I bought 2 Goldcards (one of my teacher advised me to buy a such card to do what I want... but I think a physical attack can allow someone to copy the content of the card or the stored key when the authentication is doing but to begin its perhaps the more simple card I can find ...)
Um .. that's exactly the problem smartcards attempt to address. It's highly unlikey you'll be able to copy the protected contents without resorting to a timing attack or the like (and that has been addressed lately as well).
If you're really patient, you could decapsulate the chip and read the eeprom contents with a microscope .. but that sort of defeats the purporse as you've destroyed the original.
As to your other question, a .hex file is just a binary image. ~Mike. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it. Charter: http://lists.grok.org.uk/full-disclosure-charter.html Hosted and sponsored by Secunia - http://secunia.com/
