Flipper Zero represents a portable multi-tool designed for both pentesters and enthusiasts, cleverly packaged in a playful, toy-like form. This versatile device thrives on the exploration of digital domains, including radio protocols, access control systems, hardware, and beyond. Notably, it operates on an entirely open-source platform, allowing for full customization, empowering users to expand its capabilities in any desired direction.
The Flipper Zero is a compact hardware device with the intriguing personality of a cyber-dolphin. It possesses the ability to engage with real-life digital systems and evolves as you utilize it. Discover various access control systems, RFID technology, radio protocols, and debug hardware through the utilization of GPIO pins.
Flipper Zero operates independently and can be managed using a 5-button directional pad, eliminating the need for extra devices like computers or smartphones. The main features are accessible directly from the Main Menu.
For enhanced control, you have the option to connect to Flipper Zero using USB and Bluetooth. Instead of incorporating a TFT, IPS, or OLED display, we've opted for a stylish old-school LCD.
Here is the operational spectrum for a broad category of wireless devices and access control systems, encompassing applications like garage door remotes, boom barriers, IoT sensors, and remote keyless systems. Enhancing the capabilities of Flipper Zero is possible by installing extra applications, enabling the device to gather data from diverse sources, including weather stations.
Flipper incorporates a multi-band antenna and a CC1101 chip, serving as a potent transceiver with an effective range of up to 50 meters.
The CC1101 serves as a versatile transceiver specifically crafted for low-power wireless applications. Capable of supporting a range of digital modulations, including 2-FSK, 4-FSK, GFSK, MSK, OOK, and flexible ASK shaping, it empowers your applications with the ability to engage in diverse forms of digital communication. Whether establishing connections with IoT devices or facilitating access control systems, the CC1101 provides a robust solution for your communication needs.
This category of card finds extensive use in legacy access control systems globally. These cards are relatively simple, storing only an N-byte ID without any authentication mechanism. Consequently, they are susceptible to being read, cloned, or emulated by anyone. Flipper Zero is equipped with a 125 kHz antenna at its base, enabling it to read low-frequency proximity cards and store their information in memory for subsequent emulation.
Additionally, card emulation is possible by manually entering their IDs. Furthermore, Flipper Zero users have the capability to remotely share card IDs with other Flipper Zero users.
The Flipper Zero is equipped with a built-in NFC module operating at 13.56 MHz. Combined with the 125 kHz RFID module, it transforms the Flipper Zero into an all-encompassing RFID device capable of functioning in both low-frequency (LF) and high-frequency (HF) ranges. The NFC module is compatible with all major standards.
The functionality of the NFC module closely mirrors that of the 125 kHz module. This enables users to seamlessly engage with NFC-enabled devices, performing actions such as reading, writing, and emulating HF tags.
Complete Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) functionality empowers Flipper Zero to function as a peripheral device. This enables seamless connectivity between your Flipper Zero and third-party devices, as well as smartphones.
Our team of mobile developers has created applications for both iOS and Android platforms. These apps facilitate tasks such as updating your Flipper Zero through BLE, remotely controlling the device, sharing keys, and managing data on a larger screen.
The infrared transmitter in Flipper Zero is designed to send signals for controlling various electronics, including TVs, air conditioners (AC), stereo systems, and more.
Flipper Zero comes equipped with an integrated signal library for popular brands of TVs, AC units, projectors, stereo systems, and other devices. This library undergoes continuous updates facilitated by the Flipper Zero community, ensuring the addition of new signals to the IR Remote database.
The Flipper Zero is equipped with an IR receiver, allowing it to capture signals and store them in the library. This enables you to save your current remotes for future command transmission. Additionally, you have the option to contribute them to the public IR Remote database, making them accessible to other Flipper Zero users for sharing.
Flipper Zero is designed to store a diverse range of data, including remote codes, signal databases, dictionaries, image assets, logs, and more. All this information is stored on a microSD card.
The microSD card slot features a push-push type connector, ensuring that the card is securely held inside without protruding. Flipper Zero is compatible with microSD cards formatted in FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, and exFAT, offering flexibility in storing your assets and eliminating concerns about running out of memory.
Flipper Zero stands out as a multifunctional device designed for hardware exploration, firmware flashing, debugging, and fuzzing. Utilizing GPIO, it seamlessly connects to various hardware components, enabling button control, code execution, and the display of debug messages on the LCD. Additionally, it serves as a conventional USB to UART, SPI, I2C, and more adapter.
The Flipper Zero comes equipped with a built-in 1-Wire connector specifically designed for reading iButton contact keys. Despite being an older technology, iButton contact keys are still widely utilized globally. The 1-Wire protocol employed by these keys lacks authentication, allowing Flipper to effortlessly read, store IDs in its memory, write IDs to blank keys, and even emulate the key itself.
Adding to its innovative features, the Flipper Zero boasts a distinctive iButton contact pad design. This unique shape serves a dual purpose, functioning both as a reader and a probe for connecting to iButton sockets.
