## Description

This project is an RFID research platform and protocol analyzer designed for sniffing, reading, writing, and emulating both low and high frequency RFID tags. It functions as a tool for credential auditing and the analysis of radio frequency communication between contactless tags and readers.

The system provides capabilities for RFID tag cloning, allowing identification data to be extracted from existing tags and written to blank tags or emulators. It also operates as an RFID tag emulator, simulating physical tag behavior to interact with hardware readers.

The platform covers broad signal analysis and data acquisition areas, including real-time traffic sniffing to capture data exchange and the ability to read stored contents from contactless credentials.
