[NFC Hacking] Disconn3ct:
In theory, newer DC metro smart cards are readable but the older ones aren't. (In practice, the ones we have aren't scannable so I can't be sure.) When the proprietary vendor went under there was a bunch of noise about not using open standards for the system - the thing is, the project was started 6 years before there was a standard. The scanners they use put in can read standard cards, and the replacement cards are supposed to be standard NFC. (Proprietary encoding/software still, but standard cards.)
[NFC Hacking] w1bmw:
Because that's where it is? Numerous threads on this board and others support this, as well as markings on the battery itself.

[NFC Hacking] sorphin:
All it uses is the "UID" stored in the first 2 pages of the NFC. It's a waste really. I've just went in, grabbed one, registered, get my free polar pop for registering, and format the card. lol. The first 2 pages are factory locked. Found one in the parking lot that had 5 points already on it, so i use that one.

Thanks I will check out the NXP app. The other one does have far more downloads however.
[NFC Hacking] rastlin:
Is there any way that we can read the raw data from an NFC tag, someone posted above me that all we are able to read is the UID. There has to be a way to read more. Right?
[NFC Hacking] Disconn3ct:
Depends on the card. Some use encryption/authentication, others are just open. Open ones show everything.

[NFC Hacking] niteh@wk:
The NFC chip is, yes, on the board. The NFC antenna, depending on the phone, is either on the battery or on the back cover. My Nexus S has the antenna on the back cover. It has two connectors that connect to the on-board chip when the backcover closes. The SGS III I believe has the NFC antenna on the battery.

[NFC Hacking] one5:
There is actually an app that does that already. I believe it is called Electronic Pickpocket. It hides most of the card number to prevent criminal use but I'm sure there are some black hat apps that can grab everything.

If you have a RFID card I would defiantly implement some form of RFID signal blocking.

List of NFC apps that you use

Could we maybe start a list in OP's post of apps that you guys use for NFC? Maybe not only to scan, but anything NFC related?

Just a thought :)
[NFC Hacking] one5:
There are a lot of NFC apps in the play store, so I think a list of the best ones would be great. However if it is going to cover all NFC related apps it would be better to create a separate thread for it.
[NFC Hacking] TimB1087:
I have a few for you.

In Japan, there are 3 major emoney options.

One is called Edy, which has an app for NFC devices, and there's usually an Edy app available for many of Japan's non android phones as well.

Edy allows you to apply a credit card to the app and charge your app with funds. You can then use your phone to pay for things at convenient stores and whatnot.

Edy itself does not, however, directly pay for train passes (train gates have NFC readers, a bit on that in a moment).

There are 2 e money options for paying for train fees in Japan- Suica and Pasmo.

The most common way to use either is to buy a plastic NFC card which you can charge at machines at most train stations and convenient stores, using cash.

These cards can then be swiped over the train gates' NFC readers. The card is noted with your first location, then noted again at your destination and deducts the correct amount depending on distance traveled.

Both Pasmo and Suica cards can also be used on compatible vending machines, convenient stores, taxis, buses, and more, just like NFC cards here in America.

To my knowledge, neither Suica nor Pasmo have a specific app on any of the major mobile markets (iOS/android).

However, I do believe you can add your Pasmo or Suica card to the Edy app.

You can also use an app called FareBot to read your Suica and Pasmo cards to see the current balance, but that's it- it's just a reader.

Im summary:

FareBot can read your Suica, Pasmo, and perhaps many other cards to tell you current balance.

Edy app can be downloaded. It's region specific. People without a phone purchased in Japan may need to use this mod to remove country restrictions. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1582422

Then, you can add funds to the app, as well as use the app to utilize the Suica and Pasmo payment options, meaning you don't need your card! =D Just swipe the phone as you pass through the turn gate!

I haven't actually used the Edy app, so I don't know the exacts about it. If someone uses it, please reply with what exactly it can do to keep others informed!

For those in America, there seems to be a really awesome multipurpose wallet app in the works called Isis. The intention seems that it wants to be the most versatile, allowing you to add loyalty cards, coupons, credit cards, etc... it's not even released yet, and it does way more than google wallet. Here's the link to the front page. From there you can navigate to the news and follow them for updates. I'm looking forward to it.

NFC is available in the city of Nice, France.

Works for paying bus tickets, train tickets, buying products from NFC ready shops.

I cannot post link to quote as i am a new member. Just hope i come back here to add to link when i have 777 on XDA.

EDIT: I can't stay here and watch my post lack of important information, so here is the outside link to this information for NFC in Nice:

[NFC Hacking] Amanoo:
I just unknowingly lay down my S3 on my passport, and it decided to scan it. Didn't ever think of the possibility of it even having a chip.

You can add Dutch Passport to the list. Also, my passport was issued on the 5th of July, 2011. I don't know when they started adding NFC to passports.

We have two types of passport-like things btw, some people have an ID card instead of a passport. They have the same function but the ID card is only valid within Europe, while the passport is worldwide. Since I do not own an ID card I cannot test if it has NFC as well. The card is usually called Identity Card, Nederlandse Identiteitskaart, or NIK. So if any Dutch person wanted to add another Dutch national ID, pay attention, it might be another type of passport, and you might want to put it under passports instead of ID.

Are you referring to the Citi Bank credit card?
[NFC Hacking] beastlykings:
Oh, no, sorry I suppose I forgot not everyone lives where I do :o

Forwards is a company owning gas stations of their own, and also Shell gas stations, here in Michigan USA, and probably nationwide though I'm too lazy to check. Using your rewards tag you get points for gas and money spent, which turns into free gifts and such.

Unless you already know that, and are referring to a credit card that is teamed with Forwards and does the same thing? Like BP does with Chase? I don't know for sure if that exists, again to lazy to check. But I'm speaking of the key chain tag they give you for free. Sorry again about the confusion.

[NFC Hacking] wemmert:
I just found the same thing...yesterday in fact...I was a little bored and decided to scan EVERYTHING and yep, same card type and everything.

mine is a Circle K rewards card. I have yet to actually see if I can still use it after writing to it.

What I do know is, if you carefully pick and choose what you want to do, and make sure that the end result for your program is about 36 bytes (which for what I did was 6 tasks: BEDTIME -- turn airplane mode on, alarms on, lock screen; READY FOR WORK -- turn airplane mode off, wifi on, data on).

so if you watch your space and don't get tooooo fancy you can really trick out those (free) cards.
[NFC Hacking] sysadmn:
I don't see Libraries adopting it, since an NFC tag costs ~$1, and a barcode sticker ~$0.05. Multiplied over thousands of items, that's a substantial difference. That said, there is a lot you can do with a barcode - check out the library apps in Google Play. My local library allows you to check out a book by scanning it, or to scan a book's UPC and find out if the library owns it. You can reserve items from the app, and even checkout and download electronic books. Way, way cool.

[NFC Hacking] Journyman16:
Colour me confused... Why would your phone be used to scan cards? My thought of having NFC in a phone would be more to replace such things - i.e. be able to store info in the phone and use it to (say) make a purchase or 'Touch-On' for Myki etc. Is there a use for scanning cards etc?

Or, are you all talking about NFC as used by official sources - shops airports etc.?
[NFC Hacking] one5:
Many such as the passports have no practical reason to be scanned, it is more of a novelty and a way to try out NFC with household items. There are some such as transit cards that could have a practical application. If we get emulation further down the road then there is the potential to store theses cards, and not have to carry them.
