nfc.transceive('A2 84 80 00 00 00')
So once a "session" is authenticated it stays authenticated until the session ends.
So if you connect with no/default/existing password, you then have to remove the Tag from the RF field so that the session ends.
The next time the Tag enters RF fields it will need authenticating again with the new password.

Felica Card Error: Area or Service specified by the command cannot be accessed

I am using javax.smartcardio library to access my Felica card. I am able to get the ID of the felica card without any error. When I try to write a block to Felica card, I am getting the following status flag.
0xA5: Area or Service specified by the command cannot be accessed.
Here is the format of the command apdu I am using,
FF 00 00 00 D4 40 01 08 <8 bytes of ID> 01 < number of blocks 01> <16 bytes sof data>
The response I am getting is:
D5 41 00 <8 bytes of ID> 01 A5
The status flag2-A5 is the error specifying 'Area or Service specified by the command cannot be accessed.'
After discussing with the Felica manufacturing team, I found that the card was empty and that's the reason I can't write/read the block.

NFC Enabled SIM APDU Response 6A 82

I am working on NFC enabled SIM, using ISO-7816-4. While I try to SELECT MF, DF or EF, response is always 6A 82( File not found). Following are the APDUs
00 A4 00 00 02 3F 00 -> To SELECT MF
00 A4 00 00 02 2F E2 -> To SELECT EF
00 A4 00 00 02 7F 20 -> To SELECT DF
Response is always the same, i.e., 6A 82. Am I missing something here? Kindly help.
Your P2 is incorrect. However, I'm not sure why the card is returning status 6A 82 (File not found) instead of 6A 86 (Incorrect parameters to P1 to P2).
To select by FID (File Identifier), you need to set the P2 as follow:
P2=04. In case of successful SELECT, you will get status 61XX. Send GET RESPONSE and you will have the FCP Template in the response data.
P2=0C. In case of successful SELECT, no data returned. Only status 9000.
For more details of P1 and P2, refer to ETSI 102.221 section 11.1.1. You can download the file from this ETSI link.
The problem was not with APDUs, but with the value of SAK. SAK value was set to 0x28.
Which means NFC enabled SIM supports both;
CPU level APDUs (the one I was trying to communicate to) and
Mifare 1k sector (the one I should have tried to communicate to in the first place).
However CPU level APDUs had more priority than Mifare sector because of which my NFC reader/writer was unable to communicate to Mifare 1k sector. Once the value of SAK was changed to 0x08, it disabled CPU level APDUs and my NFC reader/writer was able to communicate with the Mifare 1k sector. Hope this helps.

PE 101 explanation of addresses to windows api calls

I am trying to build a program that will give more information about a file and possibly a disassembler. I looked at https://code.google.com/p/corkami/wiki/PE101 to get more information and after reading it a few times I am understanding most of it. the part I don't understand is the call addresses to windows api. for example how did he know that the instruction call [0x402070] was an api call to messagebox? I understand how to count the addresses to the strings and the 2 push commands to strings make sense, but not the dll part.
I guess what I am trying to say is I don't understand the part that says "imports structures"
(the part I drew a box around in yellow) If any one could please explain to me how 0x402068 points to exitProcess and 0x402070 points to MessageBoxA, this would really help me. thanks
Loader (a part of Windows OS) "patches up" the Import Address Table (IAT) before starting the sample program, that's when the real addresses of the library procedures appear in the memory locations 0x402068 and 0x402068. Please note that imports reside in section nobits in simple.asm:
section nobits vstart=IMAGEBASE + 2 * SECTIONALIGN align=FILEALIGN
The section with imports after load starts at virtual address (IMAGEBASE=400000h)+2*(SECTIONALIGN=1000h)=0x402000 .
The yasm source of the example is quite unusual and the diagram is also not the best place to learn PE format from. Please start by reading Wikipedia:Portable_Executable first (a short article). It has links to the full documents, so I will only make some short notes here.
You might also want to use the Cheat Engine to inspect the sample. Launch simple.exe, then attach to the process with Cheat Engine, press Memory View, then menu Tools->Dissect PE headers, then button Info, look at tab Imports. In the memory dump, go to address 00402000 (CTRL+G 00402000 Enter:
00402068: E4 39 BE 75 00 00 00 00 69 5F 47 77 00 00 00 00 6B 65 72 6E 65 6C 33 32 2E
Note the values at these locations
00402068: 0x75BE39E4 (on my computer) = the address of KERNEL32.ExitProcess
00402070: 0x77475F69 (in my case only) = the address of user32.MessageBoxA
Notice the text "kernel32.dll user32.dll" right after them. Now look at the hexdump of simple.exe (I would use Far Manager) and spot the same location before strings "kernel32.dll user32.dll". The values there are
0000000450: 69 74 50 72 6F 63 65 73 │ 73 00 00 00 4D 65 73 73 itProcess Mess
0000000460: 61 67 65 42 6F 78 41 00 │ 4C_20_00_00 00 00 00 00 ageBoxA L
0000000470: 5A_20_00_00 00 00 00 00 │ 6B 65 72 6E 65 6C 33 32 Z kernel32
0000000480: 2E 64 6C 6C 00 75 73 65 │ 72 33 32 2E 64 6C 6C 00 .dll user32.dll
0000000468: 0x0000204C — the Relative Virtual Address of dw 0;db 'ExitProcess', 0
0000000470: 0x0000205A — the Relative Virtual Address of dw 0;db 'MessageBoxA', 0
The loader has changed these values from what they were in the file after loading into memory. The Microsoft document pecoff.doc says about it:
6.4.4. Import Address Table
The structure and content of the Import Address Table are identical to that of the Import Lookup Table, until the file is bound. During binding, the entries in the Import Address Table are overwritten with the 32-bit (or 64-bit for PE32+) addresses of the symbols being imported: these addresses are the actual memory addresses of the symbols themselves (although technically, they are still called “virtual addresses”). The processing of binding is typically performed by the loader.

mifare classic 4k reading to human readable form

i have mifare classic 4k and ACR1281U reader. I can authenticate/read/load succesfully.I have search the sites how to read the NFC tags but I am missing some; here are my questions
how to read and convert the data from MIfare blocks to human readable form
how to change the default auth key.
EDIT
Ok I just found out something strange. I tried to authenticate the random sector trailor block with the
key A
FF FF FF FF FF FF
then i tried to read that trailor block i found this
00 00 00 00 00 00 FF 07 80 69 FF FF FF FF FF FF 90 00
what i am confused is acccording to documentation, in the sector trailer
the key A comes first then access bits and then key b then response status
now what i get is
keyb? | access bits | key A | response status
Note : i tried to authenticated with Key A which is FFFFFFFFFFFF and successfully authenticated.
could anyone explain this to me?
Thanks a lot.
To write a sector you need to authenticate on that sector with keyB. Then you can overwrite the key block as:
new Key A | access bits | Key B
