Flipper Zero's Co-Founder Says the Hacking Tool Is All About Exposing Big Tech's Shoddy Security

Gizmodo · 8m

Flipper Zero, a versatile, keychain-sized device, has attracted controversy due to its ability to scan and mimic various signals. The device is designed for everyday operations such as opening garage doors or testing security systems, but it has also raised concerns about its potential for replicating vehicle key fobs or orchestrating DDoS attacks on iPhones. Despite the controversy, Flipper Zero's co-founder sees the device as a Swiss army knife for tech-curious individuals and aims to expand its capabilities beyond its current form. The recent collaboration with Raspberry Pi brings video game capabilities to the Flipper Zero, allowing users to mirror the screen on a larger TV and play games using motion sensors. The company envisions further expansion and partnerships to cater to its DIY-focused audience.
