Introduction
The HydraNFC is an incredibly powerful and flexible 13.56MHz NFC sniffing/reading/writing/emulating platform for 13.56MHz tags.
The Hydra NFC is less expensive, more powerful/extensible than Proxmark3 Hardware and does not require an FPGA (all is done by the MCU Cortex M4F@168MHz with the help of HydraBus with an ultra-fast unique algorithm to sniff & decode in real-time PICC/PCD NFC cards).
Functionality in a glance
Below is a non-exhaustive list of what the HydraNFC brings to the table.
Ultra-Portable
Only 33 grams and 54x35x13 mm
Full Throttle NFC interaction
Direct Mode 0 access for unrestricted development
Ultra-Capable Out of the Box
Full support for all common NFC cards, real-time sniffing
Technical Specs
In addition to all HydraNFC specifications:- Supports Near Field Communication (NFC) Standards NFCIP-1 (ISO/IEC 18092) and NFCIP-2 (ISO/IEC 21481)
- Completely Integrated Protocol Handling for ISO15693, ISO18000-3, ISO14443A/B, and FeliCa
- Integrated Encoders, Decoders, and Data Framing for NFC Initiator, Active and Passive Target Operation for All Three-Bit Rates (106 kbps, 212 kbps, 424 kbps) and Card Emulation
- RF Field Detector With Programmable Wake-Up Levels for NFC Passive Transponder Emulation Operation
- Programmable System Clock Frequency Output (RF, RF/2, RF/4) from 13.56-MHz Crystal
- Programmable Modulation Depth
- Dual Receiver Architecture With RSSI for Elimination of “Read Holes” and Adjacent Reader System or Ambient In-Band Noise Detection
- Programmable Output Power: +20 dBm (100 mW), +23 dBm (200 mW)
- Support any protocols under 13.56 MHz with modulation depth OOK (100%) or ASK (from 7% to 30%)
- Support low-level Direct Mode 0 (Raw RF Sub-Carrier Data Stream) or intermediate level (for special tags, not ISO compliant like MIFARE Classic® …) Special Direct Mode for TX and Direct Mode 1 for RX using ISO encoders/decoders without protocol framing
