I think that is a forlorn hope. I refer you to the LockPicking Lawyer channel. He shows the inadequacies of locks over and over. Yet the manufacturers continue to produce them, without changes.
@@Bugkiller991 they sometimes do implement changes, but mostly for more expensive models, though i have to admit that here in belgium the last year or 2 most of the locks i encountered that were new from the shop didn't have the same easy vulnerabilities as the same type of lock from before that period. This made me wonder if it was just random bad luck(not every lock produced from a certain model is exactly the same, i've had had locks that i bought more than 1 from the same model at the same time and even though the keys looked alike it was impossible to open one of them while raking whilst the others opened in less than a second with the same method) or if maybe they would've made improvements to it.
I got my flipper zero, quite easily, got shipped in a week. I found a morse code feature which would be great for someone learning cw. We found the music player feature and play some music occasionally. Obviously it sounds horrible but it's fun to mess with. I do have almost all the ir remotes for our multiple TVs programmed. I even went to the club site and showed the club president the cool device, and he liked it. The community behind it is pretty cool with all the codes you can download from internet. It's a fun little toy to have and play around with. I would recommend picking one up if you can.
Been having a blast with my Flipper Zero. The GPIO function exposes some amazing functionality. I have used the Sentry Safe bypass and it works flawlessly. This device has rekindled my interest in hardware/software interfaces. I hooked up an RSP32 and been playing with it. Put Marauder on one for Wifi stuff and now playing with some other possibilities. I have some NRF24 modules coming so I can play with some of the 2.4ghz stuff. These are a lot of fun if you are into that sort of thing. All that being said be sure to use caution with these.

One thing that I find very useful is testing RFID/NFC blockers actually work. Many wallets and card holders advertise that they protect you from being scanned but a device like this allows you to test and confirm it is doing the job. Taking this a bit farther, you can copy all your cards that have RFID/NFC data and leave your wallet at home, use your flipper for replay only when needed, you cannot scan what is not there. On the other hand, this leaves you open to physical theft since the flipper will have all your data. Pick your poison.

I've got one. Lovely little gadget. Unfortunately, there's been changes in the firmware and functionality between the white and black, some features have been removed. Something I would like to see is some sort of security on these things, as in a PIN number or Bluetooth connection to a recognised device to unlock it. If you've got a lot of info stored on it and it gets lost/stolen, the data on it useless without it being unlocked.
@10:50 ... there is still a lot of garage doors, access doors, etc. with fix code ... therefore device like this is handy to demonstrate it and prove that upgrade to rolling code system is reasonable request.
I used to install door access control systems where the rf was encrypted to stop replay attacks but so many systems are still not encrypted or do not have rolling codes. I was looking at a Hack RF to play with but don't want to get caught out in the field testing with it. That Flipper looks more portable and still can do many things but at a scalped $1k, I'd rather get my first HF radio.📻👍🤠
Really it should have perhaps been a screenless device that you wear or hide somewhere and control remotely from your phone. Nobody bats an eye at a person intensely staring at their newspaper right?
@@SianaGearz Good news then...you CAN use the phone app to remote control the device. Still has a screen on the device itself of course but still makes for new fun options :)

Just ordered the flipper zero, i think it is a great tool as you say to learn more about tech and that is always a benefit in a constant evolving tech world we live in. I would say use common sense and this will be a great tool in life. I dont see any reason for this being illegal since there is thousands of things out on the electronics market that can do all of the things the flipper does.
I should get myself one for the nostalgia I have a casio watch that has a universal tv remote, it doesn't work with any tv build after 2005-ish but when I was 13 years old I would start the tv in my classroom any chance I'll get, no one ever told the teachers and it made me popular for an entire week.
My flipperzero shows up tomorrow if USPS is accurate. Looking forward to experimenting around, heck I’ve already recognized I’ll need to familiarize myself with git. This led me into the m5stack/stick line of controllers and now I’m waiting on a couple of those too. -73
They had a tracking number attached to my order in four days. USPS took another 11, but I’ll cut em some slack considering Christmas and the polar tornado HIHI
@@K0DMT I've been given a tracking number already, though it's a basic "warehouse has confirmed shipping" tracking number. Estimated delivery is early January which is good enough for me. It'll give me time to look over some of the programs available for it and learn how they work. I ended up deciding on getting the flipper after playing around with UART, JTAG and SPI on some devices I own, decided I want to check my wireless devices out too. It'll enjoy using it when I get it.
