NFCGate is an Android application for capturing, analyzing, modifying, relaying, replaying, and cloning NFC traffic. It is a security research toolkit for reverse engineering NFC protocols and assessing their resistance to traffic manipulation.

Use cases

  • capture NFC traffic from apps on my Android device
  • relay NFC traffic between two phones
  • replay captured NFC tag traffic
  • clone an NFC tag's ID
  • export NFC captures to Wireshark via pcapng
  • reverse engineer an NFC protocol
  • test NFC protocol security against relay attacks

When to choose

  • you need to capture, relay, replay, or clone NFC traffic on Android for security research
  • you want pcapng exports analyzable in Wireshark
  • you have a rooted/Xposed-capable device and NFC hardware

When to avoid

  • you need a cross-platform or desktop NFC analysis tool
  • your device lacks NFC, HCE support, or an Xposed-compatible hooking framework
  • you want a turnkey tool without root/hooking setup
