Magspoof
Magspoof is a hardware card emulator and payment terminal spoofing tool designed to wirelessly transmit emulated magnetic stripe data. It functions as a magnetic stripe emulator that generates electromagnetic fields to mimic the data patterns of physical cards to trigger standard card readers without a physical card.
The project includes a service code modifier capable of altering specific bits within magnetic signals. This allows the system to disable chip-and-pin requirements on payment terminals, forcing a fallback from chip to swipe.
The system supports multi-track data transmission across tracks 1, 2, and 3 and utilizes waveform synthesis to translate digital data into electromagnetic pulses. These capabilities are used for payment terminal testing and access control research regarding hotel key cards and entry systems.
