There is a NFC dissector plugin available at google code.

http://code.google.com/p/wireshark-nfc/

So, you will at least be able to dissect NFC traffic with Wireshark, if you are able to use that plugin with Wireshark (see the instructions on that site) and you have some hardware that is able to generate the NFC capture file (search google for: NFC protocol sniffer).

Regarding capturing NFC traffic with Wireshark.

This would require a NFC device that is supported by libpcap (Linux,etc.) or WinPcap (Windows). I'm not sure if such a device exists at the moment. I could not find anything with google.

Thank you for kindly help. I downloaded the NFC dissector plugin source code and built it on the Win8 plantform. But I don't known how to generate the NFC capture file. Is "NFC protocol sniffer" a hardware or a software?
