Proxmark3 @ discord
Users of this forum, please be aware that information stored on this site is not private.
Proxmark3 is already a few years old and the feeling I got when researching the subject
is that the software cannot really be improved (due to hardware limitation ?)
Is it sill maintained and viable ? Is there a Proxmark4 planed ?
Also what about all the arduino frenzy ? Is it possible to make an arduino based Proxmark
simpler and cheaper ?
Sorry if those are dump questions I don't know much about electronics.

Hardware have some limits - slow USB 1.0, not so fast ARM CPU(AT91SAM), no external memory.
Is it sill maintained and viable ?
Yes, see official SVN.
Is there a Proxmark4 planed ?
I dunno, but I know 2 mods: PM3LCD and Proxmark3 from nullspace labs aka NSL.
Is it possible to make an arduino based Proxmark simpler and cheaper ?
I don't think so because ardunio have "hardware limitations" like slow 16mhz CPU.

Thank you for your precise answer Vivat.
From the NSL website I see a "Prox Shield - Arduino Hosted Proxmark" project. Don't know what this is.
Also I can find their mod. Isn't their mod the same thing than the PM3LCD ?
I've checked the SVN before but from what I understood it seemed that the code had reach kind of a dead end
and need to be redesigned entirely to go further but I don't know if this is because the code got too messy or due
to hardware limitation (not enough memory for example)

Well, they have started their own NSL_PM4, see their SVN. There is also PM3LCD ver. 1.7 by d18c7db. But the most stable and reach-feature device is original PM3 by J. Westhues.
The code consists of main 3 parts: client(PC) on C, ARM(C) and FPGA(Verilog). So you must have good coding skills to make complex sollution...
