I'm a DJ (usually karaoke), and the flipper zero has been invaluable for me. Being able to control the jukeboxes and TVs, when the bartenders have lost the remotes or are too busy to help out, has been a game changer. There are certainly legitimate uses for the device besides pentesting

The flipper zero is like a Swiss Army knife. It’s not really great at anyone particular thing, and there are far better tools for any one thing. But you have the basics of many different tools.

[@aracnadei13]

Seems like it is better at demos than practical uses sadly. I would use it for a week, then toss it in a drawer to never been seen again.

The best tool is the one you have with you when it's needed...okay not always, but you know what I mean.

Ollam is the reason I "taught myself" to pick locks. I was curious how easy it was. It's very easy, lol.

[@Sal-T]

It's scary easy. A place I was renting had a little utility shed that the owner didn't have a key for. I got a set of lock picks, and raked the pins and had it unlocked in under a minute on my first attempt at picking anything. Doesn't instill confidence!

[@anteshell]

@@Sal-T You're doing something seriously wrong if you count the time it takes to rake a lock in minutes. If the lock is susceptible to raking attacks, it should open in a couple of seconds.

[@KarltheKrazyone]

I'm out of that industry now, but when I was doing hotel AV work, I would have loved having a flipper. Dozens of TV types, and just needing to change input or volume often left me walking a show floor with cargo pockets full of remotes. The ninja remotes were cool, but it took so long to go from unit to unit. Not to mention, having a dedicated RF spectrum analyzer. One of those is still going to end up in my toolbox at some point. Love the opensource "I have a problem, I bet other people need it as well."

[@shaunm9015]

TV input in my hotel was on the wrong input, and had a locked down remote. I used my flipper and changed the input..

[@TrinityAlex]

get a phone that has an IR blaster... much better than the flipper for that purpose. You get a full remote with all the functions.

[@DanielLopez-up6os]

Personally i just the IR blaster in my phone.

[@Funkteon]

Flipper Zero is useless in 9/10 hotel keycard emulation attempts, as most businesses had their cards and readers upgraded from 'Mifare Classic' to 'Mifare Plus' or 'Mifare DESFire' back in 2010... It's just an expensive toy that only works on the most oooooold piece of shit systems in broke-as-fuck businesses who refuse to update their access control.

​@@zerorig looks like them cheeky commie rabbits from xiaomi didn't get the memo. 😋

The Flipper can actually receive an analog wireless mic and play the audio(very badly) if it were in range.

[@jessthemullet]

One of the things about the "restricted frequencies" means that if you have like, a garage door opener from the mid 1990's, then it probably runs on frequencies that have since been restricted. Your old equipment is grandfathered in and not in violation of FCC stuff, but you making a new remote to open it is kind of in a grey area. So, if you use something like the unleashed firmware, your flipper can now open the garage door you own.

[@JP-WC]

Some things aren't grandfathered, but also aren't a big enough issue for the FCC to actually care. They changed frequencies in wireless mic ranges and tons of consumer level systems had to be replaced (or for a narrow part of the ranges you could get an FCC license to continue use). We had to replace a decent percentage of ours because we couldn't claim ignorance, luckily our vendor had a subsidized rebate program for the old ones. You can still see the old banned ranges on mics in all kinds of places from churches to community centers, but the output on those are so low that even if someone reported it they would have be in the building when the mic is in use to even check, which isn't worth the time it would take to even file the paperwork.

[@vnzboy]

1:58 someone did make a universal remote control script for the palm pilot, I had it and it worked great. I used to spend an awful lotta time at the Virgin mega store trolling the workers by changing all the tv to static stations and unmuting them 😂😂

[@petef15]

My samsung (S6 maybe?) had an IR blaster. Was great could remote control anything at all.

[@HenryKlausEsq.]

Deviant Ollam, the cool dad we never had. (I'm mid 40's so it would be a weird family setup) I was one of the early birds to get the Flipper Zero w/ devboard and wasn't super impressed initially. Had the HackRF Porta and some other gear...then more and more cool firmware came out. It's been the little gadget that could. Carry it with me along with my Leatherman and phone everywhere. Buy one. Support good hardware.

[@AnonymousFreakYT]

There were universal remote apps for the Palm Pilot! There were even universal remote apps for the HP 48 calculator's IR "data transfer" system. (I had way too much fun in class in high school with my HP 48.)

[@HaloInverse]

I used to have a PalmPilot, can vouch for this. Unfortunately (at least on mine) the IR transciever was designed to work at fairly close ranges (e.g. transferring data between two PalmPilots), and didn't have enough oomph to reliably control a TV at normal TV-watching distances, let alone TV-mischief distances. The implementation was proto-NFC, not proto-Bluetooth. You _could_ buy IR amplifiers for PalmPilots, but I never saw them for sale locally, sadly.

[@Nekotamer]

DUDE ! i had a universal remote controller on my tungsten tx! you just had to either search for their very very reduced library or capture the packets yourself from a remote.

[@mustacheboyo]

NoviiRemote

[@aaroneidinger]

Same. I can't remember the name of the one I had. You could configure various screens for your buttons. To program, you pointed your TV remote at your Palm so it could read the signal and it would send it back when you pressed the on-screen button.

4:45 Looking up the FCC table; 512 - 608 MHz is for "Broadcasting" in the international table and in the US table. The FCC Rule Parts: Broadcast Radio (TV)(73), LPTV, TV Translator/Booster (74G), Low Power Auxiliary (74H).

[@tigerchills2079]

Ah.. and my personal guess, why the Flipper Zero doesn't support it: The Flipper focusses on the most interesting bands where you find most consumer hardware: on the ISM bands. That's 315 MHz and 915 MHz in the US; in Europe that's 433 MHz and 868 MHz. There is quite a gap between 468 and 868 MHz. It also skips PMR446.

[@x316RiotMakerx]

I was at a bar in Indiana trying to watch the Chiefs game recently. The bartender changed the TV we were watching to basketball without asking us. My Flipper Zero saved the day, I changed the channel back. Lol

2:36 ... This is the US price BEFORE tax converted to other currencies. That doesn't make much sense as in most other countries outside the US, there's only one tax rate and products are labelled with their price incl. VAT. So, £165.55 for the UK and 197.15€ for Germany are much more realistic. (It's on Amazon for £171-£180 and 193€ ATM.)
