vaxproxy

What

This tool is a "proxy" which works with a request to medicare's site, gets your vaccination data and turns it into a EU-compatible QR-code

The QR-code can be verified by:

• Using a checker app, with the only modification of adding a public key with keyId: MThhYmM4OWY1NDk0NmE5ZQ==
• Using this vacdec script, and place cert.pem in the certs folder as 31386162633839663534393436613965.pem

See details below.

How

The proxy sends a request with your cookies to medicare, and converts the JSON containing your vaccination data into a sign1 cose/cbor message, then compresses and base45s the result (as per the EU specs).

GIANT RED WARNING: Doing this sends your temporary myGov authentication token to my server. This is very risky, as I could potentially be doing anything with it, including stealing your identity. The code that runs this is right here and deploys from the GitHub action and does nothing nefarious, but I could potentially deploy malicious code outside of this. I'm not that kind of person, but you have to trust me. Sorry.

• Log in to myGov in your browser
• Go to the following URL while your browser's network developer tools are open: https://www2.medicareaustralia.gov.au/moaapi/moa-ihs/record/cir/data/1
• Find the request in Network, right click and "Copy as cURL"
• In a terminal, paste the request. Change the URL from "https://www2.medicareaustralia.gov.au..." to "https://medicare.whatsbeef.net/?irn=1" and remove the Host header. Also add --output code.png on the end, because the proxy responds with an image.

If your IRN on your card is not 1, modify the irn GET parameter on the URL to the number on your card.

e.g.:

curl 'https://medicare.whatsbeef.net/?irn=1' \
-X 'GET' \
