NFC hacking can be a challenging process with lots of specialised equipment, a proliferation of protocols, and a multitude of various devices. [ElectronicCats] has performed a large amount of operate to check out to make this investigation available by building an open up-supply, hardware-qualified NFC software named the HunterCatNFC that can study and emulate a multitude of NFC gadgets.
The HunterCatNFC unit is meant to be portable and self contained, with LED indicator lights that can give information and facts about the various modes, and feed-back about what details is getting been given. At its core, the HunterCatNFC has an NXP PN7150 NFC controller chip to handle the NFC conversation. The principal processing controller is a Microchip SAMD21 which also gives USB functionality, and the full machine is powered by a 3.7V 150mAh Li-ion battery.
The HunterCatNFC has three principal modes, ’emulation’, ‘read/write’ and ‘peer-to-peer’. Emulation mode allows the HunterCatNFC to mimic the operation of a passive NFC system, only responding when an NFC reader problems a ask for. The read/write manner lets it to emulate an NFC reader or author, with the potential to converse with nearby passive NFC gadgets. The peer-to-peer manner presents the device the ability to have two way conversation, for instance, among two HunterCatNFC products.
We have coated NFC hacking just before, which include the Flipper Zero. The HunterCatNFC is a great addition to the NFC hackers arsenal of equipment with some incredibly wonderful documentation to master from. For people not wanting to send out their own boards to be printed and assembled, [ElectronicCats] has them for sale.