I'm late to this party but I was searching today for somebody who would tell me what this thing is without being a clown and/or hype machine. Thank you.
Got my order in this evening. Didn't know about the flipper one, though I assume it'll be a bit more expensive. Might get flipper one when it comes out if I like the Zero. GPIO makes the zero about as powerful as the ARM cortex chip on it, the flipper one with it's SOC will be able to do a lot of stuff much faster probably.
Can also use the flipper as a POCSAG compatible pager via one of the apps and the default frequency is of course none other than DAPNET (Decentralized Amateur Paging Network). Unfortunately I haven't had much luck with it due to the lack of amateur radio operators using transmitters connected to the dapnet in my area. Personally I use my flipper mostly for infrared and the occasional sub gigahertz.
Saying it's a replay device is vastly underestimating the device's strength. It has a ton of logic and can do things like run scripts, analyze spectra, and many other things. It's not just a "replay" device.
I could see using this to try to ensure the security of my devices. I mean it's scary that they can be used wrong and it makes it more accessible but you can also learn to make things more secure.
I think, Rolling Code will be my next project when I receive my Flipper Zero. it will be a fun addition to my TensorFlow Object/License plate Recognition garage door opener that I build with an old Raspberry Pi 3B and a camera.
I want a straight IR remote I can stick a ssd in to "program" with a text file. That is, where something like the Flipper Zero is doing the harder work of figuring out "what the code is", but some way to turn around and fix a sea of $10 remotes to blast their IR code a little fiercer and do things the original remotes never did. Like crossing home automation and AV control, etc.
Loving my FlipperZero. Got one a few weeks ago. Have made backups for everything in my house that it can interface with. The infrared part is very useful. At work we have many models of TV's in conf rooms in many buildings. Now I can carry them all in one device instead of having to track them all down. Just one aspect that makes this device useful day to day. Very interesting stuff especially once you start playing with the firmware available in the community. As I was typing this, UPS delivered the WiFi dev board so now I have more things to test on it tonight. Love your vids Josh :) 73!
@@the_mariocrafter FYI phones have NFC which is not the same as RFID. NFC is a different frequency than RFID and phones can't work with that. Very similar in how they appear to work but different frequencies and payloads and as such not compatible. As for IR, yeah I happen to have one of those old phones but not useful for just that feature as it doesn't work as a phone on modern carriers. The flipper brings together many different tools into one device. Useful to some but not as much for others.
Lmk if you can disable a router remotely my roomates stream so loudly and I can’t sleep would be nice to disable remotely. I used to unlplug it but they figured it out lol. Might just take the adapter to my room
I bought one for $169 because i have tons of rfid stuff that i want stored on a singular device so its easier for me and i want a universal remote for any tv anytime too. Like a sonic screwdriver lol
I'm a trouble shooter and I think it would be cool to keep all my stuff on one of these to use like keys etc. There is a model of car, mabe more than one, that if the fob dies, there is an RFID chip in the fob that will allow you to start the car by placing the fob up to the start button or somewhere on the dash area etc. that would technically not use a code. It would use the RFID tag in the dash which cannot be rolling because the fobs battery is technically dead. The only way I could see that it is keeping up with the rolling part is if that little boost of electricity that the fob uses from the cars RFID reader magnetic field keeps it is sync. I do not think it does. I grabbed the wrong set of keys one day and was able to start my car with a dead fob that has no battery that has been sitting in a drawer for over a year. So use the flipper to copy the RFID tag INSTEAD of emulating the fob signal. Bam! your driving your car with the flipper. The door unlock signal on the other hand is the part I believe that gets people into trouble with bricking their fobs. Lol
It's a pretty cool device. I got one about a week ago. Updated to the xtreme firmware the other day when it came out. I was delighted to see that you made a vid about it. You should get the wifi Dev board and make a vid. Great video though!
For someone who is interesting in pursuing cyber security, do you think this would be good to use as a learning device? Like say, I was to code my own little hacks, could I use it as a learning experience?
