Overview

This manual page documents briefly the rfdump command.

This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

rfdump is a tool to detect RFID-Tags and show their meta information: Tag ID, Tag Type, manufacturer etc. The User-Data of a tag can be displayed and modified using either a Hex or an ASCII editor. In addition, the integrated cookie feature demonstrates how easy it is for a company to abuse RFID technology to spy on their customers. rfdump works with the ACG Multi-Tag Reader or similar card reader hardware.
