Hardware and software has been reworked and will be sold as the ESP-RFID-Tool by April Brother.
See www.rfid-tool.com for more info
The ESP-RFID-Thief is a port of the Tastic RFID Thief(Originally created by Fran Brown from Bishop Fox) to the ESP12S chip. One of the benefits the ESP-RFID-Thief has over the original Tastic RFID Thief is the addition of WiFi and a web interface to review captured credentials. The on board flash also eliminates the need for an SD card. The device can be combined with a RFID reader that outputs Wiegand data along with a battery pack to create a standalone RFID reader that saves all scanned cards to a log file accessible through the web interface. The HID MaxiProx 5375 running on 12V(8xAA Batteries) can capture cards from up to two feet away when combined with this device. This device can also be planted inside existing RFID reader installations to capture card data.

Gather parts
-See BOM under Board Folder
Assemble board
-Simple surface mount assembly when using low temp solder paste and a hot air rework station.
-I suggest leaving the programming header unpopulated and using pogo pins or clips to program.
Program board using FTDI
-FTDI must supply 3V3 and have 6 pins(DTR,RXD,TXD,VC,CTS,GND) and a reset button
-Be sure to press the reset button on the FTDI or hit the reset jumper on the ESP-RFID-Thief board to start flashing
-Linux: https://github.com/exploitagency/esptool
python esptool.py --port=/dev/ttyUSB1 --baud 115000 write_flash 0x00000 espthief.ino.generic.bin --flash_size 32m
-Windows: https://github.com/nodemcu/nodemcu-flasher
Install into RFID reader
-Make sure the reader outputs data in the Wiegand format
-Connect D0 on device to D0 on reader
-Connect D1 on device to D1 on reader
-Connect + on device to + on reader
-Connect - on device to - on reader
-Connect 4.5-18V battery into the same + and -(only if building a portable unit, do not add a battery if implanting device into an existing installation)

Displays all log files containing RFID tag captures.
This will erase the contents of the SPIFFS file system including ALL RFID tag captures.
Formatting may take up to 90 seconds.
All current settings will be retained unless you reboot your device during this process.
Authenticate using your username and password set in the configuration page.
Default credentials to access the firmware upgrade page:
Username: "admin"
Password: "hacktheplanet"
Select "Browse" choose the new firmware to be uploaded and then click "Upgrade".
You will need to manually reset the device upon the browser alerting you that the upgrade was successful.
J1: Bridge to reset the board(your FTDI doesn't have a reset button?)
J2: Cut the trace to disable DTR pin after programming then use it as an additional IO(continue updating firmware via web interface)
Option 1: Go to settings under web interface and choose restore default configuration.
Option 2: With power applied to the device bridge J1 twice within 3 seconds waiting a second between each "press".