Love this video, but man, I really got mad when I was looking at your shirt while explaining things. Was seeing white dots at the line intersections but they're not there haha
I should have watched this before ordering mine. I work at several apartment complexes and they won't provide me with a gate opener, so I was hoping to use it to make access a little quicker and easier. Oh well.. I guess it could still be used for a little fun...
I've had mine for about 6 month I haven't done nothing with it yet I'm still learning about it at my leisure I paid 300 and something dollars for it. It's brand spanking new still in the box
11:00 but that means that you indeed can get access to someone's car without actually stealing and keeping their key, as long as you get to the car before they do.
There used to be that one called TV be gone is there anything out there that still does operate like that where you can push a button and it will turn off TVs.
Quick question...am I right in thinking that I can't physically walk up to any key fobbed controlled barrier or roller shutter door and open it with a Flipper Zero 🤔
It would depend on the door control. If it is one that utilizes rolling codes, no you cannot open that. If it’s not and you recorded the openers transmitted signal it would open the door. That answer is pertaining to the stock flipper.
Is thus how they broke into my Mazda CX5 ? I came outside one morning and someone had gotten into my vehicle without doing any damage…. I had my keyfob with me and the car is always locked …
I've seen somebody use them to send signals to traffic lights, and using parking garages for free. These things are cool, but I am already seeing the grey area with them being HUGE
I ordered mine for fun stuff nfc emulating messing with new tech can be great also never know when they put a stop to making it so when i get bored format and ebay it
Strongly considered the idea for my garage door. My garage is from the early 90s so likely has no rolling code protection and as of right now we've maxed out the number of keys that can be linked to it. It only accepts 4 keys but we have 5 cars. Because of it I was the unlucky one and need to use the key pad to open it, but my mother feeds animals in our front yard and I don't like the idea of standing there as a dear walks up to me. Being able to mimic one of the keys would be incredibly convenient. The only other thing I'd use it for is as a backup key for a hotel. Going with the family on trips usually means only 2 keys but 4 or 5 people. At the last place I went to they even had a two door entrance so I wouldn't even be able to knock the door to let me back in. Many hotels are switching to NFC so it's a fairly useful idea.
High end cars, with features like lights on as you approach, or other types of features that sense when someone is standing near the vehicle, are impossible to replay. The reason for this is the car checks to see if the person standing next (in the vicinity of about 50 feet really) to it has the "key" or keyfob or not by asking it to roll the code. Any code saved before that point tin time is then made stale. They've been doing this since at least '06 if not earlier. I love the ability to dabble with things in my day to day, and even at work. I implemented most of these things so it's one of those places where the flipper and what it can do is at home legally speaking. Would I give a child this device? Not without oversight. Would I recommend it to any adult? Not without them first getting a firm understanding of where the boundreis of legality lie concerning how to use this device. Other than that, awesome little Tamagotchi!
I think with modification it would be theoretically possible for this device to support rolling code, but I wouldn't recommend it due to just the sheer societal implications of being capable of something like that
Okay I know this video is from AAAGES ago, But I wanted to get people honest review after so much time has passed and I see so many online being resold. Would it be worth me getting one IF I have more than one badge at work and or just use it to mess around with.. would it be worth my time getting one?
For some reason this reminds me of the "cheeseboxes" our generation used to beat Ma Bell and get free long distance phone calls. Fans were called "phone phreaks".
Is the frequency analyzer only a feature available with the unleashed firmware or does it come stock on the flipper? Looking to also see if I can just use this for mine and my wife's remote car starter or if they are also usually rolling codes
I got one to use as a learning tool. It has been fun to mess with so far, the IR has been great! But wouldn’t you know, not a Tesla in site since I got it😂
Will it let you download various signals from the internet to play? I've got this electric fireplace that I lost the remote for years ago, and it would be awesome if I could find something that would be able to function as a replacement. In addition to all the other cool things the Flipper does. I suppose I could also try going to the store and copying the remote signal from one of the floor models and see if that works. I haven't been able to find just the remotes for sale anywhere. As for the IR stuff, LG phones used to be able to do that. I have one that is couple years old that still does. It's great being able to control TVs in waiting rooms or at hotels.
