Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Why you shouldn’t fear Flipper Zero”.
First, one’s from Anonymous, Luke or Linus wait. I liked that hack. You did by the way big fan, there’s a lot of them. It’S a very common name. I think well, they’re they’re, just super into LTT they’re, really technical, uh, okay, those folks, uh, Luke or Linus.
What are your thoughts about pen test learning tools like flipper zero, becoming more available to individuals with the intent to meme or troll? Definitely Anonymous, uh flippers can read NFC coffee, slash, replicate key fobs and emit IR signals. There’S been there’s been tools, uh that you could use maliciously available to everyone on the planet. Since humans started making tools, I don’t think that’s a a hammer is a malicious tool. If you use it to pry open a door yeah like I, I don’t think uh being all concerned about people having access to flipper, zeros and doing trolley things with it is, is a a good or legitimate argument.
Um, I think it’s really cool um, that someone who might be interested in learning how to defend against those types of attacks or someone who might be interested in working on uh pen, testing or a pen, testing, career or or whatever. Even if you’re, just interested in. In checking out what vulnerabilities your own workplace or your own personal setup or whatever might have, I think it’s very cool that people can have access to um a device like a flipper zero. I think flipper zeros are fantastic and they’re there yeah they’re they’re, just cool yeah.
Could I you man, you can do lots with them key fobs suck. Is there a device that could use it like that? Will like clone your key fob, because the key fob for my new car is huge, it’s horrible and now that um now that there’s three cars that I could potentially have to drive. So you want to be able to like switch, which one it is. And then I only want one like how’s that not a product, and I understand why it’s not a product but like.
Ah, if carjackers have them, then I want them. No, I hear you. I’Ve got a flipper zero on my desk. We could try it yeah.
It might be, uh might be a fun thing to do. Yeah, that’s you. Can there might be uh, there might be some some wear and tear on the vehicle once you’re done trying it is. That is that, where we’re going with this, I was gon na.
Let you play with it, but okay uh, I am Jacoby – keeps releasing really cool payloads for uh flipper zero as well uh. I think you guys featured him in a video fairly recently uh because of contributions that he made as well um, but yeah I’ll check him out. He makes really good videos too um, but like what I was technically just referring to was his GitHub page uh, but he makes cool videos, etc, etc. Um there’s lots of cool things.
You can do with it. It’S a very interesting field, um to start messing around with. If you are interested in in Tech, so yeah, I would not discourage it. There’S like there’s always been stuff. You used to be able to buy these flash drives um from oh, I’m not gon na, be able to remember the company name, but they had they had us uh uh a slide out. There wasn’t a ton of flash drives at the time that had that it was like retractable, yeah, whatever it doesn’t matter, but they had. They had a thing. I tell her what was called, but it would.
It would open a prompt when you plugged it into your computer and it was like it was supposed to emulate like a CD or something I don’t know what it was. But there was crazy amounts of payloads. You could just deploy through that and you could buy those at like Best Buy it’s just a flash drive, huh and, and you you just download payloads offline. I think they were called uh switchblade and hacksaw back in the day.
Um hack, five rubber, ducky, yeah yeah yeah um like these. These are people can make malicious tools out of whatever yeah like they’re man. Imagine the kinds of malicious tools they could make if they had a hammer that turned into a crowbar. I checked for updates on that recently.
There are none um. I wonder if we ever reached out and offered to buy them. No did we not you told me to, and I decided not to do it, I’m messaging Nick. Oh, my goodness, uh, it’s it’s so stupid. I don’t want, I don’t want to do it. It’S not even like an a Very anyways, I’m not gon na get too far into it.
You’Re just sending the email anyway. So it doesn’t matter. Oh yeah, I’m not listening to you even a little I’m messaging, Nick and Kyle. So you know I’m really serious.
Oh no! Oh man, maybe there’s a reason why it’s been in product development, maybe for like what, like 10 years, maybe we shouldn’t take this on, or maybe we who took three years to build a screwdriver have just the kind of tenacity that it takes to push this thing Over the Finish Line, a screwdriver is like a product that exists, yeah, a Hammer that splits in half and is a crowbar and is a wrench, and is all these other types of things that sounds cool. Let’S make it. I am so sorry Kyle.
I tried .
