TLDR: This blog post delves into the NFC capabilities of the Flipper Zero, explaining how to scan, emulate, and clone NFC cards. It covers necessary tools, ethical considerations, and practical applications, including using amiibo and hotel key cards. The post emphasizes safe experimentation and provides insights into various NFC card types and their functionalities.

Welcome to another episode of Modern Broadcast! Today, we are diving into one of the coolest features of the Flipper Zero: Near Field Communication (NFC). Whether you're interested in scanning a key card, emulating your work badge, or simply curious about the technology behind amiibo, this guide has you covered.

## What is NFC?

NFC stands for Near Field Communication. It is the same technology that allows your phone to make contactless payments. With the Flipper Zero, you can scan, emulate, and even clone NFC cards. This opens up a world of possibilities for experimentation and learning.

## Tools You Will Need

To get started with NFC on the Flipper Zero, you will need the following tools:
- **Flipper Zero**: Your main device for NFC operations.
- **NFC Card Tag**: For demonstration, we will use an amiibo, but you can also use other NFC tags.
- **Smartphone**: Optional, but useful for testing and backups.

## Demonstrating NFC Functionality

Let's jump into a demonstration of how NFC works with the Flipper Zero. First, we will read an NFC card. For this example, we will use a hotel key card from a recent trip to Canada. 

### Reading an NFC Card

1. **Tap the Card**: Place the hotel key card against the back of the Flipper Zero. The device will prompt you with a message saying, "Don't move."
2. **View Card Information**: The Flipper Zero will display the card type, such as "MiFair ultralight 11," and the number of pages read. In this case, it shows that 16 out of 20 pages are accessible, indicating that some pages are password protected.
3. **Unlocking Pages**: If you had the right permissions, you could hypothetically unlock these pages to gain access to the hotel room.

### Emulating an NFC Card

Next, we will demonstrate how to emulate an amiibo. Here’s how:
1. **Read the Amiibo**: Tap the amiibo to the back of the Flipper Zero. The device will identify it as an "NTA AG" or "N tag 215."
2. **Unlock and Save**: After unlocking the pages, you can save the amiibo data under a name, such as "Link."
3. **Writing to a Blank Card**: If you have a blank NFC card or sticker, you can write the amiibo information to it by tapping it to the back of the Flipper Zero.

## Practical Applications of NFC

The Flipper Zero can do much more than just read and emulate cards. Here are some practical applications:
- **Creating Amiibo Copies**: You can order blank N tag 215 cards online and write amiibo data to them, allowing you to create copies without spending a fortune on original amiibo figures.
- **Custom NFC Tags**: You can design NFC tags for various purposes, such as turning your phone to silent mode or setting a do-not-disturb status when entering a workshop.
- **Business Cards**: Get creative by using translucent NFC cards to make unique business cards that can store your contact information.

## Ethical Considerations

While the Flipper Zero is a powerful tool, it is essential to use it responsibly. Just because you can replicate or clone an NFC card does not mean you should. Always seek permission before using this technology on office badges, school tags, or any other personal identification. Stay ethical and avoid misuse.

## Conclusion

In summary, the Flipper Zero offers exciting capabilities for exploring NFC technology. From reading and emulating cards to creating custom NFC tags, the possibilities are vast. Remember to experiment safely and ethically. If you have any questions or want to see specific features in future videos, let us know in the comments!