@@imdavidday Whalen. I think we bought it at Menards about 7 or 8 years ago. I've looked for a replacement, but I can't find just the remote for sale anywhere.
i always thought they interessting but i have no real use for it... the bambulab 3d printer uses spools with rfid chips, i was just thinking if it is possible to reprogramm the chips?
Has anyone got it delivered to the uk before, what was the shipping times like? im so close to buying one but theres no delivery times even through ur paying 54 dollars ish for shipping
best ti have a look on the reddit for that sort of stuff, I posted something like yesterday and ive had 2/3 people help and have been in similar situations. delivery takes like 5 days max
It really depends on he frequency and the device that is transmitting. If for example, it doesn't have an antenna, or its very compromised you will need to be in close.
Can you please recommend me a device for a very strong IR trasmittion only? I don't really care about other features of flipper. Looking for something like "Tv b gone" but one that works close to 100% and with MUCH higher range.
So if I lost my parking garage ticket and the front desk will let me go for a bogus ripoff ammount even thou I have been there for one hour only this does not open the gate for me?
I wanted one till i saw the price, instead i got an RTL-SDR for my raspi zero W, i can send and transmit with more flexibility than the flipper, and i have lots of gpio to add a card reader/IR blaster. Sucks the raspis are also overpriced now
Definitely keep the power of one of these devices in check and don’t let it go to your head. Some of the obviously evil/illegal things you could do besides copying RF ID codes is covertly copying credit card data and then playing it back on a merchant point-of-sale to buy stuff on a strangers credit card, depending on the gas station you might be able to Change the gas prices, and at least in the US most utility companies use smart metering and they have a contactor in them that the utility can use to shut off your power if you don’t pay your electric bill which means you can shut off someone’s power with the flipper zero. Or do other things relating to the electric meter like alter readings etc. and avoid attempting to copy or copying stuff on sensitive government things like access codes federal buildings or other restricted areas or you might run afoul of the espionage act.
Also be aware that these things can trip certain brands of arc fault breakers that are found in modern newer homes built since 2004, the same thing happened with certain HF compatible handy talkies. So keep that in mind if you order one and then you notice certain breakers keep tripping when you’re playing around with it

@10:50 ... there is still a lot of garage doors, access doors, etc. with fix code ... therefore device like this is handy to demonstrate it and prove that upgrade to rolling code system is reasonable request.
Great vid hosh! love the way you laid out it's capabilities, legalities, and what it can't do.
Thank you!
I used to install door access control systems where the rf was encrypted to stop replay attacks but so many systems are still not encrypted or do not have rolling codes.
I was looking at a Hack RF to play with but don't want to get caught out in the field testing with it. That Flipper looks more portable and still can do many things but at a scalped $1k, I'd rather get my first HF radio.📻👍🤠
If you watch the page I linked they restock once or twice a month, but sell-out in a day.
@@HamRadioCrashCourse thanks Josh. ;)
Really it should have perhaps been a screenless device that you wear or hide somewhere and control remotely from your phone. Nobody bats an eye at a person intensely staring at their newspaper right?
@@SianaGearz Good news then...you CAN use the phone app to remote control the device. Still has a screen on the device itself of course but still makes for new fun options :)
@@HamRadioCrashCourse is impossible to get it,been following to get one and always they are out of stock,do they have a particular day of month they re-stock?
Just ordered the flipper zero, i think it is a great tool as you say to learn more about tech and that is always a benefit in a constant evolving tech world we live in. I would say use common sense and this will be a great tool in life. I dont see any reason for this being illegal since there is thousands of things out on the electronics market that can do all of the things the flipper does.
I should get myself one for the nostalgia
I have a casio watch that has a universal tv remote, it doesn't work with any tv build after 2005-ish but when I was 13 years old I would start the tv in my classroom any chance I'll get, no one ever told the teachers and it made me popular for an entire week.
Great primer/explanation on the capabilities of this fun device! Having lots of fun with mine.
Glad you enjoyed it!
