+NOTICE:
+(2014-03-26)
+This is now the official Proxmark repository!
 
-Implemented "hf iclass replay <MAC>" where MAC is 8-char Hexidecimal MAC.
+INTRODUCTION:
 
-Useful to replay a snooped authentication sequence if cc (e-purse) is not correctly updated as per the specification.
-Currently hardset to only read Page 1.

+The proxmark3 is a powerful general purpose RFID tool, the size of a deck
+of cards, designed to snoop, listen and emulate everything from
+Low Frequency (125kHz) to High Frequency (13.56MHz) tags.
+
+This repository contains enough software, logic (for the FPGA), and design
+documentation for the hardware that you could, at least in theory,
+do something useful with a proxmark3.

+
+OBTAINING HARDWARE:
+
+The Proxmark 3 is available for purchase (assembled and tested) from the
+following locations:
+
+   * http://proxmark3.com/
+   * http://www.xfpga.com/
+   * http://radiowar.taobao.com/

+
+Most of the ultra-low-volume contract assemblers could put
+something like this together with a reasonable yield. A run of around
+a dozen units is probably cost-effective. The BOM includes (possibly-
+outdated) component pricing, and everything is available from Digikey
+and the usual distributors.
+
+If you've never assembled a modern circuit board by hand, then this is
+not a good place to start. Some of the components (e.g. the crystals)
+must not be assembled with a soldering iron, and require hot air.
+
+The schematics are included; the component values given are not
+necessarily correct for all situations, but it should be possible to do
+nearly anything you would want with appropriate population options.
+
+The printed circuit board artwork is also available, as Gerbers and an
+Excellon drill file.
