Protect Tag

And wing when you delete the password gives me this error:

/usr/bin/python2.7 /home/rafael/PycharmProjects/NFC/probando.py
Traceback (most recent call last):

    rsp = self.transceive(bytearray("\x1B") + key[0:4], rlen=2)
TypeError: transceive() got an unexpected keyword argument 'rlen'

This is my other program:

import nfc

def connected(tag):
    tag.authenticate(b"123456")
    tag.protect("")

clf = nfc.ContactlessFrontend("usb")
clf.connect(rdwr={"on-connect": connected})
clf.close()

This looks like a bug that was fixed with release 0.11.1 (https://github.com/nfcpy/nfcpy/releases/tag/v0.11.1) and should thus as well be fixed in the version on PyPI. It looks like you're working with an earlier version.

OK thank you very much. But once you assign a password to my NTAG213, it is read-only, as it could do to write or format your content??

thanks !!

And I can remove the password so you can be writeable. Thanks

I hope you remember the password you've used as it has been correctly set and the failure was only afterwards. You should be able to use that password to authenticate and then change to whatever else.

Yes, but my question is how to remove the password, because if I set tag.protect ( "") establishes me as an empty string password, but not me delete the password. How could it be?

Thanks.

Sorry, my fault. Protect with an empty string sets the default password (which is b"\xFF\xFF\xFF\xFF\x00\x00"). To completely remove protection use the protect_from argument with value 255:

tag.protect("", protect_from=255)

Ok, but still does not completely remove the password, I show my program:

import nfc
import nfc.ndef

def connected(tag):
    correct = tag.authenticate("000000")
    if correct:
        print "correct"
        correct2 = tag.protect("", protect_from=255)
        if correct2:
            print "correct 2"
        else:
            print "incorrect 2"
    else:
        print "incorrect"

clf = nfc.ContactlessFrontend("usb")
clf.connect(rdwr={"on-connect": connected})
clf.close()

The results:

correct
correct 2

Process finished with exit code 0

Until here all right, but is this happening now:

My program:

import nfc
import nfc.ndef

def connected(tag):
        print(" readable = %s" % ("no", "yes")[tag.ndef.is_readable])
        print(" writeable = %s" % ("no", "yes")[tag.ndef.is_writeable])
        print(" capacity = %d byte" % tag.ndef.capacity)
        print(" message = %d byte" % tag.ndef.length)
        print tag.ndef.message.pretty()

clf = nfc.ContactlessFrontend("usb")
clf.connect(rdwr={"on-connect": connected})
clf.close()

The results:

  readable = yes
  writeable = no
  capacity = 142 byte
  message = 13 byte
record 1
  type = 'urn:nfc:wkt:U'
  name = ''
  data = '\x00probando'

We can see that is still ¡¡¡writable = no!!! As I can do to make it writable?

Thanks

This should do the trick:

tag.authenticate("")
tag.format()

No, if I format TAG, I delete the content, but writeable = no. I want to be writeable = yes

 readable = yes
 writeable = no
 capacity = 142 byte
 message = 0 byte
record 1
  type = ''
  name = ''
  data = ''

Thanks Stephen Tiedemann, that solved my question.
