Specter: Open-source NFC reader bug sweep for Flipper Zero

Specter is an open-source Flipper Zero application that detects powered NFC readers operating at 13.56 MHz by monitoring the radio field they emit. The tool leverages the device's built-in ST25R3916 external-field detector hardware to sense reader presence at high sampling rates.

Why it matters: Security researchers and NFC security practitioners need to understand the detection capabilities and potential gaps in NFC reader implementations, as this tool enables direct identification of active readers in physical environments.
