Flipper Zero is a portable, open-source multi-tool device geared towards pentesters, hardware enthusiasts, and geeks. Designed as a "Tamagotchi for Hackers," it combines various hardware hacking tools into a single toy-like device. Key features include:
- Sub-1 GHz Transceiver: Operates in multiple frequency bands (315MHz, 433MHz, 868MHz, 915MHz) for exploring radio protocols and access control systems.
- NFC (Near Field Communication): Supports major NFC standards (ISO-14443A/B, MIFARE, FeliCa) for reading, writing, and emulating high-frequency proximity cards.
- RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) 125 kHz: Reads, clones, and emulates low-frequency RFID cards commonly used in access control systems.
- Infrared Transceiver: Transmits and receives infrared signals to control devices like TVs and air conditioners, with a built-in and community-updated signal library.
- iButton (1-Wire): Reads and emulates iButton contact keys used in older access control systems.
- GPIO Pins: Offers GPIO pins for hardware exploration, firmware flashing, debugging, and fuzzing, functioning as a USB to UART/SPI/I2C adapter.
- Bad USB: Can emulate various USB devices, including HID keyboards for executing pre-programmed payloads.
- MicroSD Card Support: Provides external storage for apps, data, and firmware updates.
- Bluetooth LE: Enables connectivity to smartphones and other devices for remote control and data management.
Use cases include:
- Penetration testing of access control systems.
- Analyzing and emulating radio protocols.
- Hardware debugging and firmware flashing.
- Exploring and interacting with IoT devices.
- Creating custom applications and extensions via the open-source SDK.
