Proxmark 5

Descripción

The Proxmark 5 is RFID research hardware for analysing supported cards, tags and radio-frequency systems during authorised security assessments. It is designed for professional penetration testers, security teams, researchers and students working in controlled environments.

Key features

• Supports RFID reading, writing, emulation, demodulation and signal analysis for supported systems.
• Designed for multi-frequency RFID research across low-frequency and high-frequency systems, with the manufacturer also documenting UHF support.
• Redesigned architecture intended to improve operating speed, stability and RFID performance.
• Hot-swappable antennas with dynamic power adjustment for changing test conditions.
• Modular design with support for expansion modules, GPIO connections and wireless capability.
• USB-C connectivity with dual-mode support for external peripherals and development work.
• Can integrate with Flipper Zero through supported connections.
• Two Proxmark 5 units can be used for authorised wireless relay auditing in a controlled test environment.
• Includes an integrated frequency detector for identifying RF fields and frequencies.
• Open-source development support and compatibility with the RFID Research Group community firmware.

Technical details

• Manufacturer: RFID Research Group.
• Platform: Proxmark 5.
• RFID coverage: LF, HF and UHF capability as documented by the manufacturer.
• HF operating frequency: 13.56 MHz.
• LF coverage: 125 kHz to 500 kHz, according to the manufacturer’s published platform information.
• Connection: USB-C, with GPIO and expansion interfaces.

Compatibility and setup

The Proxmark 5 uses firmware built from the RFID Research Group Proxmark repository and is configured for the PM5 platform. Setup includes flashing the bootrom, full image and FPGA over USB; the manufacturer documents USB DFU recovery. Firmware is described as pre-release and potentially unstable, so it is intended for users comfortable with development tools and testing hardware.

Buying in the UK and EU

RedKit Labs lists this RFID Research Group device for UK and EU buyers with prices shown in GBP, EUR or USD and VAT handled at checkout. Transmitting is regulated by national radio rules and licence-exempt band conditions, so confirm local requirements before transmission; receiving and analysing authorised RFID systems is the common lawful use.