My flipperzero shows up tomorrow if USPS is accurate. Looking forward to experimenting around, heck I’ve already recognized I’ll need to familiarize myself with git. This led me into the m5stack/stick line of controllers and now I’m waiting on a couple of those too. -73
How long did it take them to ship it out after ordering?
FedEx International customer so hopefully I get mine within 2 weeks.
They had a tracking number attached to my order in four days. USPS took another 11, but I’ll cut em some slack considering Christmas and the polar tornado HIHI
@@K0DMT I've been given a tracking number already, though it's a basic "warehouse has confirmed shipping" tracking number.
Estimated delivery is early January which is good enough for me. It'll give me time to look over some of the programs available for it and learn how they work.
I ended up deciding on getting the flipper after playing around with UART, JTAG and SPI on some devices I own, decided I want to check my wireless devices out too.
It'll enjoy using it when I get it.
I'm late to this party but I was searching today for somebody who would tell me what this thing is without being a clown and/or hype machine. Thank you.
Thanks!
I still have my captain crunch whistle, and my blue box.
OG status!
on the subject of cereal what happened to honey nut clusters
Toneloc is still available on github. Just sayin'. :-D
Got my order in this evening.
Didn't know about the flipper one, though I assume it'll be a bit more expensive. Might get flipper one when it comes out if I like the Zero.
GPIO makes the zero about as powerful as the ARM cortex chip on it, the flipper one with it's SOC will be able to do a lot of stuff much faster probably.
we have a long while till the flipper one comes out tbh
@@bigezy420 Is that even officially confirmed? Or do people just use it as a catch all for "the eventual successor for the zero"?
@@mcbrite Confirmed on the flipper forums.
@@mcbrite yes the flipper one will not be here for a couple more years most likely not until the full potential of the flipper is found
Can also use the flipper as a POCSAG compatible pager via one of the apps and the default frequency is of course none other than DAPNET (Decentralized Amateur
Paging Network). Unfortunately I haven't had much luck with it due to the lack of amateur radio operators using transmitters connected to the dapnet in my area. Personally I use my flipper mostly for infrared and the occasional sub gigahertz.
I need to dip into that. I have a pocsag pager.
Saying it's a replay device is vastly underestimating the device's strength. It has a ton of logic and can do things like run scripts, analyze spectra, and many other things. It's not just a "replay" device.
I could see using this to try to ensure the security of my devices. I mean it's scary that they can be used wrong and it makes it more accessible but you can also learn to make things more secure.
I think, Rolling Code will be my next project when I receive my Flipper Zero. it will be a fun addition to my TensorFlow Object/License plate Recognition garage door opener that I build with an old Raspberry Pi 3B and a camera.
I want a straight IR remote I can stick a ssd in to "program" with a text file.
That is, where something like the Flipper Zero is doing the harder work of figuring out "what the code is", but some way to turn around and fix a sea of $10 remotes to blast their IR code a little fiercer and do things the original remotes never did. Like crossing home automation and AV control, etc.
This device should encourage designers to rethink the equipment they are selling that isn't secure.
Loving my FlipperZero. Got one a few weeks ago. Have made backups for everything in my house that it can interface with. The infrared part is very useful. At work we have many models of TV's in conf rooms in many buildings. Now I can carry them all in one device instead of having to track them all down. Just one aspect that makes this device useful day to day. Very interesting stuff especially once you start playing with the firmware available in the community. As I was typing this, UPS delivered the WiFi dev board so now I have more things to test on it tonight. Love your vids Josh :) 73!
There are older phone models with IR and new Chinese phones with it, and the RFID is also on most phones as well.
@@the_mariocrafter FYI phones have NFC which is not the same as RFID. NFC is a different frequency than RFID and phones can't work with that. Very similar in how they appear to work but different frequencies and payloads and as such not compatible. As for IR, yeah I happen to have one of those old phones but not useful for just that feature as it doesn't work as a phone on modern carriers. The flipper brings together many different tools into one device. Useful to some but not as much for others.
How much does it cost after taxes ?
You can update the firmwire?
