About the Magspoof-1 PCB

Magspoof-1 is an open source AVR/Arduino PCB design by vaginessa, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 35 × 29 mm, with 11 components from 10 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the ATTINY85-P, from the AVR/Arduino family. Other key parts include the TC4424. By type, the board carries 3 capacitors, 2 ICs, 2 connectors, 1 switch, 1 diode and 1 inductor.

It belongs with the iot & wireless designs in this gallery.

From the project

MagSpoof is a portable device that can spoof/emulate any magnetic stripe, credit card or hotel card "wirelessly", even on standard magstripe readers. It can also disable Chip&PIN and predict future AMEX card numbers.

MagSpoof is a device that can spoof/emulate any magnetic stripe or credit card. It can work "wirelessly", even on standard magstripe/credit card readers, by generating a strong electromagnetic field that emulates a traditional magnetic stripe card.

Note: MagSpoof does not enable you to use credit cards that you are not legally authorized to use. The Chip-and-PIN and Amex information is not implemented and using MagSpoof requires you to have/own the magstripes that you wish to emulate. Simply having a credit card number and expiration is not enough to perform transactions. MagSpoof does allow…

Magspoof-1: common questions

What microcontroller does the Magspoof-1 use?

The Magspoof-1 is built around the ATTINY85-P, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the Magspoof-1 PCB?

The Magspoof-1 measures 35 × 29 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Magspoof-1?

11 components, from 10 distinct parts, with part numbers taken from the project's own BOM. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Magspoof-1 design files?

From the vaginessa/magspoof-1 repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Magspoof-1 design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with vaginessa. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the Magspoof-1 without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug AVR/Arduino firmware against it before you order a PCB.
