Despite its toy-like looks, this pocket-friendly multitool can be used for all kinds of hacking and penetration testing.
Think of it as a hacker Swiss army knife that you might buy for less than $200.
Here are some of things you might do with a Flipper Zero, some more ill-advised than others.
Is the Flipper Zero legal?
How does a Flipper Zero work?
Its all about how you use it.
What can you do with a Flipper Zero?
Listen in on walkie-talkie conversations
Flipper Zero lets you decode 89 sub-GHz radio protocols.
These are unlicensed radio frequencies that anyone can use, so they’re used for many walkie-talkies.
There’s no mic, so you might’t talk back.
Just hold it near where the RFID chip is inserted for a few seconds and bamyour pets number.
It cannot locate a lost pet, but neither can any scanner.
Read your credit card information
A Flipper Zero can read credit cards.
Crash smartphones
you might use a Flipper Zero to crash nearbyAndroidsby flooding them with Bluetooth messages.
you could stillsendthe requests, but it won’t cause the target to shut down.
Open garage doors or security gates
This one is iffy.
Some older garage doors and security gates can be opened with a machine like this.
Clone your Nintendo Amiibos
Nintendos Amiibos are basically RFID chips surrounded by figurines.
It is, though, a tool for checking out all the invisible fields around you.
So here are some evil things the Flippercantdoat least right out of the box.
Keyless entry cars open when the fob sends a radio signal to a receiver in the car.
So you might beable to use it one time, but thats it.
Still, setting up a single-use car door opening is an easy way to impress your friends.
(There maybe exceptions, however.)
But then why would you need the Flipper?
Is the Flipper Zero evil?
The Flipper Zero is not evil.
If anything, for evil hacking, its overrated.
In other words: Its just a tool.
The evil comes from how you use it.
