iCS Decoder for iCopy-X

This iCopy-X decoder accessory allows for iCS decoding and cloning. Until now, cloning of SE and SEO-S has been impossible. However most systems still have legacy card acceptance enabled in their configuration. This device combination can decode SE and SEO-S cards, and then generate an new card with legacy encoding.

For pentesters, this exposes an entirely new in-scope attack surface. Likewise, LEA can use the device to make rapid clones in the field of a previously impossible badge type.

Note:

• The decoder will only work for target systems that are configured to accept legacy cards. This is the default configuration.
• This technique will not work on all iCLASS SE® readers. Coverage is approximate 85%.
• The decoder is an accessory – it requires an iCopy-X.

Setup is quick and simple

1. Plug the decoder into the iCopy-X using the provided USB-C Cable. The device will be automatically recognized. If it is not recognized after 5 seconds, unplug and replug the device.
2. Place the target card on the decoder.
3. The iCopy-X will decode the card, and display the CSN, Facility Code and Card Number.
4. Disconnect the iCS Decoder.
5. The iCopy-X will prompt for a compatible tag (“iCS”)
6. Place the blank card on the iCopy-X, and proceed with the write.