Lmk if you can disable a router remotely my roomates stream so loudly and I can’t sleep would be nice to disable remotely. I used to unlplug it but they figured it out lol. Might just take the adapter to my room
I bought one for $169 because i have tons of rfid stuff that i want stored on a singular device so its easier for me and i want a universal remote for any tv anytime too. Like a sonic screwdriver lol
I'm a trouble shooter and I think it would be cool to keep all my stuff on one of these to use like keys etc. There is a model of car, mabe more than one, that if the fob dies, there is an RFID chip in the fob that will allow you to start the car by placing the fob up to the start button or somewhere on the dash area etc. that would technically not use a code. It would use the RFID tag in the dash which cannot be rolling because the fobs battery is technically dead. The only way I could see that it is keeping up with the rolling part is if that little boost of electricity that the fob uses from the cars RFID reader magnetic field keeps it is sync. I do not think it does. I grabbed the wrong set of keys one day and was able to start my car with a dead fob that has no battery that has been sitting in a drawer for over a year. So use the flipper to copy the RFID tag INSTEAD of emulating the fob signal. Bam! your driving your car with the flipper. The door unlock signal on the other hand is the part I believe that gets people into trouble with bricking their fobs. Lol
Why is there a rectangle flashing at the top left corner at 0:44 ?
It’s a monitor and idk. 🤷🏼♀️
I’ve ordered mine yesterday and i think that is the most awesome thing i ever seen,one word opensource 😊MacGiver of nerds

Lol. Well played.
Hi bought one for my delivery packages at the apartments every every useful makes my job 100 times easier!!
id question the legality of just accessing property without being buzzed in, even if you are delivering goods
I’m in school for cyber security and am delving further into the IT world so I picked one up to play with.
It's a pretty cool device. I got one about a week ago. Updated to the xtreme firmware the other day when it came out. I was delighted to see that you made a vid about it. You should get the wifi Dev board and make a vid. Great video though!
I have the dev board. 😅 I’m working on it.
@@HamRadioCrashCourse sweeeet. I got one coming soon. Have fun!
Many of my non-radio friend have one... yet I do not. Hope I can get one at some point though!
For someone who is interesting in pursuing cyber security, do you think this would be good to use as a learning device? Like say, I was to code my own little hacks, could I use it as a learning experience?
Sure. Also the bad usb is cool to script with.
The cool thing about the flipper is that people can make programs for it, give it sometime and someone is going to start a car with it lol
It's rare to find people who still know the real meaning of hacking - good video
Thank you!!
Love this video, but man, I really got mad when I was looking at your shirt while explaining things. Was seeing white dots at the line intersections but they're not there haha
Lol. I have a relative that pulls those pranks. He listens to the Tesla owner and his friend arguing about closing the charge port.😆
I should have watched this before ordering mine. I work at several apartment complexes and they won't provide me with a gate opener, so I was hoping to use it to make access a little quicker and easier. Oh well.. I guess it could still be used for a little fun...
I've had mine for about 6 month I haven't done nothing with it yet I'm still learning about it at my leisure I paid 300 and something dollars for it. It's brand spanking new still in the box
Do you still have the flipper... Would you like to sell it? I'm in Australia
Wonder how easy it would be to modify the flipper zero to read rolling code
11:00 but that means that you indeed can get access to someone's car without actually stealing and keeping their key, as long as you get to the car before they do.
I am a simple man: I see a Final Fantasy VII reference, I click subscribe.
Excelent video, btw!
Didn't even mention that you can play DOOM on it :)
Best universal remote EVER! Not for noobs...
You could use in certain vending machines with the sensors that check the quarter
Nice
There used to be that one called TV be gone is there anything out there that still does operate like that where you can push a button and it will turn off TVs.
Quick question...am I right in thinking that I can't physically walk up to any key fobbed controlled barrier or roller shutter door and open it with a Flipper Zero 🤔
It would depend on the door control. If it is one that utilizes rolling codes, no you cannot open that. If it’s not and you recorded the openers transmitted signal it would open the door. That answer is pertaining to the stock flipper.
"a few screws left over" If I had a nickel........Great vid. Thanks for sharing. Hak5 shout out sucked me in too! I'll be back. Peace out all.
