In my college, there's a management company in charge of the building that won't allow students to open lab rooms with their student cards. The college themselves want us to have access, but can't because of this management company, so normally to get into labs, students ask a nearby lecturer to open it for them. My friend somehow managed to clone a staff keycard to his phone and was able to open lab rooms when theres no lecturers around.

That part about cars and rolling codes reminded me of this one time when me and some of my family members were in a big parking lot and when somebody unlocked the car with the remote we could hear at least 3 other cars unlock, then they locked it and all those cars that unlocked locked again. Really shows how insecure old cars are, because the car they had was from around 2005 or so

I’ve had my Flipper for many months now. It’s useful as a keychain for keyfobs and RFID cards. The IR comes in handy to control lights and other devices around the house. The Amiibo library is pretty cool but I’ve never used it. Another cool use is to check if RFID shielded wallets and bags are indeed what they claim to be. Then it’s fun for all sorts of inocent pranks such as popping Teslas (only works when the car is not running and stationary and the lid closes automatically after a couple of minutes), prematurely setting off restaurant buzzers, messing with electronic price tags in the supermarket, messing with the volume or channels on public TV displays or projectors, NFC rick rolling people’s phones (it’s just a YouTube link that auto opens and the prank is pretty ruined with ads if the victim doesn’t have Premium)…
It’s a reminiscent of the old Blue Box days. Poke around and have fun!
By the way, unofficial firmware allows usage of rolling codes but it also unlocks restricted frequencies. Since I work mainly around hospitals I don’t dare unleashing that monster and risking accidentally messing with someone’s pacemaker!

The Flipper zero has been excellent for demonstrating problems to management. If I demonstrate an exploit using my portable workstation and expensive SDR, no matter what I say the mental picture is that it requires expensive equipment and expertise. Instead show it with something that looks like a toy and was bought online for fun-money, and the mental picture is very different.

I purchased my mainly for doing home theater installations. There's so many remotes that you do not know what the IR code is and that was the main reason for my purchase. Yes, I do have a lot of TV remotes, installed air-conditioning system, ceiling fans, and some other devices I've added, it has made things very convenient when I go to customers and there's an issue with the remote.

Been playing with my flipper for about a month It’s pretty much a leatherman for computers, it is one of the best IR remotes/transmitters available but all that’s good for is turning off the TVs in Walmart, to scan cards you need to physically have the card in and touch it to the back of the devices so no one is going to be using a flipper to steal your card from 30 feet away in the mall.

I backed the Kickstarter and I'd say Linus is right on point here. What made this device so attractive to me was the fact that it's small, pocketable and all-in-one. It's a fun little toy to explore and learn about security with and encourages you to really think about wireless communication security

Thanks for that video! Recently, I had a scary encounter with an RFID hack while traveling on a crowded subway. As someone who relies heavily on credit cards and digital payments, the thought of losing all my personal information to a stranger was terrifying. Luckily, I had invested in an AirTag wallet and was able to protect my cards from the hacker's attempts

True story, I had my first date as a 40 year old. We met at a bar that had an annoying TV in the background. I pulled the flipper and used it to turn off the TVs in the bar (It was lazy thursday afternoon; no one was watching anything). Nobody clapped, but my date and I enjoyed being able to hear each other and talk uninterrupted.

As someone who was lucky enough to get a flipper, the uses are very interesting. I've utilised it a few times during penetration tests and was sometimes amazed by the performance.
For a small, pocket sized, battery powered device, I'm not surprised this caused a stir...
However, it doesn't help that so many people are making a big deal of these and showing "hacks" online that just aren't real.
"Watch the flipper hack CCTV!!! Omg!!!"
No Travis, you turned off the TV they're connected to, any phone with an IR blaster can do that...

I love the coverage of security stuff. You should do more of this kind of thing. If you really want to blow people's minds then look into physical pen testing. Door attacks, keyed alike systems, etc. It's hilarious how easy it is to just pop open pretty much any door. I guarantee almost anyone could break into nearly any building in under 5 minutes using less than $100 of kit that can easily be concealed on their person.

I think what's cool about the flipper zero is the fact that it's so accessible. You're absolutely right that you could make one of these with an arduino easily enough, I could make one as an experienced developer and electronics tinkerer, but I don't think I would take the time to make one because I'm not motivated enough to do so. On the other hand, I'd definitely buy one of these things.

What would you use a Flipper Zero for? Nothing nefarious we hope… Check out the Flipper Zero here: lmg.gg/DK9yf Sanpopo NFC Tags: geni.us/3qJ4A Purchases made through some store links may provide some compensation to Linus Media Group.
