No SDR? That's a bummer because otherwise it looks amazing. Yeah, I understand they are complimentary. But this would not be a big deal if you'd be able to easily connect both Flipper versions (wirelessly) and use the internal hardware and addons of the Flipper Zero with the Flipper One as if they were one device. Maybe even establishing a protocol that could be used to connect more external devices that understand their stndard.

That's exactly my point! It's a low to midrange computer with extremely high portability including a grayscale display. Where else are you going to get that functionality combined as a single unit?

A mobile phone?

There are not so many running mainline Linux with all free drivers.

What a weird thing to build. I can just do all of it with a laptop. At that price point they will have to put it, it will not be worth it to buy it to carry it around to play around 'sometimes'.

How many laptops run exclusively free drivers with no Intel ME or AMD PSP nowadays?

I ran the 'alternative' driver version of a wifi card 15 years ago already for basic wep/wpa attacks on my laptop.

I don't think one very specific, custom made, non upgradable linux device gives me that much benefit through an exculsivley free driver.

And just wait for the price point.

Tbh i do like that they are doing this, i like the idea of cyberdecks etc. i just don't think that this Flipper One makes relevant sense. And im quite convinced that Flipper Zero is sitting in a lot of drawers and are absolutly unused.

If they would work/support the framework laptop modules, or would build usb hacker rf type style things and the linux software, that would reduce their risk and increase the reach. But a custom device like this?

I have a Flipper Zero and I've used it... occasionally. Like that one time controlling the Taylor Swift Eras tour wristbands: https://blog.jgc.org/2024/05/controlling-taylor-swift-eras-t... but it's mostly sat around being an odd device. I duplicated a couple of RFID things, used the IR for some stuff, and once in a while used the radio receiver, but mostly it looks pretty. I'm not sure what I'd do with a Flipper One…

I had similar feelings but the comments below about adding an SDR to it with an M.2 slot got me looking a little closer. This has an 8-core Rockchip A72/A53 processor and 8GB of RAM. This is not an incremental improvement over the Flipper Zero, this is something else entirely. Hmmmmm...

I'd love to have a "shit hit the fan" style computer (like a cyberdeck), but also be able to do radio communications stuff as a hobby. But there's no ready-made cyberdeck as far as I know; I feel like Flipper has enough mindshare to be able to lead a project like this.

(Clockwork comes close: https://www.clockworkpi.com/, as do these tiny handheld laptops with network and serial ports like GPD's Micro PC)

Heh... I used Flipper Zero to clone RFID tags for all the neighbors to T5577 rings, pins, sticky pads and whatever not for our gated community. If you are adventurous, many ski stations have low-tech cards as well, although they also tend to have human controllers once in a while. And, finally, kids like running around with Flipper Zero opening power taps on Teslas.

I was skiing in Mammoth a few months ago and one day they disabled the automated readers on all the lifts and began manually checking the RFID lift ticket/cards. I suspected somebody had cloned a pass to save money for their group.

Yeah each pass will have a unique code for every user, if they find the same user entering multiple times in a short amount of time it will flag up. I gathered they use facial recognition too so if they see the same card with different faces it'll flag up as well. They don't fuck around.

(granted, facial recognition in a ski resort is uh. an interesting challenge)

More ideas: let me build an ARP table, then give me a button to send WoL packets to host(s) of my choosing. Let me generate p0f fingerprints on MITM'd traffic.

you are not getting ARP of hosts that are sleeping in WoL waiting to be ran

Correct. But it's easier for me to power on a device and let it DHCP request than it is to have to type the mac address in on a d-pad keyboard.

maybe I'm blind, but it looks like there's no radio! like there's wifi and bluetooth, sure, but I don't see NFC or RFID or sub-1ghz radio, at all. imo the flipper always needed to be a software-defined transciever, with a small FPGA to drive it, like the other SDRs on the market. I'm disappointed they seem to have forsaken radio completely.

The page clearly describes how this is not a replacement or upgraded version of the flipper zero. It's a different kind of device.

I wasn't expecting the Ethernet ports. I would love to be able to plug this in an know in a second what tagged vlans are preset, what addr/mask the DHCP server offered, is PXE an option? blink an LED if there's a new RA, ipv6 neighbor, etc. Blink an LED if there's been a 802.3x pause frame in the last 500ms, or 802.3Qbb while we're at it. With the pair of ports, let me MITM so the 802.1X negotiation can take place be…

You do know they make proper network troubleshooting tools, right?

I currently do all this with my laptop and wireshark, it just takes time, a USB-C-to-1GBaseT adapter (my ultrabook doesn't have a built-in port) and I have to figure out the capture filter, and all that that still doesn't let me MITM like this dual port device would.

What would you use instead?
