Flipper Zero – Portable Multi-Tool Device for Geeks
- cassidoo 4y agoI got one of these on the Kickstarter and for building key fobs and garage doors, it's been awesome. There's definitely room for growth but I'm happy with it so far!
- robk 4y agoThis looks useful, I just ordered one.
- stewx 4y agoWow, seems like a hacking Swiss army knife. Very cool, if it works as well as advertised.
- mrbuttons454 4y agoAnyone else having issues ordering? Apple Pay fails, and manual checkout says it can't be shipped to my address. It's a normal US residential address. Edit: According to their forums, "There are no US region (R02) flippers in stock at the moment." https://forum.flipperzero.one/t/unable-to-place-order/4251/4 https://forum.flipperzero.one/t/unable-to-place-order/4251/4
- zabi_rauf 4y agoGot the same issue
- SulphurSmell 4y agoCanada,ditto.
- brianlweiner 4y agoURL is blocked by my company VPN as being in the Russian federation
- geoffeg 4y agoI just tried to order the Wifi devboard and got a similar response (I live in the US). I ordered the actual Flipper Zero a few weeks ago but forgot to order the accessories. I hope I can still get them at some point.
- sschueller 4y agoI'm still waiting for my Kickstarter version (suposideley by July 26th) and as one of the first few backers I would hope I receive mine before others can just go buy one... Yes I live in Switzerland but it's not at the edge or the world. Most have received theirs already but Swiss people had to wait a while...
- theshrike79 4y agoYep, still waiting for mine too. Got the delivery code a good three weeks ago, no movement after that. I've waited for 2.5 years, so what's a few weeks more =)
- nibbleshifter 4y agoAlso in Europe area, still waiting. I think its with the notoriously slow last mile carrier that never updates tracking, so maybe next week or two...
- Simon_O_Rourke 4y agoAhhh, good to know, friends of mine been waiting for them despite being a local courier tracking number
- turtleman1338 4y agoSame here, I have my tracking number for 3 weeks but no activity so far
- nibbleshifter 4y agoIf its in the EU/EEA it's probably stuck in Amsterdam, there's enormous logistic issues happening around/in schipol for the past while.
- grapescheesee 4y agoI received mine a several weeks ago. They have been doing great work with logistics and covid setbacks. Hope you get it soon.
- 0xCMP 4y agoI did a pre-order for 2 successfully about 2 weeks ago.
- site-packages1 4y agoCurrently they don't list USA as a place with availability. From the shop page: Shipping in August 2022. Currently available only for: Andorra, Austria, Belarus, Belgium, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, French Polynesia, Germany, Greece, Vatican City, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Moldova, Netherlands, North Macedonia, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, United Kingdom
- felixnm 4y agoCan anyone provide examples on how to use this? The FAQ and Blog have a ton of info on what it is and how to get it, but I don't see anything on why.
- judge2020 4y agoThis front page seems to include a lot of info - it had a ‘Sub-1 GHz Transceiver’, then it has ‘125kHz RFID’: > Low-frequency proximity cardsThis type of card is widely used in old access control systems around the world. It's pretty dumb, stores only an N-byte ID and has no authentication mechanism, allowing it to be read, cloned and emulated by anyone. A 125 kHz antenna is located on the bottom of Flipper — it can read EM-4100 and HID Prox cards, save them to memory to emulate later. And > Flipper Zero has a built-in NFC module (13.56 MHz). Along with the 125kHz module, it turns Flipper into an ultimate RFID device operating in both Low Frequency (LF) and High Frequency (HF) ranges. The NFC module supports all the major standards, such as NXP Mifare.
- captn3m0 4y agoI saw this 24 minute exhaustive review before ordering one last week: https://youtu.be/1qp78fiDD5M https://youtu.be/1qp78fiDD5M
- fareesh 4y agoyikes that guy has sub dermal implants - is this common in your country?
