Flipper Zero: Truth or Hype?

Flipper Zero is the ultimate geek swiss army knife. It packs more sensors than I ever thought possible, and does it while being super cute! Bluetooh LE, Sub-ghz, NFC, RFID, Infrared, iButton, Rubber Ducky (BadUSB), 125hz RF, and a powerful controller to boot, with custom software.

This thing is a beast. And yet, I still feel that some of the properties assigned to it are overrated.

So, bottom line, is the Flipper Zero the ultimate hacking device? Is it all true, or is some of it just pumping the gadget?

Can the Flipper steal credit cards? Copy car keys? Let's find out!

would be great to have a video where you take each actual use case in your own daily life and explain/ present it!! you mentioned a bunch of stuff that you do, and it sounds like you very creatively integrated this device into your routines - I bet a bunch of us would love to get inspiration from it

[shiftednrifted]

you can jam a portion of the spectrum used by the key fob to prevent the car from picking it up, capture the signal on the unblocked portion, and replay the code later. the only issue is if the code has already been received

Just to clarify, they haven't sold 80 million units. The company expected to make around 80 million dollars in 2023. They have actually sold around 500, 000 units.

[zhovner]

80 million devices sold is incorrect, right now we sell less then a 1 million devices.

I got mine just as Amazon banned it too. I got lucky and got it on sale from the website for about $150. I love it.

Thanks for the breakdown, I didn’t know about the 2FA capabilities before. I’m hoping to get one soon

Again that's a maybe. A lot of Volkswagen auto group cars (VW, Skoda, SEAT, Audi, maybe even Porsche and Lambo) are vulnerable as until 2016 they used 4 seed codes for *ALL THEIR MODELS* you just need to know where the car is at on the roll and you can then unlock. They use unencrypted lock/unlock ends to their codes too. I wouldn't call *millions* of cars "very few exceptions"
Haven't seen those 4 seed codes available easily, though I bet they're out there, or you could just buy an ECU and rip it from the memory.

However it's outside the primary F0 userbase ability. Additionally (most) rolling code systems are one way, meaning the car doesn't communicate with the fob, to my understanding at least, they just work off tables of 64, 000 (or more, eg 128k) codes and have a 64 code wiggle room for synchronization, though this does depend.

With a custom software mod, you might be able to do a rolling code flaw.

fun and informative video- thanks for the breakdown! my guesses for the game were:

Challenge #1 : yes?
Challenge #2 : yes.
Challenge #3 : yes for certain cars depending on if rolling codes aren't used?
Challenge #4 : i'd bet that it can do traffic lights in certain places where a hypothetical RF based control unit isn't encrypted well, or maybe it can do it anywhere by triggering the EMS override via IR?
Challenge #5 : probably not unless the algo or encryption method used by keycard manufacturer etc is documented and known?
Challenge #6 : definitely

surprised to know it can offload the computation process on your phone when cracking encryption thats specifically really cool to me

[mosseon]

the fear mongering around flipper zero will only serve to suppress the average person when all the devices to do everything it does is readily available.

[vitiligoandfriends]

Rolling code car key is posible to do just only 1 time. Pozdrav

[tinykloon]

i do believe with some custom firmware you can brute force rolling codes with the flipper

[linusstahl]

i have one and in my opinion it is Worth all hype

[HatsuneMiku-hhcn]

I don’t expect to become a master with it, but are there guides and such to follow so one who isn’t that savvy can learn?

[FrauHaferniehl]

_Nice Video, nice overview about this smart toy Greetings._

[honestlocksmith]

It's only useless to people who don't understand how to use them, or don't have a need.
99% of people who own one understand the concept of record and replay a signal, and that is it.

[RangedShotz]

Bro its called a roll back system, which addresses a few hunderd combinations if u can get them al u can open cars

[FILIPPOZENO]

Hi, could you make an video about how you setupped you flipperzero? I mean with wich firmware, wich others features, etc. PLEASE

[nishali]

Can you use the device as a universal remote control with macros or programmable activities?

[yungblurzz]

what about
1. vending machines
2. claw machines
3. games at like an arcade/ fun place
4. turning off security cameras
