Has anyone come across guides on how to use it? Just simple things like copying a garage opener. I tried it a few times and couldn't work it out. I think It looks like I got it to capture something, but then nothing happens when I send it again. Makes me feel a bit dumb and haven't touched it since.

Sorry, I answered the wrong question.

Garage Door openers aren't as easy as they sound. Try the infrared remotes first, you'll have better likelihood of doing something useful in a few minutes.

Is it fair to say this would allow you to clone apartment fobs, like the service this site provides https://clonemykey.com/

It depends on the fob. I didn't get it to read mine.

That said, there was a post on Reddit of a EMT driver who used theirs to clone dozens of remotes that the ambulances need to open the gate to bring in a patient.

I would guess that with a couple of Flipper Zeros you could easily implement keyfobs/BT relay attacks?

I ordered a second one when I found out that there was already some code written for some a SubGhz radio intercom. Currently only available at the command line interface (yes, you can ssh to it while connected via usb) but shouldn't be too difficult to build some kind of interface for it.

As I was writing this, it occurs to me that you could might be able to capture a bluetooth signal with one, sent it via radio to another that might not be in line of sight, then retransmit from another.

The limit on what you're thinking is that the devices inside this are NOT the latest and greatest.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Which in turn may be a reference to the time when a movie showed an actual dolphin as a hacking device: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=F7OM59U4-z0

It's a reference to the story that inspired the movie. > The prototype of our character is the cyborg dolphin Jones from the story "Johnny Mnemonic" by William Gibson.

You could make the argument that it's further a reference back to "Day of the Dolphin"

PSA: the main benefit of this s the ease of use, due to a lcd display, buttons and software support. If you're familiar with arduino/esp* programming, you can get the components (eg. esp32, cc1101, nfc reader, and infrared transciever) for a lot cheaper on aliexpress or your local reseller, and all of those things are in stock. (or in other words, if you're one of those people who buy stuff like this, play with it fo…

You can build most of the things you own yourself. It's just that sometimes it's a) not worth your time, you'd rather skip the initial step and start building around the ready tool b) this thing actually looks and feels much better than you garage kit. Some people do care. This is like the usual flame war about macbooks vs everything else.

Well sure, but if you just need one feature (eg. infrared "tv-b-gone"), and you already have an arduino at home, you just need an infrared led.

If you want to open garage doors, you just need a cc1101 and an esp8266

If you want to clone rfid cards, you need one of the cheap readers, an empty card an an arduino

Yes, it's ugly, but it's cheap.

I just got mine a couple of days ago. I'm really impressed with how well its built and how polished the software is. It is much more polished than any other similar (useful!) hacking/debugging hobbyist devices I've bought. Its clear a lot of thought and care has gone into it.

Just received mine (today). What is also amazing is the community, there are already custom firmware, extension and guides You can find a list here: https://github.com/djsime1/awesome-flipperzero

Came back here to find this list ,thanks again.
