Next you just need to build the .ist packer (usually 4-byte magic + length + ATR + raw TLV stream + optional CRC). I can give you the exact packer in the next message if you want.
Would you like:
The full .ist packer (reverse-engineered format used in 2026 IST Tools)?
Support for contactless (14443-4) APDUs?
Or a version that works without pyscard (pure APDU log parser)?
Just say the word and I’ll drop the next module instantly.
