Nikola T. Lab Puts Proxmark3 in Your Pocket with the RFID Scanning, Cracking, and Copying iCopy-X
Designed around the Proxmark3 project, the iCopy-X looks to be a one-stop self-contained multitool for RFID work.
Hong Kong-based Nikola T. Lab has launched a crowdfunding campaign for the iCopy-X, an upgraded version of the iCopy RFID copier offering a range of improvements over its predecessor — including on-device capturing, duplication, sniffing, and simulation.
"iCopy-X is a 'super' automated handheld RFID copier based on Proxmark3," Nikola T. Lab's Jun Wen Low explains. "iCopy-X can read, crack, duplicate, sniff and simulate without the use of a PC. iCopy-X would be the No. 1 tool to have whether you are a locksmith, landlord, property management team, or even security company."
"We need something that is easy to use for all kinds of users. The whole idea is to combine the iCopy + Proxmark3 + PC into one device and make it super easy to use. No complicated steps, just simple operating buttons."
The upgraded device boasts support for reading and on-device cracking of 45 different RFID card standards and copying of 37 of those in once step, in both 13.56MHz high-frequency and 125kHz low-frequency spectra. The device can also simulate cards and sniff RFID traffic, and while it's primarily designed for standalone use can be connected to a host PC for use with any Proxmark3-compatible software.
The company is launching the iCopy-X in three variants: The entry-level iCopy-X has an ABS case and 4GB of flash storage on board; the iCopy-XR offers 8GB of flash storage and introduces U-Disk operation plus broader support for card writing; the top-end iCopy-XS offers 16GB of flash, an ABS and aluminium case, and the broadest card support.
More details are available on the project's Kickstarter campaign page, where rewards start at $175 for the iCopy-X for early bird backers.
