NFCToolsGUI : A Comprehensive NFC Management Tool

NFCToolsGUI is a versatile, cross-platform program designed to interact with PN532 NFC modules, supporting Windows, Linux, and macOS.

It simplifies NFC tag management and offers a wide range of functionalities for developers, researchers, and hobbyists.

Key Features

NFCToolsGUI provides robust features for NFC tag operations:

  • Crack Card Using MFOC: Perform Mifare Classic card cracking.
  • Write and Format Cards: Easily write data or format NFC cards.
  • Lock UFUID: Securely lock block 0 of UFUID cards.
  • Advanced Cracking (HardNested): Execute HardNested brute-force attacks.
  • Dictionary Testing: Test card keys using a dictionary approach.
  • Dump Editing and Comparison: Modify and compare card dumps for analysis.

NFCToolsGUI requires the CH341 driver for communication with NFC readers:

  • Windows & macOS: Download and install the CH341SER driver.
  • Linux: Most distributions include the CH341 driver by default. If missing, install it manually.

NFCToolsGUI supports customization through compilation:

  • Core Component Compilation:
    • On Windows, use MSYS2 to execute ./compile.sh.
    • On Linux, install dependencies (e.g., libtool, pkg-config) and run the same script.
    • On macOS, use Homebrew to install dependencies before running ./compile.sh.
  • GUI Compilation: Install Node.js, then use npm install followed by npm run make to build the interface.

The program stores user files in platform-specific directories:

  • Windows: %APPDATA%\NFCToolsGUI
  • Linux: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/NFCToolsGUI or ~/.config/NFCToolsGUI
  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/NFCToolsGUI

Users may encounter serial port access issues:

  1. Remove conflicting services like brltty using sudo apt remove brltty.
  2. Grant permissions by adding the user to the dialout group or modifying port file permissions (e.g., /dev/ttyUSB0).

NFCToolsGUI is licensed under AGPL-3.0, ensuring open-source distribution while prohibiting proprietary modifications. It integrates tools like libnfc, mfoc, and crypto1_bs for enhanced functionality.

NFCToolsGUI empowers users with advanced NFC capabilities while maintaining simplicity and accessibility across platforms.
