Badge cloning typically involves copying the data from access control badges, which frequently utilize the following technologies:

NFC (Near-Field Communication):

NFC is a subset of RFID technology that operates at short ranges (up to 10 cm). It is commonly used in modern access control systems, payment systems, and badge technologies. NFC cloning tools can intercept and copy badge data.

RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification):

RFID operates over a broader range of frequencies and distances than NFC. Many legacy access systems use RFID badges, which are susceptible to cloning attacks using RFID readers and cloning devices.

Exclusions:

Bluetooth, Modbus, Zigbee, CAN bus are not typically used in badge-based access control systems and are unrelated to badge cloning.