- capableweb 4y agoWhy "yikes"? I don't think that's common anywhere, but the intersection between "hardware hackers who uses Flipper Zero" and "people with subdermal implants" is probably bigger than the intersection of "people not being hardware hackers" and "people with subdermal implants"
- micromacrofoot 4y agoIt's not common in any country, it's a fringe biohacker kind of thing. There's a small group in the US that does this kind of thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grindhouse_Wetware https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grindhouse_Wetware
- psanford 4y agoI just got mine a couple of days ago. I'm really impressed with how well its built and how polished the software is. It is much more polished than any other similar (useful!) hacking/debugging hobbyist devices I've bought. Its clear a lot of thought and care has gone into it.
- hexmiles 4y agoJust received mine (today). What is also amazing is the community, there are already custom firmware, extension and guides You can find a list here: https://github.com/djsime1/awesome-flipperzero https://github.com/djsime1/awesome-flipperzero
- jdelman 4y agoWould something like this be a good way for a beginner to get into hardware hacking, or is it more for intermediate-advanced level hackers?
- edm0nd 4y agoI would say yes! It's great for beginners as it has a huge and friendly community behind it and you can easily work your way up from beginner to more intermediate/advanced.
- _kbh_ 4y agoDepends what your trying to do with it to be honest. If you just wanna use the i2c/spi/uart stuff you can probably handle it. If you can plug some cables in, at worst soldering cables or headers to a board and can find the pins/pads themselves you’ll be fine. At worst if you wanna try it out without spending so much money you can try out the bus pirate from dangerous prototypes it’s only ~27. http://dangerousprototypes.com/docs/Bus_Pirate http://dangerousprototypes.com/docs/Bus_Pirate
- shadowpho 4y agoFlipper zero is more aimed at wireless hacking. Which is very cool, it's a fairly unexplored area of hacking (due to traditionally high barrier of entry), but is a subset of "hardware hacking". For general hardware hacking I'd get a pirate bus ($30), and a saelae logic clone (cheap). Maybe a nice cheap oscilloscope (but they go for $300+), but logic clone can get you mostly there.
- syntaxing 4y agoWould this allow me to reverse engineer Bluetooth packets? I’ve been wanting to for some stuff I want to tie into home assistant.
- cschmittiey 4y agoI bought one hoping the same thing - I got it a couole days ago and it seems like that’s not implemented (or maybe possible? Not sure).
- syntaxing 4y agoHmm that’s a shame, I would definitely jump on board if it was possible to do so.
- _kbh_ 4y agoYou may be able to do this with the Ubertooth One but I don’t think it supports all Bluetooth versions so double check first https://greatscottgadgets.com/ubertoothone/ https://greatscottgadgets.com/ubertoothone/
- bahmboo 4y agoUse an Android phone with Bluetooth snoop logging turned on and then use wireshark to look at the BLE packets.
- stjohnswarts 4y agoprobably not. Bluetooth is encrypted so unless you have NSA level resources or the password/secrets involved you'll be out of luck.
- tremarley 4y agoPopular security researchers have claimed that the Flipper Zero website is a honeypot site.
- evilbob93 4y agoWhen I tried to go to the link on this post today, my browser gave me a "NET::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID" warning. I have used it successfully in the past to place and receive three different orders of flippers and accessories.
- mrHedgehog 4y agoDo you have any proof for that? That's a big claim to make without any proof.
- jzig 4y agoWell they did a really good job then, because the physical product in my hands is well made and functional.
- SkyMarshal 4y agoHow do you have a physical product when they’re only taking pre-orders?
- wombat-man 4y agoI have one too. I think they are taking preorders and engaging their contract manufacturers when it makes sense. Took at least a month to actually get to me.
- jzig 4y agoThey did a kickstarter two years ago just before the microchip shortage. They posted frequent blog updates about their process on how to continue manufacturing while adapting to the shortage and swapping out components when available. Shipping to all countries just started a couple months ago.
- ixtli 4y ago
- Sin2x 4y agoThey definitely should add Tamagochi functionality to that!
- judge2020 4y agohttps://reddit.com/r/flipperzero/comments/thzia7/really_enjoying_my_flipper_cute_little_dolphin/ https://reddit.com/r/flipperzero/comments/thzia7/really_enjo...
