Technical papers and publications that used the Proxmark
The Proxmark is a professionaly designed sensitive, high performance device. As with any RF device, manufacturing tolerances and supply chain reliability must be kept tight. While it may be tempting to purchase a 'discount' device from AliExpress - these are grey market clones - with poor performance and lifespan.
For the Proxmark RDV4 and Proxmark Evo, there are only two official distributors: Lab401 and Hacker Warehouse.
High quality tools require some investment; purchase from an official distributor to avoid frustration and to support the engineers that maintain the Proxmark Platform.
Lab401 provides RFID, RF and Penetration Testing tools for the European market, specialising in hand-picked, high quality tools.
Hacker Warehouse provides the full spectrum of tools for security professionals: non-destructive entry tools, RF & RFID tools, and a wide variety of pen-testing hardware.
