Greetings

Greetings,

I found out about the Proxmark 3 and the developers community while researching the security of iClass after a co-worker that assisted with our office install was bragging about how secure they are.  I know nothing is absolutely secure but was surprised at how easy iClass cards are to clone and how the compromised versions are still being sold.

Over the last two weeks I've read just about everything I could find including Heart of Darkness, Exposing iClass, iClass Key Extraction and everything in the iClass section of the forum- multiple times.  I've also read the new user welcome, aka http://www.proxmark.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=1125 and FAQ's.

Although I'm still saving and deciding on which version of the Proxmark3 I want to purchase, I have picked up an Omnikey 5321 ($10) and an R30 HID Ver 1 reader ($12) to tinker with.

I have a background in networking and information technology with some programming experience and am excited to get started with RFID.

Re: Greetings

Welcome, 
it pleases me to hear you did some ground research.  Did you go to the "Files" and read both iclass and proxclone folders?

Re: Greetings

I did download and read everything in the iClass folder under documents but the files in the proxclone.com folder got past me.  I've now downloaded them and it looks like I have a few more days worth of reading.

Thank you,

Re: Greetings

Which pm3 kit to buy depends mostly of how much money you to to play with.  I'd buy the RDV2.0 kit anyday in the week but if you can't afford it, then pm3 easy (rdv3.0) kit works as well.  There is enough threads on the differences already on the forum.

Not many know of the proxclone archives we got   The work of @Carl55 is fantastic.
