The Proxmark is the industry standard device for RFID analysis, providing multi-frequency reading, writing, emulating, demodulation, sniffing and cracking across almost any RFID system and frequency. The Proxmark 5 is a generational upgrade over the Proxmark 3, covering both operational improvements and adding new functionality. The upgraded system core brings increased frequency range, optimised RFID performance, improved stability, faster operations. The fully redesigned core is faster, more stable, supports more frequencies. The redesigned antennas are hot-swappable and feature dynamic power adjustment - meaning better performance in challenging conditions, further read-range and “no dead-spots”. The modular architecture allows for drop-in modules (like the wireless module), expansion via GPIO, and even pairing with the Flipper Zero. Users can now connect two Proxmark 5 devices to perform relay attacks: one device reads the original card and transmits its data wirelessly to another device positioned on a reader, enabling a new class of RFID audit capability. The Proxmark 5 was designed in close collaboration with the Proxmark community; all functionality and features are integrated and supported in the “iceman” firmware. IMPORTANT ⚠️ Pre-release firmware The Proxmark 5's firmware is pre-release / currently unstable. If you required stable, out-of-the-box functionality we advise purchasing the Proxmark 3 RDV4.01 Discover the Proxmark 5 Proxmark 5 Advantages Eight years of community feedback, technical improvements and RFID research culminated in one device. Discover how the Proxmark 5 will improve your RFID workflow: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 New Architecture Eight years of hardware improvements for unmatched RFID & system performance: RFID operations benchmarked at least 65% faster. New Antennas Hot-swappable, high-performance dynamic antennas for improved read range, no dead-spots and more stable coupling. Built for mobile audits Drop-in battery+wireless module for mobile-first audits and improved standalone capabilities. New Pentest Functions Two Proxmark 5 device can be paired to perform wireless relay audits: one device reads the card, the other opens the door. Built for flexibility Connect anything: Flipper Zero, SPI, UART, External Mass Storage via the Dual-Mode USB-C port Built to be extended Accessible GPIO and open-source code make development, modules and expansion easy. Integrated Frequency Detector Detect and identify RF fields and frequencies instantly Functionality The Proxmark 5 is the most advanced and complete RFID research platform available, covering high-level functions (read, write, emulate, clone), pentest and audit oriented functionality (cracking, sniffing and relay) and low-level functions (interacting with the bit-stream, demodulating raw frames, analysing protocols). Designed, oriented and optimised towards technical users, the Proxmark device is controlled via its command-line interface (CLI) in a wired or wireless context. New users should expect a learning curve - but are supported by extensive documentation and tutorials, and welcomed by the active Discord and Github communities.
