+title: Reading All The Cards with a Proxmark 3
+date: 2024-11-28T10:10:01+00:00
+draft: true
+tags:
+---
+Ah yes, the Proxmark 3. Makes it ludicrously easy to copy RFID and NFC fobs and cards. Best of all, it's open source and has a large community around it, constantly developing new features and fixing issues.
+
+# Disclaimer
+Don't go around cloning cards you don't have permission to clone. You have been warned.
+# Step 1: Get your hands on one
+Proxmarks are easy to get a hold of, but it's worth being careful.
+There are a couple of versions of the Proxmark:
+- The Proxmark3 Easy, sold on AliExpress by many sellers, is the older version of the Proxmark. It's really cheap but can have mixed results - mixed reviews mean you may be in for a lottery as to if you get a working one or not.
+ - Make sure you get a 512KB Flash version, not a 256! If you get the 256K version, you'll have to compile the firmware without features to get it to work.
+ - This is the one I bought so these instructions apply mostly to it - if you have an RDV4 change `PLATFORM=PM3GENERIC` to `PLATFORM=PM3RDV4` in the compile step.
+- The Proxmark3 RDV4 is the newer, sleeker, better version of the Proxmark hardware with an improved design and a SIM card reader. It's the default build target for when you're compiling the firmware, however it is quite expensive.
+
+# Step 2: Flash the firmware
+This is probably the most difficult part, especially if you're on Windows. Windows users, please go install [MSYS2](https://www.msys2.org/) and use that instead of command prompt.
+
+If you want the latest and most detailed instructions, read the [official compilation instructions](https://github.com/RfidResearchGroup/proxmark3/blob/master/doc/md/Use_of_Proxmark/0_Compilation-Instructions.md) and the [advanced compilation parameters](https://github.com/RfidResearchGroup/proxmark3/blob/master/doc/md/Use_of_Proxmark/4_Advanced-compilation-parameters.md).
+
+You'll need Git and build tools.
+
+Firstly, clone the Proxmark repo:
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/RfidResearchGroup/proxmark3
+cd proxmark3
+```
+
+Then, checkout the latest version. At the time of writing this is `v4.19552`:
+```bash
+git checkout v4.19552
+```
+
+Create a file called `Makefile.platform` and inside it write this
+```
+PLATFORM=PM3GENERIC
+```
+Change `PM3GENERIC` to `PM3RDV4` if you're using an RDV4 instead of an Easy.
+
+Compile:
+```bash
+make clean && make -j
+```
+
+To install the client so you can use it anywhere, use the following command:
+```bash
+sudo make install
+```
+
+Now plug your Proxmark in and run the following to flash your device:
+```bash
+./pm3-flash-all
+```
+
+If all goes well, run `pm3` to get to the client:
+```bash
+./pm3
+```
+
+# Step 3: Read Some Cards
+## Which card do I have?
+Cards can be one of two frequencies, LF (125KHz) or HF (13.56MHz)
+To identify a card, place it onto the LF antenna and run `lf search`.
+If no results, place it on the HF antenna and run `hf search`.
+## Paxton (LF Hitag2)
+Paxton fobs and cards are hitag2 cards with the key `BDF5E846`. Place the fob or card on the LF antenna, then run the following in the pm3 client to dump it:
+
+```
+lf hitag dump -k BDF5E846
+```
+
+Here is some example output (not a real card):
+```

+```
+
+Pages 4 and 5 hold the data for the fob which you can write to another Paxton fob with the commands:
+```
+lf hitag writer --27 -k BDF5E846 -p 4 -d ABEC9C4D
+lf hitag writer --27 -k BDF5E846 -p 5 -d CDEF0102
+```
+... replacing `ABEC9C4D` and `CDEF0102` with your own data.
+
+To write to a T5577, take note of the hex version of the paxton descramble pattern in the output (in this case `0x3ea7a5d`), and run the command:
+```
+lf em 410x clone --id 03ea7a5d
+```
+The `id` specified to the command must have an even number of digits, so add a 0 to the start if it's not long enough.
+
+## EM4100 (LF)
+To read from EM410x cards/fobs (including T5577s), run the following command:
+```
+lf em 410x reader
+```
+
+The tag will respond with an ID:
+```
+[usb] pm3 --> lf em 410x reader
+[+] EM 410x ID 00032EBBDC
+```
+
+## T5577 (LF)
+Use the EM4100 command above to read the ID from a T5577. If you want all of the data from a T5577, run this:
+```
+lf t55xx dump
+```
