nfc-list - list NFC targets

nfc-list [ options ]

nfc-list is a utility for listing any available tags like ISO14443-A, FeliCa, Jewel or ISO14443-B (according to the device capabilities). It may detect several tags at once thanks to a mechanism called anti-collision but all types of tags don't support anti-collision and there is some physical limitation of the number of tags the reader can discover.

This tool displays all available information at selection time.

Tells nfc-list to be verbose and display detailed information about the targets shown. This includes SAK decoding and fingerprinting is available.
Polls only for types according to bitfield value of X:


1: ISO14443A
2: Felica (212 kbps)
4: Felica (424 kbps)
8: ISO14443B
16: ISO14443B'
32: ISO14443B-2 ST SRx
64: ISO14443B-2 ASK CTx
128: ISO14443B iClass
256: ISO14443A-3 Jewel
512: ISO14443A-2 NFC Barcode

So 1023 (default) polls for all types. Note that if 16, 32, 64 or 128 then 8 is selected too.

For an ISO/IEC 14443-A tag (i.e.Mifare DESFire):


ATQA (SENS_RES): 03 44
UID (NFCID1): 04 45 35 01 db 24 80
SAK (SEL_RES): 20
ATS (ATR): 75 77 81 02 80
