Kyber Crystal Data Dump

Using the Proxmark RFID reader, we scanned the kyber crystals we had and then dumped all their EEPROM data into a spreadsheet to look for any patterns.

RFID tags have a TagID that they send out to RFID readers to identify themselves. After scanned lots of crystals, we learned that there were multiple unique Tag IDs of each color. For example, instead of all Red Kybers having the same ID to identify as “Red”, there was a “Red 1”, “Red 2”, etc.

By changing the Tag ID or Word 6 in the EEPROM word data, we could make a Red kyber crystal thing it was a Green one.

After doing most of our testing by repeatedly assembling then dissassembling lightsabers, we switched over to using a holocron for easy of quick testing.

Kudos to Spork for figuring out how Word 6 works, and actually trying to rewrite a kyber crystal. (Like most people, I had assumed it would have been write-protected and was just focusing on rewritting other FOBs. Haha.)

And a BIG thank you to volunteers who offered to lend us their crystals to scan to help with our research, and a special big hand to Nick for his help and excellent reference doc on the available voices on each crystal.
