I have a passing interest in wireless hacking but I have no idea if I have the skillset to make any use of it. How useful is this for someone with zero pen testing and/or wireless experience? I'm curious to know what it would take to hack my garage door or key fob for my car

Out of the box it supports limited raw rf capture and replay. Your garage door (probably) and your car key fob use rolling codes which change each time the button is pressed. This is not supported, and likely won’t be in the official firmware. I’ve used mine to make copies of all rf and ir remotes in my home. Fans, tv, bidet, AC, etc.

FWIW I've used mine to duplicate both of our car key fobs (middle 2000's Mazda and middle-2010's Jeep) so it'll probably be very dependent on make/model/age as to whether it uses rolling codes.

Only thing I’d care about is if it could operate like the loop card wallet thing that Samsung bought and then killed. Applepay is great but still isn’t accepted at Walmart and Krogers owned stores (among others) would love to have a little device like this that holds all my cards.

I'm still waiting for my Kickstarter version (suposideley by July 26th) and as one of the first few backers I would hope I receive mine before others can just go buy one... Yes I live in Switzerland but it's not at the edge or the world. Most have received theirs already but Swiss people had to wait a while...

Also in Europe area, still waiting. I think its with the notoriously slow last mile carrier that never updates tracking, so maybe next week or two...

Same here, I have my tracking number for 3 weeks but no activity so far

Anyone else having issues ordering? Apple Pay fails, and manual checkout says it can't be shipped to my address. It's a normal US residential address. Edit: According to their forums, "There are no US region (R02) flippers in stock at the moment." https://forum.flipperzero.one/t/unable-to-place-order/4251/4

You can already but it at lab401 since weeks, they have them in EU warehouse.

I wonder why they're only selling in Europe? Has shipping to the USA from Europe become a pain and not worth it?

They already sold to USA, but the devices for USA are different than EU because of some regulations and they are out of stock atm

Just got mine a few days ago (EU based). Well built, works as promised. But I find that it mostly works for simple things like controlling lights, tv etc. Most interesting targets use proper encryption (mifare classic for example) so I had no luck accessing my company badge. Mifare Desire data cannot be read properly at the moment it seems, but I'm sure that will be fixed. Fun little tool, will probably end up in a d…

I've been reading my bank cards with the 'unleashed' firmware, not tried a replay yet and it lists Mifare DESFire in the special read actions (not tried, not hw to test)

You can do that with an NFC-equipped Android phone and this app: https://github.com/johnzweng/bankomatinfos

It's also available on F-Droid: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/at.zweng.bankomatinfos2/

Would something like this be a good way for a beginner to get into hardware hacking, or is it more for intermediate-advanced level hackers?

Given all the comments here praising the build quality and conspicuous lack of comments talking about the actual things it can do, I'm guessing it's fairly difficult to use for anything beyond admiring it's build quality

And all Apple consumers use all available features.

TIL some bidets can be controlled remotely. I feel like an ape.

I'm more concerned about why you would need a remote for something that depends on you being there...

There was a toilet in Japan I couldn't for the life of me work out how to flush, I spent ages in this bathroom checking for buttons here and there. Only after I had given up and walked away from the toiled did it flush.
