@Otto Pureblood They can take their alleged Jewish genius and move the fuck to Israel with no money or weapons from the US. We'll gladly revert to our traditional lifestyle of planting potatoes, raising livestock and learning eternally.

However, this is an apt presentation of what goes on in the mind of our greatest allies ever and presumably, God's chosen folk. They can have all their ornaments of deception back, we no longer want them. The novelty has worn thin. One wonders, if the Amish are also parasites feeding off alleged Jewish genius? We will not be jealous, one doubts that anyone ever was. What we will be and continue to be, is contemptuous.

Reading NFC Passport Chips in Linux


shkspr.mobi/blog/2025/06/readi…

For boring and totally not nefarious reasons, I want to read all the data contained in my passport's NFC chip using Linux. After a long and annoying search, I settled on roeften's pypassport.

I can now read all the passport information, including biometrics.

Table of Contents

Background


The NFC chip in a passport is protected by a password. The password is printed on the inside of the physical passport. As well as needing to be physically close to the passport for NFC to work0, you also need to be able to see the password. The password is printed in the "Machine Readable Zone" (MRZ) - which is why some border guards will swipe your passport through a reader before scanning the chip; they need the password and don't want to type it in.

I had a small problem though. I'm using my old passport1 which has been cancelled. Cancelling isn't just about revoking the document. It is also physically altered:

Cut off the bottom left hand corner of the personal details page, making sure you cut the MRZ on the corner opposite the photo.


So a chunk of the MRZ is missing! Oh no! Whatever can we do!?

Recreating the MRZ


The password is made up of three pieces of data:

  1. Passport Number (Letters and Numbers)
  2. Date of Birth (YYMMDD)
  3. Expiry Date (YYMMDD)

Each piece also has a checksum. This calculation is defined in Appendix A to Part 3 of Document 9303.

Oh, and there's a checksum for the entire string. It's this final checksum which is cut off when the passport cover is snipped.

The final password is: Number Number-checksum DOB DOB-checksum Expiry Expiry-checkum checksum-of-previous-digits

Python code to generate an MRZ


If you know the passport number, date of birth, and expiry date, you can generate your own Machine Readable Zone - this acts as the password for the NFC chip.
Python 3def calculateChecksum( value ): weighting = [7,3,1] characterWeight = { '0': 0, '1': 1, '2': 2, '3': 3, '4': 4, '5': 5, '6': 6, '7': 7, '8': 8, '9': 9, '<': 0, 'A':10, 'B':11, 'C':12, 'D':13, 'E':14, 'F':15, 'G':16, 'H':17, 'I':18, 'J':19, 'K':20, 'L':21, 'M':22, 'N':23, 'O':24, 'P':25, 'Q':26, 'R':27, 'S':28, 'T':29, 'U':30, 'V':31, 'W':32, 'X':33, 'Y':34, 'Z':35 } counter = 0 result = 0 for x in value: result += characterWeight[str(x)] * weighting[counter%3] counter += 1 return str(result%10)def calculateMRZ( passportNumber, DOB, expiry ): """ DOB and expiry are formatted as YYMMDD """ passportCheck = calculateChecksum( passportNumber ) DOBCheck = calculateChecksum( DOB ) expiryCheck = calculateChecksum( expiry ) mrzNumber = passportNumber + passportCheck + DOB + DOBCheck + expiry + expiryCheck mrzCheck = calculateChecksum( mrzNumber ).zfill(2) mrz = passportNumber + passportCheck + "XXX" + DOB + DOBCheck + "X" + expiry + expiryCheck + "<<<<<<<<<<<<<<" + mrzCheck return mrzprint( calculateMRZ("123456789", "841213", "220229") )

Can you read a cancelled passport?


I would have thought that cutting the cover of the passport would destroy the antenna inside it. But, going back to the UK guidance:

You must not cut the back cover on the ePassport


Ah! That's where the NFC chip is. I presume this is so that cancelled passports can still be verified for authenticity.

Cryptography and other security


The security is, thankfully, all fairly standard Public Key Cryptography - 9303 part 11 explains it in excruciating levels of detail.

One thing I found curious - because the chip has no timer, it cannot know how often it is being read. You could bombard it with thousands of password attempts and not get locked out. Indeed, the specification says:

the success probability of the attacker is given by the time the attacker has access to the IC, the duration of a single attempt to guess the password, and the entropy of the passport.


