What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-29, confidence not recorded

The official (now archived) client software, FPGA logic, and design documentation for the Proxmark3, a general-purpose RFID tool that can snoop, read, clone, and emulate low-frequency (125kHz) and high-frequency (13.56MHz) tags. Active development has moved to the RRG/Iceman fork.

Use cases

  • sniff and analyze RFID tag communications
  • clone RFID access cards
  • emulate 125kHz and 13.56MHz tags
  • reverse engineer NFC and RFID protocols
  • audit physical access control systems
  • read and write RFID tags

When to choose

  • you own a Proxmark3 device and need the original official firmware and client
  • you want the historical reference implementation or design documentation for the hardware

When to avoid

  • you want active development, bug fixes, or new tag support - use the RRG/Iceman fork instead
  • you need a software-only RFID tool without Proxmark3 hardware
