What is BomberCat?

BomberCat is the latest security tool that combines the most common card technologies: NFC technology (Near Field Communication) and magnetic stripe technology used in access control, identification, and banking cards. Specially created to audit banking terminals, and identify NFC readers and sniffing tools, with this tool you can audit, read or emulate magnetic stripes and NFC cards.

It also has an ESP32 co-processor with WiFiNINA firmware that allows it to make WiFi connections to use with HTTP or MQTT protocols, which will allow relay and spoofing attacks to be tested over long distances or on local web servers.
