What is Flipper Zero?
The Flipper Zero is the ultimate multi-tool for pentesters, geeks, ethical hackers and hardware hobbyists alike. One pocket-sized device combines multiple tools: RFID, RF, Infrared, HID emulation, GPIO, Hardware debugging, 1-Wire, Bluetooth, WiFi, and more. Lab401
The idea of Flipper Zero is to combine all the hardware tools you’d need for exploration and development on the go. Unlike other DIY boards, Flipper is designed with the convenience of everyday usage in mind — it has a robust case, handy buttons, and a comfortable shape. Flipper
Key Capabilities:
- Sub-GHz radio: Flipper has an integrated multi-band antenna and a CC1101 chip, making it a powerful transceiver with a range of up to 50 meters — perfect for garage door remotes, boom barriers, IoT sensors, and remote keyless systems. Flipper
- NFC & RFID: Flipper Zero has a built-in NFC module (13.56 MHz) and 125 kHz RFID module, turning it into an ultimate dual-frequency RFID device. It supports reading, writing, and emulating HF and LF tags. Flipper
- Infrared: The infrared transmitter can control electronics such as TVs, air conditioners, stereo systems, and projectors. Flipper Zero has a built-in library of signals for common brands, regularly updated by the community. Flipper
- Bluetooth Low Energy: Full BLE support allows Flipper Zero to act as a peripheral device, connecting to 3rd-party devices and smartphones, with companion apps for iOS and Android. Flipper
- HID Emulation (BadUSB): The Flipper Zero can emulate HID devices (Keyboard, Ethernet, etc.) over USB, allowing it to perform BadUSB/RubberDucky-style attacks and automate tasks. Lab401
- GPIO Interface: For connection with external modules, the device has general-purpose input/output (GPIO) pinholes on the top side, supporting SPI/UART/I2C bridging for debugging and flashing. Wikipedia
- U2F Security Key: The Flipper Zero is a fully functional U2F Key, compatible with any U2F-enabled service such as Google, Twitter, and LastPass. Lab401
No Computer Required: Flipper Zero is completely autonomous and can be controlled with a 5-button directional pad without additional devices. For more control, you can connect to Flipper Zero via USB and Bluetooth. Flipper
Open Source & Expandable: The electronic schematics and firmware of the Flipper Zero project are open-sourced under the GNU General Public License. Wikipedia In July 2023, an app store was opened for the device Wikipedia, further extending its capabilities.
