Watch the Testing Live
So, you’ve got a Flipper Zero and you're wondering, can this little cyber dolphin read NFC tags like a pro and hijack my garage remote like in the movies? Well, let’s dive in and see what happens! 🏊♂️🐬
Step 1: Pimping Out the Flipper with a MicroSD Card 🛠️
Before getting into the juicy hacking—I mean, ethical signal testing—our Flipper needed some extra muscle. A 32GB microSD card was slotted in, formatted, and BOOM 💥—it was ready to store and replay captured signals like a champ.
Step 2: NFC Shenanigans – What Can It Read?
Time to test the NFC scanning abilities! We threw a few gadgets at it:
✅ YubiKey – Scanned successfully, showing juicy details like serial numbers and tech specs. Nice! 🔑
✅ Sony Earphones – The Flipper detected them but didn’t spill too much tea. 🎧
✅ Bank Cards (EMV) – It picked them up but nudged us to use a “compatible app.” (Pfft, security ruins all the fun. 😅)
So yeah, the Flipper can definitely read NFC tags, but don’t expect it to magically clone your contactless credit card.
Step 3: Sub-GHz Signal Sorcery – Can We Clone a Garage Remote?
Alright, here’s where things got spicy. 🌶️ The mission: capture and replay a wireless garage remote signal. The plan:
1️⃣ Use the frequency analyzer to find the magic number (315 MHz). 🔎
2️⃣ Record the signal using various modulation settings (AM/FM). 🎙️
3️⃣ Replay the signal and hope for the best. 🤞
Results: Garage Door Still Closed 🚪🙃
Tried AM. Nope.
Tried FM. Nada.
Tried different bands (AM 270, AM 650, FM 238, FM 476). Still nothing! 😭
Possible reasons for the fail:
- Rolling Code Protection – Many modern remotes use changing codes to prevent replay attacks. 🚫🔁
- Wrong Frequency or Modulation – Maybe we just needed better guessing skills? 🤷♂️
- Signal Strength Issues – Could’ve been too far away or not strong enough. 🚀
So, no Hollywood-style garage break-ins today, folks. But with the right conditions, Flipper could definitely work some Sub-GHz magic. 🔮
Final Verdict: Fun Gadget, But Needs Finesse
The Flipper Zero is an NFC-reading, signal-sniffing beast, but mastering its tricks takes some trial and error. NFC scanning? ✅ Easy. Sub-GHz replay? 🤔 Might take some extra hacking know-how.
So, whether you’re geeking out over NFC gadgets or trying to reverse-engineer wireless remotes, Flipper’s got plenty to keep you entertained. Just don’t expect instant garage-door wizardry.
Stay tuned for more Flipper Zero tests, and remember—hack responsibly! 😎🔓
That should be fun, engaging, and still informative! Let me know if you want to tweak anything! 🚀🔥
