flexM1 v2

The flexM1 v2 is a Mifare “Classic” S50 1k chip emulator with writable Sector 0, also known as the “manufacturer block” (includes the 4 byte NUID “serial number”).

  • 13.56MHz Mifare S50 1k emulator chip
  • 4 byte NUID and all of sector 0 is writable
  • 10.25mm x 13.5mm x 0.65mm flexible biopolymer package
  • Available as:
    • ZUID which supports both gen1a and gen2 (aka CUID) magic features. Gen2 is not enabled by default.
    • gen2 which supports direct writing to block 0 with the MIFARE Classic Tools Android app or a Proxmark. Unlike the ZUID (or gen1a tags), most readers can’t detect it as a “magic” tag.

WARNING This kit definitely contains dangerous things. The flexM1 transponder has not been tested or certified by any regulatory agency for implantation or use inside the human body. Use of this device is strictly at your own risk.

What’s so great about the flexM1 v2?

Basically, for many years the MF1ICS50 1k chip was used for all kinds of applications as a “secure chip” for everything from access control to stored value cards, and used for making localized payments within closed systems like public transit and laundry services. However, its security mechanism called “crypto1” is a simple, proprietary encryption mechanism that hardly has anything to do with modern cryptography. It has been broken for many years now, but the sheer number of systems out there that still use it means the S50 1k chip will continue to be used by legacy systems around the world for years to come. So now, you can crack the security on those cards and clone their content (including the 4 byte non-unique ID or NUID “serial number”) to your flexM1!

WARNING If you decide to purchase one of these units, be aware that “magic” chips come from Chinese grey market suppliers. Because the silicon IC inside the flexM1 is not made by a large reputable RFID transponder company, proper functionality or performance is not guaranteed. That said, the flexM1 still comes with our limited warranty protection.

Professional installation notes

Installation of a flexM1 device should always be done by a professional.

  • Do not install under any gripping surface (e.g. no palm side installations)
  • Do not install atop or parallel to any joints (flex devices are only “semi-flexible”)
Scalpel Procedure
  • Make a 11mm wide incision in skin
  • Lift & separate dermal layer using elevator tool
  • The subdermal “pocket” should be at least 25mm deep
  • Remove all tools from installation site
  • Slide flex device under skin with sterile gloves – no forceps or tools
  • Suture to close wound – do not pierce flex device while suturing
Testing process, return policy, and warranty
Functional Testing
Our flex chip implants come packaged in a gas plasma sterilized tyvek sterilization pouch that contains the flex implant which is then packaged inside a sealed polymer bag. We perform functional tests on the flex implant before shipping, and you are also able to easily test it before opening the squishpack for installation.

Material Testing
We have conducted various tests on our x-series chips, and have begun documenting similar tests on our flex implants. As more tests are performed and documented, they will appear on our flex test page.

Return Policy
We offer a 30-day money back guarantee! Read all about it on our return policy page.

Limited Warranty
If you do purchase one of our products and experience a failure, we offer a pretty good warranty on all of our implant products. You will need to return the product for testing and analysis, and if it is determined to be malfunctioning, we will ship you a replacement free of charge. Read all about it on our warranty policy page.
