libnfc supports UUID writable cards and even has some dedicated tools for them.

However it doesn't work with some of the cards found on eBay that are even simpler to use. Sector 0 is unlocked and can be written without any additional commands. libnfc requires a small patch to get it working.

Following has been tested under ArchLinux with modified libnfc 1.5.1, mfoc 0.10.2 and a SCL3711 dongle.

Patch & recompile libnfc

The patch is fairly simple, open libnfc-1.5.1/utils/nfc-mfclassic.c and comment 2 lines (it was lines 384 and 385 for me):

minteye is a captcha system where you try to find the original image out of distorted ones. They also have a feature list on their website but they forgot the view from a computer. I fixed it:

minteye captcha features

There are two ways to crack this captcha easily. I've used the audio challange. There are three different kind of audio messages.

  1. move the slider to the right
  2. move the slider to the left
  3. slider is in the correct position
