DEF CON 33 NFC Faceplate – Tap Into Access Everywhere

Built for DEF CON 33 and its theme, Access Everywhere, this NFC Faceplate bridges your physical and digital worlds. The embedded rewritable tag lets you launch shortcuts, share contact info, or trigger automations with a simple tap. Finished in DEF CON 33's signature green-to-yellow gradient, it fits Keyport Pivot, Slide, and Anywhere Tools. This is stealth tech for high-access operators.

What is a Faceplate Scale?

Keyport Faceplate Scales are removable side plates that allow you to customize your Keyport Pivot, Keyport Slide, or Anywhere Tools Bundles by Keyport. Like knife scales, Faceplate Scales provide both function and personalization to Keyport’s modular key organizers, key holders, and keychain multi-tools.

Why Choose This NFC-Enabled Faceplate Scale?

The DEF CON 33 NFC Faceplate is engineered for both function and flex. It features a stainless steel mounting plate, a UV-hardened polycarbonate shell for rugged wear resistance, and a centrally embedded NFC tag you can program to share links, launch apps, or trigger smart automations with a tap. Topped with DEF CON 33’s signature colorway, it’s built for everyday carry that speaks hacker fluently.

But this isn’t just a faceplate—it’s a smart upgrade for your Keyport. Embedded with a rewritable NXP NTAG215 NFC chip, this NFC tag Faceplate lets you store and share contact info, URLs, payment links, and more with just a tap.

Compatible with both iPhone and Android, you can program it using the free NFC Tools app (available on iOS and Android).

Because the chip is rewritable, you have the flexibility to update your information anytime using NFC Tools, which is available for iOS in the Apple App Store and for Android in the Google Play Store.

Programming Tip:

iPhone users: Must program using the NFC Tools app first before scanning.
Android users: Can scan right away, but it will appear blank until set up.

Every Black on Black Topo NFC-Enabled Faceplate features a durable stainless spring steel plate staked to a polycarbonate outer shell. The graphics are hardened on the outside of the PC shell with a special ink that is baked on with ultraviolet light and highly resistant to wear and tear. The fastener-free design snaps on and off in seconds using a paperclip, pen tip, or the RuSH Tool.

Elevate your gear with a stylish, tech-forward faceplate that keeps you connected.

Note: Each Faceplate is individually sold.

It premiered at DEF CON 33, but a limited quantity is available online while supplies last. Once they're gone, they're gone.

What can I program the NFC chip to do?

You can program the chip to share contact info, open a website or social media profile, trigger a smart home routine, launch a payment app, connect to Wi-Fi, or even open a digital business card—just by tapping your phone.
