Mifare Classic Tool 2.3.1 Here

To read and write to Mifare Classic cards, the phone’s NFC controller must support the specific protocol stack. Many modern phones (particularly those using Broadcom or base NFC controllers mandated by newer Android versions) can detect the card but cannot authenticate or read the memory sectors. They simply see the UID.

For power users, MCT 2.3.1 offers functionality that later versions buried under menus.

You can maintain a keys.dic file. MCT 2.3.1 comes pre-loaded with default keys ( FFFFFFFFFFFF , A0A1A2A3A4A5 , D3F7D3F7D3F7 , 000000000000 , etc.). You can add your own found keys to this dictionary for future scans.

MIFARE Classic Tool 2.3.1 is a highly capable, accessible tool for assessing the security of legacy MIFARE Classic systems. Its hardnested attack improvement and stable key management make it the preferred choice for entry-to-intermediate level RFID security testing. However, practitioners must remain aware of its technical limitations (no sniffing, chipset dependency) and legal boundaries. Organizations still relying on MIFARE Classic for high-security applications should treat any card readable by MCT 2.3.1 as effectively compromised and plan migration to MIFARE Plus or DESFire.
