  Why do U need the info?
  Go read up on ISO/IEC 7816,ISO/IEC 10373,ISO/IEC 14443 standards and RFID technology.

  The electrical signals can be replicated, but who bother, so difficult and get caught = die.
  
  SMRT logs every top-up, transit (MRT, LRT, Bus). So if the top up minus away transit fare is negative (below $1), haha... they know you cheat straightaway.
  
  And no! You cannot bluff McDonald's also, because the EZLink company also got log... muhahhah.

  why U think about the illegal things?knowledge of the ezlink card system can be made for good usage too...like U can manufacture an ezlink card holder that allows people to keep 2 cards in 1 holder(1 for use,1 for backup)...

  aiya.. EZ Link cost $300 million to set up and millions more for the software updates and fixing glitches, yet operators still complain still lose money to cheats.. all redundant.. some more EZ link card now have non refundable deposit.. farecard was cheaper and better