Can you brute-force a passport?


Wellllll… maybeeeee…?

Passports are generally valid for only 10 years. So that's 36,525 possible expiry dates.

Passport holders are generally under 100 years old. So that's 3,652,500 possible dates of birth.

That's already 133,407,562,500 attempts - and we haven't even got on to the 1E24 possible passport numbers!

In my experiments, sending an incorrect but valid MRZ results in the chip returning "Security status not satisfied (0x6982)" in a very short space of time. Usually less than a second.

But sending that incorrect attempt seemed to introduce a delay in the next response - by a few seconds. Sending the correct MRZ seemed to reset this and let the chip be read instantly.

So, if you knew the target's passport number and birthday, brute forcing the expiry date would take a couple of days. Not instant, but not impossible.

Most commercial NFC chips support 100,000 writes with no limit for the number of reads. Some also have a 24 bit read counter which increments after every read attempt. After 16 million reads, the counter doesn't increment. It could be possible for a chip to self-destruct after a specific number of reads - but I've no evidence that passport chips do that.

Is it worth brute-forcing a password?


If you were to brute-force the MRZ, you would discover the passport-holder's date of birth. You would also get:

  • A digital copy of their photo,
  • Their full name,
  • Their sex2,
  • The country which issued their passport, and
  • Their nationality.

All of that is something which you can see from looking at the passport. So there's little value in attempting to read it electronically.

Installing


As mentioned, I'm using github.com/roeften/pypassport

The only library I needed to install was pyasn1 using pip3 install pyasn1 - your setup may vary.

Download PyPassport. In the same directory, you can create a test Python file to see if the passport can be read. Here's what it needs to contain:
Python 3from pypassport import epassport, reader# Replace this MRZ with the one from your passportMRZ = "1234567897XXX8412139X2202299<<<<<<<<<<<<<<04"def trace(name, msg): if name == "EPassport": print(name + ": " + msg)r = reader.ReaderManager().waitForCard()ep = epassport.EPassport(r, MRZ)ep.register(trace)ep.readPassport()
Plug in your NFC reader, place your passport on it, run the above code. If it works, it will spit out a lot of debug information, including all the data it can find on the passport.

Getting structured data


The structure of the passport data is a little convoluted. The specification puts data into different "Data Groups" - each with its own ID.

By running:
Python 3ep.keys()
You can see which Data Groups are available. In my case, ['60', '61', '75', '77']

  • 60 is the common area which contains some metadata. Nothing interesting there.
  • 61 is DG1 - the full MRZ. This contains the holder's name, sex, nationality, etc.
  • 77 is the Document Security Object - this was empty for me.
  • 75 is DG2 to DG4 Biometric Templates - this contains the image and other metadata.

Dumping the biometrics - print( ep["75"] ) - gives these interesting pieces of metadata:
'83': '20190311201345','meta': { 'Expression': 'Unspecified', 'EyeColour' : 'Unspecified', 'FaceImageBlockLength': 19286, 'FaceImageType': 'Basic', 'FeatureMask': '000000', 'FeaturePoint': {0: {'FeaturePointCode': 'C1', 'FeatureType': '01', 'HorizontalPosition': 249, 'Reserved': '0000', 'VerticalPosition': 216}, 1: {'FeaturePointCode': 'C2', 'FeatureType': '01', 'HorizontalPosition': 141, 'Reserved': '0000', 'VerticalPosition': 214}}, 'Features': {}, 'Gender': 'Unspecified', 'HairColour': 'Unspecified', 'ImageColourSpace': 'RGB24', 'ImageDataType': 'JPEG', 'ImageDeviceType': 0, 'ImageHeight': 481, 'ImageQuality': 'Unspecified', 'ImageSourceType': 'Static Scan', 'ImageWidth': 385, 'LengthOfRecord': 19300, 'NumberOfFacialImages': 1, 'NumberOfFeaturePoint': 2, 'PoseAngle': '0600B5', 'PoseAngleUncertainty': '000000', 'VersionNumber': b'010' }
If I understand the testing document - the "Feature Points" are the middle of the eyes. Interesting to see that gender (not sex!) and hair colour are also able to be recorded. The "PoseAngle" represents the pitch, yaw, and roll of the face.

Saving the image


Passport images are saved either with JPEG or with JPEG2000 encoding. Given the extremely limited memory available photos are small and highly compressed. Mine was a mere 19KB.

