random n00by question: say that i have a key card and already determined that it's not NFC. what's the easiest way to figure out what protocol it is using? assuming it is passive RFID, is there a DIY way to read it (like with an SDR)?
If it's not 13.56MHz (Mifare, NDEF, ISO14443) I'd guess it's 125kHz (easily clonable, EM4102).

How did you conclude it was not NFC?
