External resources
You might want to follow one of these external resources to get an overview, but please still read carefully this page as some instructions may vary.
- ParrotOS: some further notes can be found at @5w0rdfish repo Proxmark Installation for Parrot OS
- Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS, 15.10 or 16.04 GC updates on the Proxmark3 Ubuntu wiki page
- A nice and cool install script made by @daveio is found here: https://github.com/daveio/attacksurface/blob/master/proxmark3/pm3-setup.sh (unavailable?)
- Iceman has also added this script to the fork. https://github.com/RfidResearchGroup/proxmark3/blob/master/install.sh
Install the required dependencies
On Debian / Ubuntu / Kali / ParrotOS
First what we want to do is get an update for the system. If you need to upgrade do this before the install. An upgrade was carried out prior to following these instructions.
Update the packages list
sudo apt-get update
Install the requirements
sudo apt-get install p7zip git ca-certificates build-essential libreadline5 libreadline-dev \
libusb-0.1-4 libusb-dev libqt4-dev perl pkg-config wget libncurses5-dev gcc-arm-none-eabi libstdc++-arm-none-eabi-newlib
On ArchLinux
sudo pacman -Sy base-devel p7zip libusb readline ncurses arm-none-eabi-newlib --needed
yaourt -S termcap
Clone the RRG/Iceman repository
git clone https://github.com/RfidResearchGroup/proxmark3.git
Check ModemManager
Very important: make sure ModemManager will not interfer, otherwise it could brick your Proxmark3! Read carefully this page about ModemManager and follow its instructions.
Check connection
Check the proxmark is being picked up by your computer. Plug it in, then:
sudo dmesg | grep -i usb
It should show up as a CDC device:
usb 2-1.2: Product: PM3
usb 2-1.2: Manufacturer: proxmark.org
cdc_acm 2-1.2:1.0: ttyACM0: USB ACM device
And a new /dev/ttyACM0 should have appeared.
Get permissions to use /dev/ttyACM0
Add current user to the proper group to get permission to use /dev/ttyACM0.
This step can be done from the RRG/Iceman Proxmark3 repo with:
make accessrights
Then, you need to logout and login in again for your new group membership to be fully effective.
To test you have the proper read & write rights, plug the Proxmark3 and execute:
[ -r /dev/ttyACM0 ] && [ -w /dev/ttyACM0 ] && echo ok
It must return ok. Otherwise this means you've a permissions problem to fix.
Compile and use the project
Now you're ready to follow the compilation instructions.