Is thus how they broke into my Mazda CX5 ? I came outside one morning and someone had gotten into my vehicle without doing any damage…. I had my keyfob with me and the car is always locked …
I've seen somebody use them to send signals to traffic lights, and using parking garages for free. These things are cool, but I am already seeing the grey area with them being HUGE
Has any one got there flipper zero from the direct flipper site? If soo how long did it take to receive it
i buy for a few time they just send me a cover . please any bidy can share me the link where i can flipper zero?
I ordered mine for fun stuff nfc emulating messing with new tech can be great also never know when they put a stop to making it so when i get bored format and ebay it
I got one! I like the Flipper. The IR helps me most too, love that part!
Strongly considered the idea for my garage door. My garage is from the early 90s so likely has no rolling code protection and as of right now we've maxed out the number of keys that can be linked to it. It only accepts 4 keys but we have 5 cars. Because of it I was the unlucky one and need to use the key pad to open it, but my mother feeds animals in our front yard and I don't like the idea of standing there as a dear walks up to me. Being able to mimic one of the keys would be incredibly convenient.
The only other thing I'd use it for is as a backup key for a hotel. Going with the family on trips usually means only 2 keys but 4 or 5 people. At the last place I went to they even had a two door entrance so I wouldn't even be able to knock the door to let me back in. Many hotels are switching to NFC so it's a fairly useful idea.
If you have to pair an opener remote, it's got rolling codes.
What's that 8 button pad at 12:15 ???
High end cars, with features like lights on as you approach, or other types of features that sense when someone is standing near the vehicle, are impossible to replay. The reason for this is the car checks to see if the person standing next (in the vicinity of about 50 feet really) to it has the "key" or keyfob or not by asking it to roll the code. Any code saved before that point tin time is then made stale. They've been doing this since at least '06 if not earlier. I love the ability to dabble with things in my day to day, and even at work. I implemented most of these things so it's one of those places where the flipper and what it can do is at home legally speaking. Would I give a child this device? Not without oversight. Would I recommend it to any adult? Not without them first getting a firm understanding of where the boundreis of legality lie concerning how to use this device. Other than that, awesome little Tamagotchi!
I think with modification it would be theoretically possible for this device to support rolling code, but I wouldn't recommend it due to just the sheer societal implications of being capable of something like that
You could flood a wireless alarm system with RF and defeat door/wall sensors and stop/interfere with a signal to a audible siren.
Okay I know this video is from AAAGES ago, But I wanted to get people honest review after so much time has passed and I see so many online being resold. Would it be worth me getting one IF I have more than one badge at work and or just use it to mess around with.. would it be worth my time getting one?
I just got one!!! Im 42 going on 15!!! Yahoo
For some reason this reminds me of the "cheeseboxes" our generation used to beat Ma Bell and get free long distance phone calls. Fans were called "phone phreaks".
I dont know if i cant make a exact replica as flip 0 but the emulate radio wave is interesting.
Is the frequency analyzer only a feature available with the unleashed firmware or does it come stock on the flipper? Looking to also see if I can just use this for mine and my wife's remote car starter or if they are also usually rolling codes
The stock firmware has a frequency analyzer.
I got one to use as a learning tool. It has been fun to mess with so far, the IR has been great! But wouldn’t you know, not a Tesla in site since I got it😂
Same bro 😂 teslas be scared ever since
Evertime I don’t have my flipper I see Tesla’s 😂
I too like the Tesla idea. 😂
Will it let you download various signals from the internet to play? I've got this electric fireplace that I lost the remote for years ago, and it would be awesome if I could find something that would be able to function as a replacement. In addition to all the other cool things the Flipper does. I suppose I could also try going to the store and copying the remote signal from one of the floor models and see if that works. I haven't been able to find just the remotes for sale anywhere.
As for the IR stuff, LG phones used to be able to do that. I have one that is couple years old that still does. It's great being able to control TVs in waiting rooms or at hotels.
Yes. You can upload files, scripts, and codes to the device. That's how he got the tesla doors opened.
What's the manufacturer of the electric fireplace? I recorded my remote a couple days ago!
@@imdavidday Whalen. I think we bought it at Menards about 7 or 8 years ago. I've looked for a replacement, but I can't find just the remote for sale anywhere.
So let’s say I locked my key fob in the car; but I have the flipper, and the signal to open saved; would this get my car open?
If it’s a newish car. Nope.
