Anyone using Flipper? - eviltoast

Just got mine and I’m starting to experiment with it. Anyone else have one and what are you doing with it?

    It’s a great piece of kit all around. I got the flipper, the screen protector, silicon cover, and wifi board.

    The screen protector went on really smooth. Great instructions.

    The silicon case feels very professional. It does add some bulk.

    The wifi board is choice. I had some permission issues updating it to marauder, but I figured it out. I want to find a good cover for it and add an antenna.

    Just a great device. I’m 30min in and i’m grabbing all kinds of things.

    I had a chance to buy one but I couldn’t justify its cost. If I really want I could take out my laptop and do some of those tools on kali. My phone can do the rfid stuff with some apps and some cards. Maybe in the future. I don’t have money to burn at the moment, but maybe in the future.

      For sure. It’s also a $200 tamagotchi ;) the GHz stuff is worth it for me tho at the size. I’ve set it up with APRS and have started fuzzing things with it.

        I feel like a flipper would be more ideal in the field instead of buying a HackRF or some of the other expensive toys that are overkills, which is why I’ve been considering it alongside a SDR.

        You say that, but I was dismayed that the whole tamagotchi aspect wasn’t better implemented. Leveling up is somewhat hidden behind the various hardware capabilities, and there isn’t much by way of actually interacting with the flipper 🐬.

    Bought one, tinkered with it, copied some RFID tags for friends. It has potential, but needs more development and probably a new iteration of hardware – external antenna ports, better RFID support (different frequencies), wider SubGhz support (apparently it can’t receive radio below 300Mhz, where there’s a lot of cool stuff).

    I heard they released an app store, which is awesome… But I’d also like to see a hardware store – there’s so many things I’d like to plug into this… RS-232 for console access to network hardware/debugging, cameras over SPI interface, etc. etc.

      There’s some great containers for them on etsy as well. Some that even come with great antenna kits.

    Got one, dunno what to do with it. Don’t even think it’s charged anymore.

      There are many little fun things on YouTube that you can try. The documentation also has some stuff as well.

      yea no point in getting one if you don’t have a use for it. that’s a waste of $200

    I’m intrigued by one level lower. Flipper is using TI SimpleLink radio-chips. These chips are $5 to $10. https://www.ti.com/lit/ml/swat002b/swat002b.pdf?ts=1690839499774

    Ti has created BeagleConnect Freedom as a demo-platform for these SimpleLink chips. That’s just $25.

    https://www.beagleboard.org/boards/beagleconnect-freedom


    Ti’s SimpleLink radio line is an ARM Cortex-M4 level of performance (think 100 MHz to 200MHz) for general microcontroller use, with a radio-dsp+CortexM0+ (like ~20MHz) to handle the radio stuff in parallel.

    So the chips that make up the Flipper are incredible, and cheaper to experiment with than I expected!

    Currently I’m trying to flash my wifi module over to marauder but I’m having a bit of trouble. Probably fat fingering the buttons. I’ve added a list of IR receivers via IRDB. I’ve also flashed it to the Xtreme firmware

    Buddy at the local hackerspace was showing off his homemade Geiger counter attachment at last night’s open house. I’ll share this with him and see if he can elaborate

    I bought one but didn’t find it to be capable enough for what I needed it for.

    I was looking for a good RFID tool, but the flipper isn’t compatible with libnfc, and its clock speed meant it couldn’t do more modern RFID chips (143333 based, eg Mifare).

    It also lacked the ability to be a proper embedded device debugger as it only had UART and not much else.

    Fun tool and I suppose, for it’s price, rather decent. But not useful to me; I sold it within a month.

    Got one and threw together a wifi board since the official ones were always sold out. Don’t do much with it though.

      I’ve looked into this before, thought it was cool. I get out often and was unable to really justify a use case for it. Something that would be fun to toy around with and then stick in a drawer forever.
