Hacking could be fun! Well at least you can have some fun with the Flipper Zero, and hone your hacking skillz!
Taken from Engadget … Flipper Zero is a small, Tamagotchi-like gadget that its creators hope will get people into hacking. Just like the classic digital pet, the device has a cute, needy creature at its heart. One big difference is that this dolphin loves to hack.
Just like an actual Tamagotchi, the built-in controls are simple, with a five-button directional pad and an exit/back button. It has a tiny, low-power 1.4-inch monochrome display. However, it seems there’s a lot you can do with Flipper Zero as a standalone device.
The team behind the gizmo built it with “all the phreaking hardware tools that you could need for hacking on the go.” Plenty of scripts and popular attacks are baked into the menu. The 433/868 MHz transceiver could allow you to access the likes of smart plugs and garage doors, and you can use the infrared transmitter to control TVs, air conditioners and other systems. With the NFC module, you’ll be able to communicate with a wide range of NFC-enabled devices.
Flipper Zero is open source and customizable, and you can plug in other hardware to get more out of it. You can connect it to your phone or other devices via Bluetooth, or plug in a MicroSD card to expand storage and add your own plugins. Flipper Zero also has GPIO and USB ports for hooking it up to other hardware.
