    I’ve been watching flipper since it was announced. I should probably buy one and play with it.

    All this is going to do is increase sales of the thing and probably increase the number of “kids” trying to break into cars. Streisand effect ftw.

      I have one.

      Its fun.

      But on the subject of rolling codes, I was able to get through a security gate that relies on, essentially, a garage door opener.

      The exploit relied on the ridiculously low amount of rolling codes it cycled through.

      Capture one, and try it a few times to get through.

      Cars are more robust. Despite tinkering with it for about 8 hours, I wasn’t successful with defeating it. That being said, I picked up the device, in part, to start messing around with various signals as an educational tool.
