Inquiry About Proxmark3 Easy and ISO15693-Compatible Writable Tags

Hi there,

I am currently working with an access control system that utilizes ISO15693 (NFC Type 5) tags, specifically based on NXP ICODE SLIX/SLIX-L chips. I would like to inquire about the appropriate hardware and compatible tags for this scenario.

I am interested in obtaining a Proxmark3 Easy device and would like to confirm:

  1. Whether the Proxmark3 Easy fully supports reading and emulating ISO15693 (Type 5) tags such as ICODE SLIX-L.

  2. Whether you provide or recommend any ISO15693-compatible tags that are:

    • Writable

    • Readable

    • Ideally support UID modification or can be used in cloning/emulation workflows.

Additionally, if UID changeable ISO15693 tags are not available, I would appreciate your recommendation on the best practical approach using your hardware for replicating or testing such tags.

Please advise on the most suitable products you offer for this use case.

Thanks :slight_smile:

From the way you said this, I assume that you are managing the system. If you are managing the access control system then there should be no reason at all to clone tags. Cloning tags totally defeats the purpose of how RFID access control systems work, assigning a unique key to everyone and managing keys vs distribution of identical keys.

From a hardware perspective, the proxmark3 is capable of emulating icode tags. The question is whether the firmware and client software has been developed to the point where it’s possible. I don’t work much with iso15693 on the proxmark3.. can someone check the latest Iceman branch? I’m mobile at the moment.

I do know that some magic icode chips to exist. I may even have a few. I’ve not tested extensively though. I also know that the proxmark can update the UID on these magic icode chips but it does so through a lua script. The code to do so hasn’t been implemented directly in the client as a native command at this point.

Looks like it supports ISO-15693 under hf 15. Do these commands in @Aoxhwjfoavdlhsvfpzha’s reference page below look to be what are needed?

Looks like there is a sim section so yeah basic emulation looks like it’s supported.
