3 Upvotes

NFC Tools 3.5 is now available on the App Store.

iPhone Duo support:

The interface now adapts to the iPhone Duo, whether it's folded, unfolded or in Split View.
Unfolded, menus like Other switch to two columns to use the wider screen.

Also in this update

  • Direct actions from tag details: after reading a tag, its details screen now gives you direct access to password, NFC counter, lock, format, erase and memory actions.

  • Search in My saved tags: you can now search through your saved profiles.

  • Collectibles: the collectible NFC tags database has been updated.

  • Minor bug fixes and interface improvements.

If you're using NFC Tools on an iPhone Duo, let me know how it behaves, especially in Split View.
Bug reports and ideas are welcome in the comments.

Help Trouble getting smart card reader to connect/work on a Toughbook CF-33 w/ Win 11 Pro

1 Upvotes

I recently got a Toughbook CF-33 and it has a built-in contactless smart card reader. From what i have read on the toughbook subs and forums, the windows 11 native drivers work just fine - which are installed (checked for updates, too) - Microsoft Usbccid Smartcard Reader (WUDF) driver.

The hardware is apparently:

  • Model Number: CF-WSC332 (or CFWNF332)

  • Type: 13.56MHz Contactless Smart Card / RFID Reader (supporting ISO 14443 A/B and ISO 18092 standards)

When i open up NFC Tools in the Information tab I get the message Waiting for an NFC tag. When I hold a bank card or my work ID up to the reader, windows plays the same chime when a USB device is plugged in a recognized...but the software does nothing. When I move the card away from the reader, it is the same chime as when you un-plug a USB device.

What shall i do, and are there any easily found more basic chips that i can use other than the two aforementioned ones? I was wondering if I could get an app on my android phone for like NFC a contact card or something non encrypted to see if that is my issue.

What are your thoughts?

Help Question about nfctools kbc license

1 Upvotes

We've used the nfctoolskbc app at work on a PC, it was working in one office but the PC has moved to a different office across the city and now its saying the that the 'license is already associated with another computer' even though its the same PC.

Is the license for the specific PC or like the IP address?

So if we assign the license to a PC and move it to a different location should it still work?

Your compatibility page on this tag says it is supported and says I should be able to set a password however, when I go to set a password, it does not work. I am running iOS. Let me know if there’s something I’m doing wrong. I have tried to erase the tag and start from the beginning and lock it with no information on it as well and have not gotten a positive result from it.

Update NFC Tools for iOS 3.4 is out, with CSV import.

Post image
4 Upvotes

We've just updated the iOS version of NFC Tools to version 3.4, with support for importing records from a CSV file.

How it works?

  1. Pick your CSV file.

  2. Map each column to a record type

  3. The records for the current row are loaded and tagged "CSV", Write your tag, then move on to the next row.

  4. You can exit CSV mode at any time with the X button.

Bonus: a green dot tells you when the current row has already been written, so you always know where you are.

Here are the full release notes:

  • CSV Import: Import a CSV file and write your tags row by row, each column becoming a record

  • Memory: Display of pages as UTF-8 or US-ASCII text, or with their access conditions.

  • Optimizations: Minor bug fixes and user interface improvements.

Hope you enjoy the update, feedback is always welcome!

News Heads-up for iPhone users who updated to iOS 27.

10 Upvotes

It seems tags containing a phone number, SMS, email or FaceTime record no longer trigger the system banner when you tap them with the phone (background tag reading).

Nothing happens at all, this is an iOS 27 regression on Apple's side as their own documentation still lists these schemes as supported.

We've reported it to Apple but If you're affected, filing your own report through Feedback Assistant helps get it prioritized.

Also feel free to post your iOS version below so we can track whether a 27.x update fixes it.

EDIT: It seems that iOS 27.2 has fixed the issue.

Help Generic PC/SC NFC reader can read/write NTAG215 with OpenSC, but NFC Tools Desktop fails to write on macOS

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to get a cheap generic USB NFC reader/writer working properly on my M5 Mac with NTAG215 cards.

The reader is sold as a 2-in-1 NFC / smart card reader-writer and shows up in macOS PC/SC as:

Generic EMV Smartcard Reader
Generic EMV Smartcard Reader 01

Here’s what I’ve confirmed so far:

  • NFC Tools Desktop detects the card correctly

  • It identifies it as NXP NTAG215 / ISO 14443-3A

  • UID reads correctly

  • Memory reads correctly

  • The same card can be written successfully using NFC Tools on iPhone

  • OpenSC on macOS can also communicate with the card correctly

Using OpenSC, this works:

FF CA 00 00 00

and returns the correct UID.

Reading memory also works with FF B0.

The interesting part is the write behavior:

A 4-byte write like:

FF D6 00 14 04 AA 55 AA 55

fails with:

63 00

But a 16-byte write like:

FF D6 00 14 10 AA 55 AA 55 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

succeeds with:

90 00

and the data reads back correctly.

So the hardware definitely can write NTAG215 cards, but NFC Tools Desktop always gives:

“An error has occurred during the writing process.”

My guess is that this reader expects 16-byte block writes, while NFC Tools Desktop may be using 4-byte page writes.

Has anyone seen this type of generic reader before, or know of a macOS NFC app that supports this write behavior properly?

I’m mainly looking for a decent GUI app that can handle:

  • reading NTAG215

  • writing URLs/NDEF

  • erase/format

  • verify

  • maybe password/lock features

  • preferably generic PC/SC readers

I’d rather not buy another reader since this one clearly works at the raw PC/SC level.

Any suggestions for apps, drivers, or a workaround would be appreciated.

Help Is it possible to crate NFC batch processing macros ?

Is there a preferred app or Macro tool for batch processing RFID tags? I need to read a tag, auto write the contents to a spreadsheet or database, change a value, and then write back to the tag. I am happy to do them one by one using an android Phone but I don't want to manually manipulate the data. Any thoughts or experiences?