To save the image, grab the bytes and plonk them onto disk:
Python 3photo = ep["75"]["A1"]["5F2E"]with open( "photo.jpg", "wb" ) as f: f.write( photo )
As expected, the "FeaturePoints" co-ordinates corresponded roughly to the centre of my eyes. Nifty!

What didn't work


I tried a few different tools. Listed here so you don't make the same mistakes as me!

mrtdreader


The venerable mrtdreader. My NFC device beeped, then mrtdreader said "No NFC device found."

I think this is because NFC Tools haven't been updated in ages.

Jean-Francois Houzard's and Olivier Roger's pyPassport


I looked at pyPassport but it is only available for Python 2.

beaujean's pyPassport


This pypassport only checks if a passport is resistant to specific security vulnerabilities.

d-Logic


Digital Logic's ePassport software only works with their hardware readers.

Android reader


tananaev's passport-reader - works perfectly on Android. So I knew my passport chip was readable - but the app won't run on Linux.

Is it worth it?


Yeah, I reckon so! Realistically, you aren't going to be able to crack the MRZ to read someone's passport. But if you need to gather personal information3, it's perfectly possible to do so quickly from a passport.

The MRZ is a Machine Readable Zone - so it is fairly simple to OCR the text and then pass that to your NFC reader.

And even if the MRZ is gone, you can reconstruct it from the data printed on the passport.

Of course, this won't be able to detect fraudulent passports. It doesn't check against a database to see if it has been revoked4. I don't think it will detect any cryptographic anomalies.

But if you just want to see what's on your travel documents, it works perfectly.

  1. There are some commercially available long range readers - up to 15cm! I've no doubt some clever engineer has made a some high-powered radio device which can read things from a mile away using a Pringle's tube. Of note, the ICAO guidance says:
    the unencrypted communication between a contactless IC and a reader can be eavesdropped within a distance of several metres.


    ↩︎

  2. I'm not dumb enough to do this stuff on a live passport! ↩︎
  3. Sex is complicated5. But ICAO allow for "F for female, M for male, or X for unspecified". ↩︎
  4. Under the auspices of GDPR, of course! ↩︎
  5. Nor does it check if the holder is on some Interpol list. ↩︎
  6. Stop giggling at the back! ↩︎

🚨Le vice-président américain Jay D. Vance : « La #Russie et la #Chine ne veulent pas que l'Iran se dote de l'arme nucléaire. » Il a ajouté que la prolifération nucléaire au Moyen-Orient serait « une catastrophe pour tous ».
Premièrement, la Russie et la Chine ne veulent aucune ingérence des #États-Unis dans leurs affaires intérieures, sous quelque forme que ce soit. Et tous ceux qui font des déclarations au nom de nos deux pays, mais sans mandat de leur part, feraient bien de commencer par là.
Par exemple, ne pas fournir de missiles meurtriers au régime terroriste de Kiev, ne pas militariser Taïwan, etc.
Deuxièmement, la Russie et la Chine s'expriment elles-mêmes : les déclarations correspondantes sur l'agression d'Israël et des États-Unis ont été publiées par les ministères des Affaires étrangères des deux pays.
Troisièmement, la Russie et la Chine estiment que l' #Iran (comme tout autre pays) peut et doit déterminer lui-même sa stratégie de développement de l'énergie #nucléaire conformément au droit international, en particulier au TNP, et que les autres États peuvent également fonder leur position à cet égard sur le droit international.
Quatrièmement, l'Iran a développé l'énergie nucléaire à des fins pacifiques, ce à quoi il a pleinement droit, et n'a pas fabriqué d'armes nucléaires, ce qui a été confirmé à plusieurs reprises tant par Téhéran que par l'AIEA.
Cinquièmement, un peu d'histoire. L'idée d'un #Moyen-Orient exempt d'armes nucléaires a peut-être été évoquée pour la toute première fois dans une déclaration de l'agence de presse soviétique, qui était alors la voix officielle de Moscou, le 22 janvier 1958 : « Le Proche et le Moyen-Orient doivent et peuvent devenir une zone de paix, où il n'y a pas et ne doit pas y avoir d'armes nucléaires et de missiles, une zone de bon voisinage et de coopération amicale entre les États ».
En 1974, l'Iran, qui subit aujourd'hui les frappes d' #Israël et des États-Unis, a lancé un débat sur ce sujet à l'Assemblée générale des Nations unies, qui s'est conclu par l'adoption de la résolution « Création d'une zone exempte d'armes nucléaires dans la région du Moyen-Orient ». 128 pays ont voté « pour », dont l'Union soviétique et les États-Unis. Israël s'est abstenu.
L'URSS/Russie s'est systématiquement prononcée en faveur de la création d'une zone exempte d'armes nucléaires au Moyen-Orient.
À l'heure actuelle, le seul État de la région à posséder l'arme nucléaire est Israël, qui ignore systématiquement les initiatives visant à créer une zone exempte d'armes nucléaires au Proche-Orient et qui, désormais, bombarde conjointement avec les États-Unis l'Iran, qui ne possède pas l'arme nucléaire.
Alors, que voulait dire M. #Vance ?

