I have a smart card reader on my computer. I assume it is capable of writing information to the smartcard as well.
What I would like to do is Rip Certificates from a chip and copy them on to a new chip. What software do I need to do this?
Anything else I need to know about doing such a thing?
Use ecplorer to copy the file to the hard drive and inset the new smart card. Reverse the procedure. Some readers are only readers like the one I have in a printer.
That’s much like trying to use explorer to copy a DVD or a CD, isn’t it? Doesn’t seem like it would work. But could you be more detailed? The Smart Card does not show up as an external drive or something that can be “explored”. When I double click on the SmartCard Reader icon in my task tray, it brings up all this information that is on the card, but I have no way of copying that info my computer.
You make it sound really simple though, so obviously I’m doing something wrong or missing something. I assumed I needed some type of ripping software designed to copy the Security Certificates and other info on a Smart Card.
I think Harmonious Discord is referring to SmartMedia flash memory. I take it you are referring to the credit-card sized authentication devices?
Unfortunately, this Wikipedia article suggests that the design of some smart cards is intended to prevent exactly what you are trying to do. If the certificate is signed by a key on the card, you may be able to copy the certificate, but it will no longer be valid.
Yup, that’s what I’m talking about. It appears one would need some serious hacker skills to pull off what I wanted. Damn.
Any serious h@XZ0Rs have advice?
And with that, let’s put this one to bed.