- ciguy 4y agoJust wasted 20 minutes trying to figure out how to order. It kept saying no shipping rates found for my address. Turns out they aren't allowing US orders at the moment but they don't actually say that on the website you just get a cryptic shipping rates message. Not the greatest experience.
- capableweb 4y agoAs someone who just ordered one to the EU, you people in the US finally get a taste of your own medicine :) I can't even recount how many times I've wanted to order something, and not until the final step before doing the payment they put up a "Sorry, we only accept orders within the US & Canada".
- deusum 4y agoWanna create a parcel bouncing service? One address here, one over there, charge for shipping and handling
- deusum 4y agoWe'd get a bulk discount on shipping sending containers of goods. But the sorting and re shipping sounds like Amazon level logistics
- arwineap 4y agoWe will be a success if we have that scale of problems :)
- dylan604 4y agoUntil the Flipper people realize that a crap ton of their devices are being shipped to the exact same EU address
- Cockbrand 4y agoI'd like to order one as well (EU, too), but I'm a bit repelled by the $35 tax on top of the price. Did you pay the same tax? Did you research whether you'll have to pay customs fees as well?
- annoyingnoob 4y agoSuper interesting device and I'm ordering one. I found it interesting that their Careers/Jobs page is in Cyrillic. Flipper Devices is not looking for me. https://www.flipperdevices.com/jobs https://www.flipperdevices.com/jobs
- skjoldr 4y agoThe main office is still in Moscow.
- polio 4y agoWhat's the legality of something like this?
- 0xTJ 4y agoThe radio side of things is very locked-down, you can only transmit in the bands allowed by the region for which it's sold.
- capableweb 4y agocough https://github.com/Eng1n33r/flipperzero-firmware https://github.com/Eng1n33r/flipperzero-firmware cough
- kstrauser 4y agoI'm glad that's hackable. I have an extra class ham radio license and can play with some additional frequencies, and want to at least have the option to enable them.
- kris99999 4y agoI've been rather curious as to what the license would legally allow one to do with this. Should this end up applying for some of the capable but disabled frequencies? Context: I have a flipper zero and have been thinking about testing for amateur radio licenses.
- kstrauser 4y agoI'm not sure, but a big part of the reason for having amateur radio licenses is for experimentation and learning. I have no idea what I'd actually do with those frequencies yet.
- r2_pilot 4y agoAs sold, completely legal.
- 4y ago
- modeless 4y agoIs there any way to get notified when they are in stock for US shipment?
- pjbeam 4y agoI just emailed support asking about this, will post here the response when I get it. Update: Flipper says they'll be back in stock for US, Canada, and Australia in September but did not provide a mechanism for getting alerted when this happens.
- stjohnswarts 4y agoi woudl guess one could sign up for the blog updates. they seem to post that sort of info there. https://blog.flipperzero.one/ https://blog.flipperzero.one/
- walls 4y agoThey post announcements on their Discord when the shop updates.
- modeless 4y agoUgh, not another Discord to monitor.
- _joel 4y agoMine arrived this week :) No idea how to use it yet though
- enriquto 4y agoBut does it exist? The website is written in the future tense here and there.
- r2_pilot 4y agoI've had one since April. The company, while established in the US, consists of many people who use English as a second language, and who have been under considerable difficulties with being a hardware startup servicing the world market during a pandemic.
- grishka 4y agoBacked it on Kickstarter a while ago. Still waiting for mine.
- rdl 4y agoI have one (from a few weeks ago) but haven't figured out a use for it yet (but also haven't had time to really explore).
- Anunayj 4y agoI wonder, is this device powerful enough to process music audio? It'll make for a great handheld music player if you ask me :P
- wnevets 4y agoI have a passing interest in wireless hacking but I have no idea if I have the skillset to make any use of it. How useful is this for someone with zero pen testing and/or wireless experience? I'm curious to know what it would take to hack my garage door or key fob for my car
- sitzkrieg 4y agoi have developed firmware for a few ism band products and basically had to create a few scrappy one off tools for testing and debugging. something like this ready to go is totally killer to have from a rf software standpoint too. but yea, rf is everywhere. key fobs. in your tires for tpms, garage doors, crappy bluetooth products whatever. i could see this being useful in many cases
- peddling-brink 4y agoOut of the box it supports limited raw rf capture and replay. Your garage door (probably) and your car key fob use rolling codes which change each time the button is pressed. This is not supported, and likely won’t be in the official firmware. I’ve used mine to make copies of all rf and ir remotes in my home. Fans, tv, bidet, AC, etc.
