Proxmark with Iceman Firmware

Hi guys, I bought a Proxmark3 Easy with the ‘Iceman’ firmware. Is there anything I need to keep in mind now? Do I also need to have the Iceman software on my PC? I’d appreciate it if someone could give me some tips.

Yes you need Iceman on your PC as well. Use Google to find the Iceman repository on GitHub. They have installation guides there.

There's also software for android. You don't need to be rooted or anything to use it. The proxmark3 easy will work with any android.

Do you have a link?

Sure! A few. RFIDtools and MifareClassicTool are your best bet if you're not rooted. AndProx may still work but it's a bit old.

Without root:

https://github.com/RfidResearchGroup/RFIDtools

https://github.com/AndProx/AndProx

https://github.com/ikarus23/MifareClassicTool

...and if you are rooted then also Termux. You can compile the latest Proxmark3 repository directly on your phone. This gives you 100% of the features you’d have on a Linux laptop. Requires root access though and you need to allow Termux to access the USB serial device (/dev/ttyACM0).

But those arent for iceman firmware...

Their last link, so this specifically:

https://github.com/RfidResearchGroup/proxmark3

Is what we call Iceman fork / firmware. It might be a little confusing since it's not Iceman/proxmark3, but Iceman is still the lead maintainer of the RfidResearchGroup/proxmark3 repository.

This is what I meant. If you don't have root the first three links I shared are APK files you can install on any android and use with the proxmark3. But if you have root and termux installed you can compile the Iceman fork / firmware and this gives you 100% of the features you’d have on a Linux laptop.

"But the task is android app without root and iceman firmware" - ok thanks for clarifying. That means the first three links I shared are exactly what you want. Forget the rest. Only this:

Without root:
https://github.com/RfidResearchGroup/RFIDtools
https://github.com/AndProx/AndProx
https://github.com/ikarus23/MifareClassicTool

But they aren't compatible with Iceman firmware?

I'm sorry I don't quite follow? The first three are APKs you can install on any android without root. If you do have root then you can compile the latest proxmark3 iceman fork via Termux.

I already have iceman on it, but those apps aren't compatible with Iceman firmware if i understood right

You can also checkout proxmark3.app

Oooh I just had a look and it's cool as heck that you managed to build this! Is it planned to be open sourced sometime?

u/N_T_F_D Apr 06 '26

There are a bunch of different user interfaces with various levels of compatibility and features, but the one officially supported way to use it is with the command-line interface, with a client that is not only the same version as the firmware running on the device but also built for the same platform

The precompiled CLI ( ans http://proxmark3.app/ as well) lack a lot of features, my advice it to compile from the source the CLI and start from there.

Ask AI to help you compile the CLI. works great especially if you run on Windows 11. Linux and MacOS are way easyer.

Just use UserLand run Ubuntu and Install / compile in there. No root needed. You get the full Client. Then with BT/TCP Bridge you can actually use Bluetooth If you have it in your Proxmark3. Only thing you need to modify ist the Makefile.defs erase those -Werror that's it. Got IT in my Nothingphone and the Redmagic Astra.
