NFCGate is an Android application meant to capture, analyze, or modify NFC traffic. It can be used as a researching tool to reverse engineer protocols or assess the security of protocols against traffic modifications.
Notice: This application was developed for security research purposes by students of the Secure Mobile Networking Lab at TU Darmstadt. Please do not use this application for malicious purposes.
Features:
- On-device capture: Captures NFC traffic sent and received by other applications running on the device.
- Relay: Relays NFC traffic between two devices. One device operates as a "reader" reading an NFC tag, the other device emulates an NFC tag using the Host Card Emulation (HCE).
- Replay: Replays previously captured NFC traffic in either "reader" or "tag" mode.
- Clone: Clones the initial tag information (e.g. ID).
- pcapng export of captured NFC traffic, readable by Wireshark.
Requirements for specific modes:
- NFC support
- Android 4.4+ (API level 19+)
- Xposed: On-device capture, relay tag mode, replay tag mode, clone mode.
- ARMv8-A, ARMv7: Relay tag mode, replay tag mode, clone mode.
- HCE: Relay tag mode, replay tag mode, clone mode.

NFCGate provides an in-app status check. For further notes on compatibility see the compatibility document.
Wants root
While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device. Some clients have this repo enabled by default, e.g. Neo Store or, of course, the IzzyOnDroid client by Sunil. With others (like the official client) you'll have to add this repo manually (see the hint on top of the package list for how to do that).
