!!! Deprecated See ESP-RFID-Thief !!! Original PoC(Released: Sep 11, 2016) - This is a port/remix of the Tastic RFID Thief to the Adafruit Feather Huzzah. It adds WiFi capability and on board logging making the build nearly plug and play. A very simple build for beginners.

Overview

The ESP_RFID_ThiefPort/Remix by Corey Harding seamlessly blends the functionality of the original Tastic RFID Thief with the advanced capabilities of the Adafruit Feather HUZZAH, which utilizes the ESP12E chip from the ESP8266 family. With added WiFi capabilities, this device offers a significantly simplified build process, allowing for almost plug-and-play functionality. Without the need for an SD card, thanks to the use of the FS.h File System library, this tool elevates penetration testing by enabling remote access and capture monitoring through any standard browser.

This device plays a crucial role in Red Team operations, allowing one team member to capture RFID tags while others can view the collected data in real time. The inclusion of a battery and charging circuit further enhances its utility, making it an efficient option for secure data handling in field applications. Overall, the ESP_RFID_Thief stands as a testament to the engineering creativity and intention behind modern security tools.
