The Iceman fork of Proxmark3, the client software for the Proxmark3 RFID analysis device, supporting reading, cloning, simulating, and sniffing a wide range of RFID/NFC tags. It includes extensive commands and Python/Lua scripting for chip identification and penetration testing.

Use cases

• clone and emulate RFID access cards
• analyze Mifare and iCLASS contactless smartcards
• sniff ISO14443A/B and ISO15693 tag communications
• read and write 125kHz low-frequency tags
• penetration test NFC and RFID systems
• identify unknown RFID chip types
• recover keys from Hitag2 transponders

When to choose

• you own a Proxmark3 device and want the most feature-rich client firmware and tooling
• you need broad protocol coverage for RFID/NFC security research
• you want scripting support to automate RFID analysis tasks

When to avoid

• you need a pure software RFID reader without Proxmark3 hardware
• you only need casual NFC tag reading on a phone
• you require a simple GUI-only workflow without command-line usage