Love the video.. is that a midi sequencer around 33 seconds in? Do you have a secret music project you need to share?
It’s a tracker actually. It’s called a Dirty Wave M8.
i always thought they interessting but i have no real use for it... the bambulab 3d printer uses spools with rfid chips, i was just thinking if it is possible to reprogramm the chips?
What is that keypad that is shown near the end of the video? The one with the green text on its screen.
can you make a video on how alter your money ammount on a student card with flipper zero
Can people change stop lights with these? Or anything to that scale?
No idea.
did you use xtreme firmware?
Any idea about when the flipper one is going to be released?
No idea.
I have the the sub ghz card on the way for me... helps a lot with range on the sub ghz side.
I use it for quick pen-testing outside of work.
I’m sure your work loves that. 😅
Do I have to be a coder to use it and know special comp knowledge
Has anyone got it delivered to the uk before, what was the shipping times like? im so close to buying one but theres no delivery times even through ur paying 54 dollars ish for shipping
best ti have a look on the reddit for that sort of stuff, I posted something like yesterday and ive had 2/3 people help and have been in similar situations. delivery takes like 5 days max
So if I want to control anything I have to have the remote first I can’t just start messing with stuff right away?
You can download scripts online, but generally the Flipper needs a device for you to record and then replay.
Ordered one today I just want to learn about these
Can you use it to copy outside ham radio call to see were there from like Triangulating or Fox hunting the location?
No
my big question is how far can it picks up signals. I know it said 150 feet to send but to recieve it is not said
It really depends on he frequency and the device that is transmitting. If for example, it doesn't have an antenna, or its very compromised you will need to be in close.
@@HamRadioCrashCourse ok. So a fob can be picked far and NFC about an inch. Cool
@@chauffeurmarco Exactly.
Can you please recommend me a device for a very strong IR trasmittion only? I don't really care about other features of flipper. Looking for something like "Tv b gone" but one that works close to 100% and with MUCH higher range.
Check out the device from Adafruit. That was the last I remember seeing.
So if I lost my parking garage ticket and the front desk will let me go for a bogus ripoff ammount even thou I have been there for one hour only this does not open the gate for me?
No idea. Would depend on the gate.
I love mine!!! So fun! Not the most functional but i find it helpful to have.
Nice Lucha! I EDC mine with my flipper too.
Whats thats black device under the flipper near the end of the vid. I recognize it but dont remember why
Dirtywave m8
I wanted one till i saw the price, instead i got an RTL-SDR for my raspi zero W, i can send and transmit with more flexibility than the flipper, and i have lots of gpio to add a card reader/IR blaster. Sucks the raspis are also overpriced now
If you wait, the official Flipper site drops new stock once or twice a month. Retail price is $160
Definitely keep the power of one of these devices in check and don’t let it go to your head. Some of the obviously evil/illegal things you could do besides copying RF ID codes is covertly copying credit card data and then playing it back on a merchant point-of-sale to buy stuff on a strangers credit card, depending on the gas station you might be able to Change the gas prices, and at least in the US most utility companies use smart metering and they have a contactor in them that the utility can use to shut off your power if you don’t pay your electric bill which means you can shut off someone’s power with the flipper zero. Or do other things relating to the electric meter like alter readings etc. and avoid attempting to copy or copying stuff on sensitive government things like access codes federal buildings or other restricted areas or you might run afoul of the espionage act.
Also be aware that these things can trip certain brands of arc fault breakers that are found in modern newer homes built since 2004, the same thing happened with certain HF compatible handy talkies. So keep that in mind if you order one and then you notice certain breakers keep tripping when you’re playing around with it
How do you even change gas price like I don’t get it
Could be a very handy piece of tech when the US starts its brownout phase and cuts off people's electricity without even telling them for "Net Zero"
Can you use this to gain access to buildings that require a key card?
Can it pick off mall radios for analog and digital communications???
Can it clone or generate a freq. sweep signal?
I am unsure of a sweep. But it can record any raw signal you feed it.
It can also act as a pocsag pager, maybe for hampager🤔🤔
Im waiting for the flipper one so bad
Want them rolling codes
This is fucking cool. I don't even have a use for it but I want one lol
