Re: Proxmark III as a standard NFC reader?

Your question show that you haven't read enough what is exactly proxmark and how MFOC/MFCUK works...

That's probally why nobody answer you.

First, Proxmark is not a reader even it can act as a reader... Plus, in NFC world "reader" doesn't mean anything.

Secondly, MFOC/MFCUK relies on libnfc to work and libnfc doesn't support Proxmark as NFC device.

Re: Proxmark III as a standard NFC reader?

Thanks! Now I understand a little more from an expert. Sorry If I asked a very n00d question. Maybe someone wrote some firmware code for the Proxmark to act like a reader supported by libnfc, who knows.

Thank you for your response. I will try to read a little more next time before asking =)

Re: Proxmark III as a standard NFC reader?

For info: I decided to spend some of my time to (try to) write a libnfc driver for the proxmark III, initially just using it as a Mifare/ISO014443-A reader (initiator).
(Hey, the proxmark is supposed to be a very versatile RFID istrument, so I also want to be able to use it with libnfc).
So if someone else is also working on this, please let me know, so we can avoid double work.

Btw, no promisses on when it will be ready (if I get it to work at all). But if I succeed, I will share my code with the libnfc project.
