Paxton Bullet Fob Copier

The TDF1 was indeed the only pure, standalone Paxton copier on the market for two and a half years but this year another player entered the market so the original inventor of the TDF1 wrote a software based backup, copying, creating lost tokens from shadow cards, etc system. It’s good to have competition though. Better for the end user.

Hi Onisan... Can you point us in the right direction of the more cost effective one?

Several people seem interested - at least asking for info on cheaper options, which there doesn't seem to be any sign of! So maybe there is a bit of a market afterall. Would anyone be interested in being a beta tester? It would need to be someone who actually deals with Paxton locks enough to actually test it out.

I said it was good to have competition so market away

The TDF1 was the original and at the time ‘Only’ Paxton copier. I then bought out the ETD1 computer based HF copier. Both available through distributors. I then bought out the icopy-xs UK specific firmware to copy all the fobs the Smartcard Deluxe copies and the ETD1 copies plus more. Unfortunately we couldn’t get the antennas to work across both these technologies and the Paxton so I’ve bought out a computer based Paxton Backup token system that can also copy the tokens as well as save details of tokens, shadow cards, function cards to a database. Oh and create lost tokens from shadow cards, lost shadow cards from tokens etc…

I can see why you wanted to put me off selling one for £150 then ;-)

rfid antennas are a pain in the backside, especially when dealing with fobs. I have never yet got a clean read of a paxton fob on my proxmark, with stock or custom antennas.

Or make an enrollment card or bar all users card from a user token! Don't think I'll leave that in the version I ship though - too much potential for abuse.

Near me a lot of stuff is getting replaced with the fobs pictured.

The Smart Card Deluxe won't do it neither does the ETD1.

The iCopy XS reads it as DESFIRE however does not offer an option to copy it.

Do either of you professionals forsee an update for this?

But the fobs that are sold as working with the TDF1 are original fobs 

I assume they just write some specific bit of data to a genuine tag and the device checks for that. That way you have to buy their special tags, which presumably are more expensive.

Exactly rax,

The thing is, it took two years to break the encryption for Paxton. Hundreds of man hours and this needs to be recouped. 

you guys can now copy a fob you couldn’t before and now make a little bit more money. Hopefully you get the outlay back and it’s worth it.

I can understand, and it's pretty common practice to tie people in to buying specific consumables with patents, technical measures, etc. (or failing that try to convince them their consumables are better than the alternatives "always use genuine Yale keys").

Luckily it only took me 2 days to work out how to clone them so not a lot of effort to recoup, and I'm not interested in getting in to retailing blanks, so there are no restrictions in my tool - can use unmodified Paxton fobs straight off eBay.

Does anyone know where the TDF1 Fobs can be purchased from in bulk? I know there are a few places that sell them online but they want £7.50 per fob,. I'm guessing these come from China but am struggling to find a direct supplier, I've looked on Dhgate but without success. I Purchased a P1 cloner thinking the normal paxton fobs would be good to copy but I was wrong as they are coded differently.