- Aspos 4y agoTIL some bidets can be controlled remotely. I feel like an ape.
- darkwater 4y agoI would guess that with a couple of Flipper Zeros you could easily implement keyfobs/BT relay attacks?
- tantalor 4y agoWhy would you need "a couple"?
- jackson1442 4y agoOne for capture and one for replay so you can do it from afar, I assume.
- darkwater 4y agoExactly, BT range is not that great although probably with one you can do something already
- evilbob93 4y agoI ordered a second one when I found out that there was already some code written for some a SubGhz radio intercom. Currently only available at the command line interface (yes, you can ssh to it while connected via usb) but shouldn't be too difficult to build some kind of interface for it. As I was writing this, it occurs to me that you could might be able to capture a bluetooth signal with one, sent it via radio to another that might not be in line of sight, then retransmit from another. The limit on what you're thinking is that the devices inside this are NOT the latest and greatest.
- planb 4y agoFinally a kickstarter i backed that keeps up to the promises. Got mine last week and it does everything that was promised and keeps constantly being improved.
- stjohnswarts 4y agoI wonder why they're only selling in Europe? Has shipping to the USA from Europe become a pain and not worth it?
- pnw 4y agoLikely because the company is Russian.
- mschuster91 4y agoThey're shipping from Hongkong per their FAQ [1], and are incorporated from the US [2] [1] https://flipperzero.one/faq https://flipperzero.one/faq [2] https://www.flipperdevices.com/ https://www.flipperdevices.com/
- pnw 4y agoI can't load either of their sites because our network blocks all Russian IPs. LinkedIn indicates 15 of their 16 employees are based in Russia.
- lstodd 4y ago> I can't load either of their sites because our network blocks all Russian IPs. You aren't in control of your own net access? > LinkedIn indicates 15 of their 16 employees are based in Russia. What difference does it make? According to Linkedin I live in Falklands, that doesn't mean anything. src: personally know the lead guy.
- turtleman1338 4y agoThey already sold to USA, but the devices for USA are different than EU because of some regulations and they are out of stock atm
- ajsnigrutin 4y agoPSA: the main benefit of this s the ease of use, due to a lcd display, buttons and software support. If you're familiar with arduino/esp* programming, you can get the components (eg. esp32, cc1101, nfc reader, and infrared transciever) for a lot cheaper on aliexpress or your local reseller, and all of those things are in stock. (or in other words, if you're one of those people who buy stuff like this, play with it for 2 minutes and then put it in a drawer, and now you're in the middle of thinking about how you could open your neighbours garage to mess with them... well, you can do it chaper)
- babypuncher 4y ago"Usability" of software/hardware is often the biggest barrier for people looking to learn these kinds of skills. I applaud their effort, I would love to see more development and hacking tools take this approach.
- ValdikSS 4y ago+ If it wasn't OllyDBG, I would never have understood how a computer works.
- Aspos 4y agoCertainly you can spend time reading datashets, ordering components on aliexpress, soldering them together, going back to square 1 every time you burn something, etc. Alternatively, you can pay a tad more and get everything in a single device with a nice interface. This device lowers the entry barrier into hardware for software people.
- vineyardmike 4y agoAND you can support small enterprises of people who did take the time to make something work well for you to hack around with. We need MORE flipper zero type projects!
- soperj 4y ago
- OnionBlender 4y agoHow do you write software for it? Are there apps you can write or do you have to modify the firmware?
- happimess 4y agoThe firmware is open source, and the manufacturer provides a really smooth desktop app for managing different versions.
