With Flipper Zero I now have backup keys in my backpack, on my dog's leash, in my running belt, and with close friends. It's great.

Well I found that my apartment NFC key is hardened against dictionary attacks and I'm not able to copy it. It also helped me learn that my parents' garage door is pretty secure. I'm able to have the opener learn my flipper like any other remote, but not crack it. This is even with the unleashed firmware that doesn't mind violating FCC regulations (some of the frequencies it hops to are restricted). I was able to copy…
All garage doors have rolling keys which are non trivial to deal with unless you have pro stuff.

I don't know why you're getting downvoted for this. It's 100% correct advice. The person you're replying to is a sysadmin so they are probably okay in this situation but cloning access cards without permission would be a serious breach no matter how well intentioned or how easy.
I countered the statement and also getting down voted. The key is to train your brain to like down votes just as much as up votes. When the number is just a number not attached to dopamine then you are free.
I’ve had one of these guys sitting around for a while - love the hardware, love the concept, but I haven’t really found a lot of use for it - what are y’all using them for?
Couldn’t find a ceiling fan remote one time ( I have 3 with the exact same remote ) and used it to manage fan speeds
Still doesn’t justify the cost but I guess it’s like my leatherman. Hardly use it but handy when I do.
I actually bought it when seeing the pwnagotchi comparison and expected functionality from the wifi/marauder dev boards to be included. Meaning I got my flipper in the first batch for my country but couldn’t get a dev board even months later
$169 is a bit steep for me, so I went on Temu and bought a $8 125KHz RFID programmer & a $5 USB-C IR Blaster. Combined with my Samsung phones native NFC writing, bluetooth, etc I feel like it scratched the itch of 90% of what people do with Flipper for 10% the cost.
I really resent the marketing of this product. It's as if they invented the cheap RF chips they're using and are the exclusive distributors of it. It's rubbed me as thoroughly dishonest and fraudulent. I know this is currently a minority position, that's why I took the time to state it.

Really? I like mine. Learned a lot about RFID and was able to successfully copy and clone some hotel prox card. Sure, they didn't "invent" the chips inside, but they put the hardware and software in a nice package, included software, and grew a nice community of hackers around it. Because of the popularity of the device, there are third parties, some less reputable than others, trying to ride their coattails. Perhaps…
I was able to clone my apartment fob using a tool I got for $30 on Amazon, and it even came with extra blank fobs and cards to clone to. Flipper Zero can more than just clone RFID keys, but my point is that the tools exist to do all the things it does and do them cheaper, and they're just as easy to use. If you really need a tool that can do them all, though, I can't really argue with the utility; but I do kind of ag…

Before anyone tries this, doing this without first checking with security/facilities would likely be grounds for “disciplinary action, up to and including termination”
