Product overview

PN532Killer is designed for RFID development, interoperability testing, tag research, and authorized security assessment. It presents a PN532-compatible host interface while adding features that are not available on a standard PN532 module.

Main capabilities

Reader

• ISO/IEC 14443 A and B operations through compatible PN532 software
• ISO/IEC 15693 reading and writing
• Identification of supported MIFARE Classic, ICODE, and EM4100 tags
• Faster UART settings for supported software and host hardware

Emulator

• MIFARE Classic 1K, including supported 4-byte and 7-byte UID configurations
• NTAG emulation on current firmware
• Selected ISO/IEC 15693 tag types
• EM4100 when the LF/BLE extension is installed
• Eight on-device slots for supported tag profiles

Sniffer

• MIFARE Classic authentication capture with a tag (MFKey64)
• MIFARE Classic authentication capture without a tag (MFKey32v2)
• Static Nested data collection on supported cards and firmware
• Reader/tag traffic research for supported protocols

PN532 compatibility

PN532Killer can work with many applications that support a PN532 over high-speed UART. Extended PN532Killer features require software that implements its additional commands, such as the official Python CLI or supported MTools applications.

PN532 compatibility does not mean every PN532 driver, transport, command, or card type is guaranteed to work. See Compatibility before planning a deployment.