- evilbob93 4y agoThe source is written in C. The provide a docker container that lets you simply download the repo, make changes, compile and then load to your flipper. I hadn't actually written an original line of C code since the 1980s. After a couple evenings of following one of the tutorials, I was able to create some new functionality to a button that currently doesn't do anything. At least one person on the Discord (Flipper Devices, I think) watches when someone mentions how they think it would be cool to make changes to the firmware, When that happens, they upload a PDF of the K&R book "The C Programming Language" to the chat.
- JaggerFoo 4y agoIs this the same device I saw in reports about nerds trolling Tesla owners by opening their charging ports?
- bl4ckneon 4y agoYep, there are some videos of people using it to open the charging ports. I found the wireless "commands" (or whatever the correct terminology for it is) on github a while back before I received mine, but haven't gotten around to testing it out on local teslas here
- jsjohnst 4y agoCan confirm, it works. I’ve tried it myself directly.
- A_No_Name_Mouse 4y agoJust got mine a few days ago (EU based). Well built, works as promised. But I find that it mostly works for simple things like controlling lights, tv etc. Most interesting targets use proper encryption (mifare classic for example) so I had no luck accessing my company badge. Mifare Desire data cannot be read properly at the moment it seems, but I'm sure that will be fixed. Fun little tool, will probably end up in a drawer soon.
- _joel 4y agoI've been reading my bank cards with the 'unleashed' firmware, not tried a replay yet and it lists Mifare DESFire in the special read actions (not tried, not hw to test)
- sm4rk0 4y agoYou can do that with an NFC-equipped Android phone and this app: https://github.com/johnzweng/bankomatinfos https://github.com/johnzweng/bankomatinfos It's also available on F-Droid: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/at.zweng.bankomatinfos2/ https://f-droid.org/en/packages/at.zweng.bankomatinfos2/
- KennyBlanken 4y agoMifare Classic is anything but "proper" encryption, with numerous vulnerabilities. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIFARE#MIFARE_Classic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIFARE#MIFARE_Classic
- kweks 4y agoMIFARE Classic support is quite good : the device will search through its (somewhat exhaustive) list of known keys, to attempt to unlock your badge. If keys aren't found, you can perform a "Reader Attack" - take the nonces from the log during a sniffed authenticated exchange, place them in a MF32Key tool (there are online versions as well) - and this will calculate the key. The device doesn't have enough computational power to crack on board (for that you need a Proxmark / iCopy-X) - but the team has roadmapped a tethered mode for performing these cracks.
- mvdwoord 4y agoI have just received mine (kickstarter backer, EU based) and am impressed by the build quality. I still need to play with alternative firmware etc and found a very naive cloning of my access badge did not work, most likely due to some additional security in place. Had to check though after I picked up an SD card on my way to the office. Curious to see what uses I can find for this, most likely it will end up in a drawer sooner rather than later, but I can see this be very useful on holidays ;)
- Justin_K 4y agoIs it me or are the comments all complete spam? The top three all say the same thing, roughly, "well built / good build quality / impressed with build, etc".
- _joel 4y agoNo, just very happy hacker backers. I've been messing with mine for the past few hours now and love it.
- splitrocket 4y agoCheck my karma: It's not spam. It really is really well built. Should be: took them years to get it built, I bought into their kickstarter early. That said, I learned huge amounts about building hardware from their engineering blog, strongly recommend it.
- deleted 4y ago[deleted]
- icanhackit 4y agoTheir engineering/status update bogs were really interesting. Particularly injection mold issues and RFID/NFC standards. And I agree, the build quality is really nice - just wish they sold the screen protector during the kickstarter - I have the silicon protector and wifi dev board but my LCD screen is scuffed from carrying it around in my pocket.
- r2_pilot 4y agoI have had one since around April, and the hardware quality is good. Their blog also shows where they had to change processes because their QA caught things like the header plastic warping and is a good source of how to bring a product to market in the middle of a pandemic. I do feel like their software quality, while functional, could stand some polish, but it's fine. I'm currently working on making an add-on board for its gpio pins.
- site-packages1 4y agoI have a couple friends with them and ordered mine about a month ago, should be delivered any day. I've only heard good things about this device, I really don't think it's spam.
- datavirtue 4y agoNever seen such spam on HN. Thought we had that whipped.