Pavel #Durov étrille les #médias français et #LeMonde

Dans un post #Telegram, Pavel Durov, fondateur de l’appli cryptée, a taclé sans ménagement la presse française. Après son arrestation controversée à Paris en août 2024, le patron de Telegram dénonce une campagne de dénigrement systématique – et Le Monde en tête. Analyse d’un règlement de comptes qui en dit long sur l’état de notre paysage médiatique.

Premier grief de Durov : son interview fleuve accordée à Tucker #Carlson, vue des millions de fois sur YouTube… mais passée à la trappe par tous les journaux français. « Aucune couverture », souligne-t-il, avec un émoji silence en guise de pied de nez. Étrange, pour un pays si prompt à s’indigner dès qu’un entrepreneur ose critiquer l’ordre établi. Oubli involontaire ? Plutôt une omission bien pratique, tant le récit de Durov – détaillant son interpellation ubuesque – dérange.

Let's see reactions for one of the Russian heroes who took action to sabotage the military machine of Russian #imperialism. Let's see if they will raise their voices against this unjustified sentence. All of these european "democrats" who call just for armaments, serving the interests of bourgeoisie of #EU, #Russia and #USA, will speak out or they will still fuel the war machine of imperialist powers with russophobia and #racism?

A fediverse post of @avtonom_org@todo... - 36m ago Gathering for the defense of anarchist Ruslan Sidiki On May 23 anarchist Ruslan Sidiki was sentenced to a record 29 years in prison. The sentence was imposed because of two acts of sabotage against the military infrastructure near Ryazan: blowing up a railroad track and a drone attack on an airfield. Ruslan explained his actions by the desire to impede strikes on Ukraine. In his last statement at the trial, Ruslan said that he had carefully planned his actions to avoid casualties. The attack on the airfield damaged the runway and the controlled detonation of the railroad tracks caused 19 cars of a freight train to derail. avtonom.org/news/sbor-na-zashc... #RuslanSidiki #FreedomFire #SolidarityZone #Russia #Ryazan #Ryazan #RyazanOblast #anarchism #AutonomousAction Show original Translated from Russian using DeeplL.com

„Die #Impfpflicht kann kein Tabu sein [...] Wir müssen schneller werden beim Impfen, wir müssen die überzeugen, die sich nicht #impfen lassen wollen. Und die, die sich nicht impfen lassen wollen, denen sagen ich: #Freiheit kommt auch einher mit Verantwortung. Wir werden nicht zulassen, dass diejenigen, die sich diszipliniert verhalten, die an #Wissenschaft glauben, die nicht daran glauben, dass die Erde eine Scheibe ist, dass die weiterhin leiden müssen unter denjenigen, die glauben, dass sie Sonderrechte genießen.

Congrats NYC, you elected a Socialist with no experience to be the Dem candidate for mayor to run against the current mayor who is running as an Ind, and Curtis Sliwa as the Rep candidate, I have complete faith in you going full socialist. Oh, and you also decided that Alvin Bragg was doing a great job as Manhattan DA, as he won in a landslide.
Possible mayor who wants to defund the PD, and a soft on crime DA. 2026 is going to be a stellar year.

First sea-level records for coastal community protection


image

Majuro, Marshal Islands, is at risk from sea-level rise

While satellites have revolutionised our ability to measure sea level with remarkable precision, their data becomes less reliable near coasts – where accurate information is most urgently needed. To address this critical gap, ESA’s Climate Change Initiative Sea Level Project research team has reprocessed almost two decades of satellite data to establish a pioneering network of ‘virtual’ coastal stations. These stations now provide, for the first time, reliable and consistent sea-level measurements along coastlines.
