Proxmark III is the most powerful and versatile open hardver for conducting RFID research.
Proxmark3 is a powerful tool for the general use of RFID, the purpose of which is to emit to everything from low frequency (125kHz), including high frequencies (13.56MHz) tags.
This device can do almost anything involving almost any kind of low (125 kHz) or high (13.56 MHz) frequency RFID tag. It can act as a reader. It can analyze the signal received over the air more closely, for example to perform an attack in which we derive information from the tag's instantaneous power consumption. It can analyze the signal received through the air, for example, to perform an attack in which we derive information from the tag's instantaneous energy consumption. It can pretend to be a tag itself. It can pretend to make a mark in itself. It is also capable of some less obviously useful operations that might come in handy for development work. It is also capable of some less obviously useful operations that could come in handy for developmentwork.
Proxmark3 runs from the latest firmware acquisitions in LF and HF mode and output tracks, quite useful already to decode a number of different types of brands, do some operations in ISO 15693 and ISO 14443 A and B modes, but if you really want to make the most of this device, you will need to change the firmware according to your needs.
Features also include: Read almost any RFID label, can detect communication between the reader and the label. Works in standalone mode without PC (USB requires batteries)
The hardware includes an ARM processor, an FPGA, 4 LEDs, buttons, and two USB ports. USB ports provide communication with the PC, and antenna connection. High and low frequency antennas can be connected via the HIROS (4-pin) USB port. In the production series, a 100pF capacitor is used in the HF circuit, but all devices purchased after March 29, 2010 use a 47pF capacitor. The high frequency antenna seised.
All boards are tested to work properly, with the latest firmware avaialbe at the time. We can also boast active user communities and comprehensive documentation.
We supply the device including both antennas, we welcome software support.
