1# proxmark3: the official Proxmark repository!
2
3The proxmark3 is a powerful general purpose RFID tool, the size of a deck
4of cards, designed to snoop, listen and emulate everything from
5**Low Frequency (125kHz)** to **High Frequency (13.56MHz)** tags.
6
7This repository contains enough software, logic (for the FPGA), and design
8documentation for the hardware that you could, at least in theory,
9do something useful with a proxmark3.

20## Development
21
22The tools required to build or run the project will vary depending on
23your operating system. Please refer to [the wiki](https://github.com/Proxmark/proxmark3/wiki) for details.

25## Obtaining hardware
26
27The Proxmark3 is available for purchase (assembled and tested) from the
28following locations:

30* [RyscCorp](https://proxmark3.com/) (US)
31* [Elechouse](http://www.elechouse.com/) (HK)
32* [Lab401](https://lab401.com/) (FR)
33* [RFxSecure](http://www.rfxsecure.com/) (SG)
34* [IceSQL](http://proxmark3.tictail.com/) (SE)

36Most of the ultra-low-volume contract assemblers could put
37something like this together with a reasonable yield. A run of around
38a dozen units is probably cost-effective. The BOM includes (possibly-
39outdated) component pricing, and everything is available from Digikey
40and the usual distributors.
41
42If you've never assembled a modern circuit board by hand, then this is
43not a good place to start. Some of the components (e.g. the crystals)
44must not be assembled with a soldering iron, and require hot air.
45
46The schematics are included; the component values given are not
47necessarily correct for all situations, but it should be possible to do
48nearly anything you would want with appropriate population options.
49
50The printed circuit board artwork is also available, as Gerbers and an
51Excellon drill file.