- RainaRelanah 4y agoI'm guessing this thing wouldn't work for emulating FeliCa cards? e: it can read but can't yet emulate, given how niche it is outside of JP I doubt it'll ever support it.
- NovemberWhiskey 4y agoYeah I tried it with a pile of transit cards accumulated over the years from various places (Oyster, Octopus, Pasmo, Suica, Opal, Icoca, SmartLink, probably some others) and it was able to identify the Japanese cards but not do much more with the firmware I had.
- ComputerCat 4y agoOhhh neat! Website looks nice!
- mschuster91 4y agoWonder how hard it would be to pair it with two 1 GBit/s ethernet controllers, high speed storage and an FPGA with an embedded SoC. Think of something like "embed it between two network devices and mirror their traffic through a wifi AP". Bought it anyway in the hope of someone more talented than me manages to make an expansion board :D
- causi 4y agoI like this. We need more ultra-mobile electronics tools. I'm waiting for the day the Pokit Meter can handle mains voltage.
- victor- 4y agoamazing tool. if you have any tools in the shop with radio-remote (like lights, or a vacuum) - this tool can make you an evil king of a haunted space. but don't do that tho.
- neilv 4y agoFor those of us who crowdfunded this a couple years ago (when it was a no-brainer muti-tool for the startup I was in at the time, dealing with fancy NFC/RFID/etc.), but don't have hobby time to play with it... where's the best place to sell it, and feel like a winner? eBay?
- schizo89 4y agoI'm hyped to see them in retail chains
- aaaaaaaaaaab 4y agoCan’t wait to use mine on an airplane! They have all sorts of interesting radio communication going on!
- jasonladuke0311 4y agoyou might get a bonus all-expenses-paid vacation!
- libraryatnight 4y agoSuper cool, hope it comes to the USA soon :(
- charles_f 4y agoI love how movies show hacking devices as super serious futuristic goggles the open 6 different terminals that patch you through sockets on satellites, but the best thing in real life is a dolphin tamagotchi.
- bitwize 4y agoWhich in turn may be a reference to the time when a movie showed an actual dolphin as a hacking device: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=F7OM59U4-z0 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=F7OM59U4-z0
- addingnumbers 4y agoIt's a reference to the story that inspired the movie. > The prototype of our character is the cyborg dolphin Jones from the story "Johnny Mnemonic" by William Gibson.
- pluc 4y agoIt was either a dolphin or Keanu Reeves... Seriously Keanu Reeves ins't a bad choice for a technological automaton representation, being Johnny Mnemonic and Neo and all. Though I guess dolphins in general are much more conciliatory on IPs, trademark and copyrights issues. We need to put Keanu Reeves in the public domain!
- evilbob93 4y agoYou could make the argument that it's further a reference back to "Day of the Dolphin" https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069946 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069946
- climb_stealth 4y agoHas anyone come across guides on how to use it? Just simple things like copying a garage opener. I tried it a few times and couldn't work it out. I think It looks like I got it to capture something, but then nothing happens when I send it again. Makes me feel a bit dumb and haven't touched it since.
- evilbob93 4y agoIf you want to start writing code, https://flipper.atmanos.com/docs/overview/intro https://flipper.atmanos.com/docs/overview/intro worked really well for me. If this was the free sample on the kindle store, I'd buy the rest of the book. I encourage you go to this young man's main page and buy him a coffee (not me nor anyone I know, apparently I was the first person to actually use that button)
- evilbob93 4y agoSorry, I answered the wrong question. Garage Door openers aren't as easy as they sound. Try the infrared remotes first, you'll have better likelihood of doing something useful in a few minutes.
- Eupraxias 4y agoThis device is seducing me to learn new skills that I wish I already had so I could justify submission to the seduction - a familiar, odd loop. Do want!
- turtleman1338 4y agoYou can actually buy a device from an official reseller with same day shipping depending on your location: https://lab401.com/products/flipper-zero https://lab401.com/products/flipper-zero
- Sentino 4y agoWay to 'toyie'. Looks weird, spends tons of time to promote the dolphin angle and the use cases are all shuffled together.
