Portable promark setup?

Support
1

Hi All.

Relative newbie here looking for advice.

I bought a proxmark3 last year, loaded it up with the iceman firmware and successfully used it to copy my mifare classic gym card to a keyfob. And then helped a friend copy his em410 keyfob to a t5577.

I was on holiday at the tail end of last year & the hotel were using mifare classic key cards. This got me wondering about a portable set up with the proxmark. I have an android phone but as far as I can tell it needs to be rooted for termux and pm3 to work?

I did find a project with a pi zero that I might play about with. But curious of any other suggestions for a travel friendly set up?

It is possible to use the PM3 with a non-rooted android phone, you just need an extra app:

AHH thanks.

I’d started reading the termux setup and stopped when I got to the part about needing root.

I’ll need to have a hunt for my otg cable and see how I get on.

So I ended up needing to clone some Paxton fobs. I took this as an opportunity to update the firmware on my proxmark to the current version. Updated the version of proxspace on my laptop & set up termux on my fire tablet with the current build.

All up and running thanks for your help.

termux is the required client, what are on you on about.

for non rooted android you’ll need TCPUART bridge.

wouldn’t recommend using a pi via ssh unless you have the means to power it properly

Thanks

I got there in the end.

I misunderstood the docs and didn’t get that it was root or the TCP bridge app.

I’ve now got it running on my fire tablet.

I assumed by client app they meant installing proxspace into termux ?

you dont need to install proxspace into termux though, just the cli client

Sorry I’m getting confused.

I’m used to running the pm3 software in proxspace on windows, so conflating the two together. Now that you have said that I’m thinking proxspace is a windows equivalent of Termux and the part cloned from GitHub in both instances its the pm3 software?
