Flipper Zero is a portable multi-tool device designed for pentesters and geeks, inspired by the pwnagotchi project
. It is marketed to "geeks," red team hackers, and pen testers to expose vulnerabilities in digital systems
. The device is small and toy-like, with a robust case, handy buttons, and shape that makes it convenient for everyday usage
. Some of its key features include:
- Radio Frequency (RF) capabilities : Flipper Zero has a built-in module that can read, store, and emulate remote controls, allowing it to receive and send radio frequencies between 300 and 928 MHz
- Access control systems : The device is designed for interaction with various types of access control systems, radio protocols, RFID, near-field communication (NFC), and infrared signals
- General purpose input/output connectors : Flipper Zero has 18 general purpose input/output connectors that connect it to other hardware devices
- USB 2.0 port : It features a USB 2.0 port, type C, to connect with computers
- Multi-band antenna and CC1101 chip : Flipper Zero has an integrated multi-band antenna and a CC1101 chip, making it a powerful transceiver with a range of up to 50 meters
Flipper Zero is primarily designed as a learning tool to make cybersecurity information more accessible and change the way users think of the digital devices around them
. It can be used for various purposes, such as unlocking cars using radio fobs, controlling TVs using infrared, and creating two-factor authentication tokens for websites
. However, it is essential to note that Flipper Zero has the potential to be a security threat in the wrong hands, as it can be used for malicious purposes
