#### USB device access in WSL2 (tty permissions)
When you attach the Proxmark3 to WSL2 via `usbipd`, the Linux device node (for example `/dev/ttyACM0`) is created inside the WSL distro. That device is usually owned by `root:dialout` and is only readable/writable by `root` and members of the `dialout` group.
If you are seeing `Could not find Proxmark3 on /dev/ttyACM0`, it usually means your user doesn't have permission to open the serial device.
Fix:
```bash
# add your user to the dialout group (this is persistent)
sudo usermod -aG dialout $USER
# apply the new group membership in the current shell (no restart)
newgrp dialout
# verify the changes:
id # should show 'dialout' in the groups list
ls -l /dev/ttyACM* # device should be group 'dialout' and group-writable
```
## Verify Device Exists
