history
Project history and usage
mfterm is a small GPL-licensed command-line terminal for working with MIFARE Classic 1K and 4K RFID/NFC tags. Its upstream project lives under the 4ZM GitHub account and documents a workflow centered on direct tag interaction from a terminal, with Homebrew installation for macOS and Linux packaging called out by the project.
How it is used
Its niche is practical NFC security and card-lab work rather than a broad application framework. In package-manager terms it sits near tools such as libnfc utilities, mfoc, and dump parsers: mfterm provides an interactive terminal for MIFARE Classic tags, while adjacent tools read, recover, parse, or manipulate dump files. Kali's package page and Homebrew's formula place it in the security-tooling ecosystem rather than the general desktop NFC space.
