PAM NFC
Has anyone made use of this? http://nfc-tools.org/index.php?title=Pam_nfc
I'm looking for a cheap device I can use with it to unlock my computer (running on Debian) using the xNT. Put some thought into just buying a generic device from Amazon and trying to reverse engineer it, but i'd rather use one that's well tested.

What hardware do you use? Code?

My plan was to take the keyboard I'm making now and add a serial port to the Arduino so I could just put an RFID → TTL reader there.
Sorry for derailing this thread. The technique zombiegristle uses is awesome in my opinion and I plan to use it myself, but the reader mentioned is for 125kHz tags only. Does anyone know of a plug-and-play NFC reader which acts like a keyboard?
Seems relevant
As for the location causing false-scans, I positioned my reader on my monitor stand, secured with a command strip. I have to reach up and over my keyboard to get to it, preventing any accidents but keeping it within comfortable arm's reach. I've been scanning and using it this way for over a year now, never once had a false-read. I did have a reader die on me, but that's what I get for cheaping out the first time around XD The one on Amazon I linked has been working well for months.
I'm not aware of a version for NFC, and in general Windows and NFC aren't very friendly with each other for an end-user. Things like special software stacks and such, I got it working a while ago on my desktop but now I don't remember what I did. Even then, it's a read/write tool for programming cards, not for quickly scanning them and doing something based on the scan (or dumping the contents of the tag to STDOUT).