- vxNsr 4y agoOnly thing I’d care about is if it could operate like the loop card wallet thing that Samsung bought and then killed. Applepay is great but still isn’t accepted at Walmart and Krogers owned stores (among others) would love to have a little device like this that holds all my cards.
- tylergetsay 4y agoThey didnt kill it, they rolled it into Samsung Pay
- moondev 4y agoIs it fair to say this would allow you to clone apartment fobs, like the service this site provides https://clonemykey.com/ https://clonemykey.com/
- evilbob93 4y agoIt depends on the fob. I didn't get it to read mine. That said, there was a post on Reddit of a EMT driver who used theirs to clone dozens of remotes that the ambulances need to open the gate to bring in a patient.
- tfrutuoso 4y agowaiting on mine for about... two years now. Hope it comes soon
- deleted 4y ago[deleted]
- fareesh 4y agoUnfortunate that they don't ship to India
- madmod 4y agoGot mine about a month ago and love it! The unleashed firmware is easy to install and you can get some De Bruijn sequence files for messing with 443Mhz garages and gates like the old OpenSesame by Sammy Kamkar. I can’t wait to see what plugins people will make for it!
- technick 4y agoCool piece of hardware, however their software TX lock is bullshit. They didn't claim development platform exemption with the fcc like with a hackrf, ettus, etc. Users are forced to use custom firmware to unlock the full potential of the hardware. The support person astra on their web forums goes around telling people its illegal to discuss things involving TX'ing and capturing rolling codes of a keyfob. I can't tell if it's plain stupidity or gas lighting...
- jiggunjer 4y agoTheir original firmware is open source? Or is custom firmware a hassle?
- kweks 4y agoEverything is open source. For the GP, there are unrestricted FW releases as well.
- nibbleshifter 4y agoIts liability avoidance.
- suction 4y agoSo this is a device for the Mr Robot crowd as I suspected.
- efitz 4y agoI love my flipper zero; I’ve been using it to investigate NFC doodads. I participated in the crowdfunding campaign and I must say it was one of the best run campaigns ever; the team was super transparent and took a lot of time communicating all the behind-the-scenes of developing the product; their updates were very interesting. Can’t wait to see what they do next.
- andrew-jack 4y agoAs an aside, I'm curious about wireless hacking but don't know whether or not I possess the necessary expertise. Can someone with no prior knowledge of pen testing or wireless networks benefit from this?
- ri0t 4y agoYes. But you'll have to learn a bit or two to make use of the more advanced stuff. It is indeed a great learning tool, as it offers almost everything you need to delve in. There's good lectures out there, explaining the things you might not yet know and most of it is fun stuff to learn. Very much worth your time & effort. Hope you're fine with some advanced math concepts, though!

- taldo 4y agoI'd say it's easier to start with an SDR receiver and passively listening to stuff. Figuring out remote control protocols and whatnot is relatively easy with those cheap tools. If you still enjoy it after playing with that, then jump to RX+TX tools like this, or a HackRF, or others, depending on what you want to hack.
- arminsergiony 4y agoAs a Kickstarter backer residing in Europe, I can say that the quality of the product has exceeded my expectations. In the meantime, I've been experimenting with different versions of the firmware and discovered that an attempt to clone my access badge did not succeed, most likely because of the additional security measures in place. The SD card I bought on my way to work necessitated a double-check.
- zoomablemind 4y agoI guess, should you stop feeding it a steady stream of keys, signals, and flashes, it ... dies due to lack of care, just as a tamagotchi :( With this number of radios, does it need to be FCC certified? As a side note, in some of the promo images, the battery gauge is at 52% (or 73%), yet its icon shows a full battery... I guess it's fixed in the real implementation.

- markus_zhang 4y agoI wonder what does it take to break military grade radio such as F-5000 used by the Germans in late 80s/early 90s.

- suction 4y agoKatakana lettering, pixel art, retro-design...is this thing aimed at the "We're anonymous" - "Mr Robot" - "Jack Rhysider" l33t HAx0r type of "hacker"? Or is there actually anything clever about it besides the design?
