Flipper Zero

Portable multi-tool for pentesters and hardware hackers - the cyberpunk Tamagotchi.

What It Actually Is

A pocket-sized device that speaks the languages of the invisible world - infrared, RFID, NFC, SubGHz, GPIO. Part educational tool, part mischief maker, part digital Swiss Army knife.

Core Capabilities

- SubGHz: 300-928 MHz (garage doors, weather stations, IoT) - RFID: 125 kHz (HID prox cards, EM4100) - NFC: Mifare, bank cards, Amiibo - Infrared: TVs, air conditioners, anything with a remote - Bad USB: Keyboard emulation - GPIO: Hardware hacking interface - iButton: Those metal buttons nobody remembers

Field Reality

Not a magic hacking device. Won’t open modern cars or hack credit cards. Will teach you how everyday RF systems work and occasionally surprise you with what’s unencrypted.

Forestpunk Angle

- Document rural infrastructure frequencies - Map abandoned sensor networks - Understand the RF landscape of nowhere - Interface with forgotten systems

BadUSB

BadUSB allows an actor with physical access to a computer to plug in their Flipper, in lieu of a keyboard, and have it "type" in an automated fashion over the USB connection.

Experiments

- Building SubGHz repeater networks for forest coverage - Cataloging wildlife tracker frequencies - Weather station data harvesting

Firmware

Stock firmware is intentionally limited. Alternative firmwares unlock frequencies and features but use at your own risk and within legal bounds.
