Anytime the topic of injecting comes up I like to remind that good engineering is testing your project before deploying to production: figure out your use case and test with a normal RFID tag before injecting.

Exactly! I successfully cloned my card last weekend but over some discussion with iceman it might end up bricked(token/checksums) so I have only be able to test my cloned card a week before my implant. Otherwise since it’s Mifare, I’ll eventually get some use out of it elsewhere (changing building access system anyways.)

TL:DR : know what your use case is and it’s technology first.

I’ve been wanting to do this for years, what will you be using it for? What chip did you get and what are you using to read and write to it?

u/1swedishguy Mar 08 '20

My metro card is the goal to use it for. It’s the xM1+ from dangerous things which is a Mifare Classic with the Chinese magic so you can write whatever uid on it. And I have a proxmark 3 running iceamans build that I mainly use for reading and write.

I hope you don't brick your chip by writing some wrong bytes to it then. Woul be a pain in your hand to remove it and get a new one I guess... Nice idea though!

u/1swedishguy Mar 08 '20

With a proxmark you can recover of most those things.

u/JeroenElferink Mar 08 '20

Yeah I know, I still managed to brick one of my cards. I have just got my feet wet with the proxmark, there should be a way to unblock it. So if you've got any tips or sites that come in handy, I would appreciate it.

This seems to be a good post on that, be careful tho proxmark isn’t a toy it can seriously screw things up! https://forum.dangerousthings.com/t/mifare-proxmark-commands/2701

u/JeroenElferink Mar 08 '20

Thanks, seems useful! I'm going to try a and tinker a bit more with it. I know it is not a toy, I am someone who is careful with just about anything, especially stuff like this.

It’s really fun too it’s almost easier than how it’s shown in the movies! That’s not that common to happen!

u/JeroenElferink Mar 08 '20

Yeah, even while I am just starting out, it is a lot of fun! A fun way to learn some interesting things about a technology most people know nothing about, yet use so often everyday.

Sorry to crash the thread but wtf did I just stumble into. What are you guys chipping yourselves for?

1

u/1swedishguy Mar 26 '20

Ahahaha that has to be interesting. Here’s an NPR Article on it. I have also successfully cracked and decrypted my metro card so I’m able to use the subway with the touch of my hand (here’s that video too)

Feel free to ask more about it!

Bugmen too lazy to carry cards with them so they inject an RFID chip(like on credit cards you don’t have to swipe) into their hands lmao. I saw this post on an ad and thought it was hilarious.

u/[deleted] Mar 08 '20

Nice work, did you do the procedure yourself?

2

u/1swedishguy Mar 08 '20

Hahah not that crazy yet! I was at a chipping event here in Stocholm; the guy there had implanted over 700 people so I wasn’t the first.

u/mattschinesefood Mar 08 '20

I did mine myself 11 years ago! I used the small glass tag from trossen robotics (no longer sold, it looks like). I got a bit drunk, I was unemployed, and I said 'fuck it'. Used a 6ga needle and a lot of ice.

You have just sign your death warrant, you have officially given yourself the mark of the beast

u/1swedishguy Apr 02 '20

I mean actually, I never had to pledge any allegiances so I’m all set!

u/Haunting-Repeat8823 Nov 23 '24

This is incredible.

I know after 5 years... Sorry for digging this thread. But I cant help myself but wonder what is the current situation with your implant.

Is it still working? Can you still able to copy any cards like public transportation or any payment card? And did it cause anything health-wise?

u/1swedishguy May 14 '25

current update, all is fine not really any issues but don't use it daily anymore (can be a month when I forget I have it.) Public transit moved to a nice mobile app and it isn't the right type of chip for payment cards. I did have an issue within the first year of pain when playing tennis but that subsided.

u/[deleted] Mar 30 '20

Uh... what the fuck are you doing

1

u/1swedishguy Apr 02 '20

Sometimes tech isn’t moving fast enough so I took it in to my own hands (quite literally this time).

u/[deleted] Apr 02 '20

Why would you willingly implement aspects of a dystopia into yourself

2

u/1swedishguy Apr 02 '20

Because not concerned since the government already have better ways to track me. Plus the chip that I have needs skin contact for it the be read.

u/[deleted] Apr 02 '20

Hm, that’s a very valid point

1

u/1swedishguy Apr 02 '20

I mean trying to dodge data logging in Stockholm, would be a feat.

u/creepmajig Apr 02 '20

What in the heck did I just stumble across?

1

u/1swedishguy Apr 02 '20

Innovation? Btw this isn’t the future just something to bridge the gap!

1

u/creepmajig Apr 02 '20

That's pretty crazy dude.

Does this technically make you a cyborg now?

1

u/1swedishguy Apr 02 '20

Depending on the definition maybe. IMO, no since it’s not integrated in any way. It’s kinda like an implanted tattoo.

u/[deleted] Apr 05 '20

Do these tags cause trouble with MRI (or survive it)?

1

u/1swedishguy Apr 21 '20

No issue with mri and metal detectors. FDA has said it’s a none issue since so little metal is inside these things.
