Proxmark Kit - Hardware To Clonning And Emulating RFID Cards

Proxmark3 - Cloning Hotel Card, Credit Card, Subway Card xploitlab

With just card you can buy everything, open hotel room, pay for subway and bus, and more. You know, every cards is have an Radio-frequency Identification (RFID) that uses electromagnetic fields to automatically identify and track tags attached to objects. The tags contain electronically stored information. Because of that attacker is possible to clone the cards. But, to perform clonning on RFID cards you need a special hardware called “Proxmark“.

Introduction

The Proxmark is an RFID swiss-army tool, allowing for both high and low level interactions with the vast majority of RFID tags and systems world-wide. Originally built by Jonathan Westhues over 10 years ago, the device has progressively evolved into the industry standard tool for RFID Analysis.
Its versatility has seen it adapted to many industries and uses: from RFID enthusiasts, academic research, product development, law enforcement and penetration testing.

There has been a rapid evolution of the hardware and software in the last few years, resulting in mature and minaturised versions of the hardware. There are revisions optimised for in-the-field use, such as red-teaming or pen-testing, and desktop versions tweaked for research use in the office or lab.

Who use a Proxmark ?

Penetration Testing
- The miniature size of latest Proxmark, along with its standalone mode and Android-based tools make it the ideal tool for testing, sniffing, replaying and cloning in red-teaming environments.
Development
- Access to low-level sniffing, logging, demodulating and replay tools make the Proxmark a must-have device for anyone developing products or services in the RFID space.
Research
- The Proxmark is the tool behind all major RFID Security Research breakthroughs: Mifare Classic Crypto cracking, Mifare PRNG analysis, VingCard exploitation & defeat to name a few.
RFID Enthusiast
- The Proxmark is found on the desk of thousands of hobbyists, hackers and makers worldwide. Its comprehensive codebase provides simple RFID reading, writing, cloning, cracking, and emulation.

Proxmark Hardware

Over the last ten years, there have been several generations and revisions of the Proxmark hardware. There are several non-supported and legacy devices, and also off-market / clone versions devices as well.
