Cardpeek is a free, open-source tool to read the contents of smart cards, including EMV bank cards, transport cards, e-passports, SIM and Mifare Classic cards.[1] It features a GTK+ GUI to represent card data in a tree view, and is extendable with the Lua scripting language. It runs on Linux, Windows, Mac OS X and FreeBSD.[2][3]

History
The first version of Cardpeek was released in July 2009 by Alain Pannetrat with support for EMV, Moneo and Navigo cards, with the goal of allowing smart card owners to be better informed about the type of personal information that is stored in these devices.[5]
The tool attracted attention for its ability to read the French Navigo transport card used in Paris.[6][7]
The tool was enhanced over the years with improvements and support for other cards, both by the original author and by external contributors.[8] It is now available as a package in many major Linux distributions, including Ubuntu,[9] Debian,[10] Fedora[11] and Gentoo. It also works on Windows, FreeBSD, Mac OS X[12] and the Raspberry Pi.
In 2013, a group of students of the Instituto Superior Técnico used Cardpeek to investigate possible privacy issues created by the use of the Lisboa VIVA card.[13] The script they developed was later added to Cardpeek.
In 2014, with the help of a truck driver, Cardpeek was extended with the capability to read tachograph driver cards, giving other drivers a free and open-source tool to access their driving activity data.[14][15]
