Flipper Zero digital multi-tool sparks security debates in Utah 

I know listen to the music

Someone can use that to enter someone's home at night while they are sleeping. Easy way to human traffic sleeping victims or commit r*pe. This is horrible. They could also use it for silent theft. Victims, especially women when hiding from human traffickers and r*pists, might think they are safe inside a building like an office, or an apartment complex gym (they usually have those electronic door locks), and the criminal can open it super fast and get them. This is not okay. Even if they outlaw these, criminals may still have them under the radar. We can't trust any mechanism that can be compromised by this device.

​​@@JESUS.saves.Repent. I don't expect someone that believes in an *invisible sky wizard* to understand what facts and research are, so I'll help you out a little. *_THIS ISN'T TRUE._*

Would that be blaming the victim?

They don't want the public knowing DEI hires are dumb and causing all these security holes.

yeah, if a company is selling security systems that any wannabe script kiddie can break into with a device that costs less than a smartphone, they're doing something wrong. i might even go so far as to say that they're ripping off their customers, selling stuff that's useful as security theater and not much else. but that's also kinda the thing with security systems - there are very few security systems that can't be broken into by a sufficiently determined bad actor. security systems usually aren't meant to make unauthorized access totally impossible, just make it difficult, time-consuming, and/or resource-intensive enough to deter people from breaking in. watch a few talks on youtube by professional penetration testers and you'll start to notice the glaring security vulnerabilities pretty much everywhere. there's a plethora of simple and low tech ways to open a locked door without a key, which most doors aren't secured against. a lot of places stay secure because nobody cares enough to break in, not because it'd actually be especially hard to do so. Plus, the flipper zero has been around for years already. the media is fearmongering about it now as if it's a new thing that's gonna have big impacts going forward, but it's already existed for years without making enough of a ripple for the media to take note. and it's a tool for learning about cybersecurity and for tech-related pranks and mischief. it's not particularly useful as a serious hacking tool, since most of the attack vectors it offers are easily defeated by basic security measures - replay attacks are all but useless when rolling codes are involved. plus, if we restrict access to these useful educational tools to only those operating outside the law, all we'll accomplish is hobbling our own defenses against malicious hackers.

​@@boslyporshy6553 blaming those responsible for securing their buildings. Self accountability.

Yup, boomers scared. All it takes is parking outside some boomers house, recording their garage code, disable their phone from calling 911 and we go ransack the house.

Better than a loose pack of hemorrhoids!

There's a bar in my town that has a lot of *tight packed antennas.*

@@iyeetsecurity922 They trying to double or triple park their antennas in one stinky garage? 🤣

;)

Heaven forbid they learn about linux or kali...

​@@ryshellso526Linux is just an operating system. Not some a hacking tool. Kali is a Linux distro with security tools but without the knowledge of how to use them is useless. Having access to either isn't going to make someone a security threat. Most actual black hats don't use Kali since it's old and bloated.

what did you smoke 🚬

@@Gertbfrobe407 , Read the Federal Wiretap Act and later acts that add to its prohibitions on private surveillance of all kinds. It is illegal in all 50 states and most countries for any private entity to listen to or record a conversation that they are not a party to without the consent of at least one party in the conversation. This device enables the modern equivalent of wiretapping by remote means, which is also a violation of the wiretapping act. So, no I am not crazy to believe that people without legitimate research interests to improve security should have no right to use this or any other means to listen to any conversation of any kind without permission of at least one person in the conversation.

Oh no boomers are gonna triangulate me... better bring guns. Come on my property and you get 1 warning.

You would have to swipe their back pocket for the number and expiration date. Then video the person using the card for the 3 code pin on the back. Boom access to money.

They're afraid of doing research.

Exactly. And since it's nearly impossible to "secure" RFs, it's like trying to control oxygen or sound waves. Whaddya gonna do? Ban air and sound (as examples)?

Your out of your league buddy.

Based.

It will only defeat very weak security measures. Companies and government buildings that are vulnerable to such a juvenile attack should invest in better security.

Agreed. LinisTechTV says ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-J0Hy_cEg2oo.htmlsi=2ZlARKqJj1XtdeRb

Exactly. It's like expecting a gun to fire itself....

and even for those with the knowledge to use one effectively, it's not especially versatile. it's useful for learning about cybersecurity, and for tech-related pranks and mischief. it isn't particularly useful as a serious hacking tool.

@@robots9146 💯

Lmfao, go look at the apps for them. It's more than just IR...

But go ahead and keep using your crappy old wallet.

Have fun disputing those credit card charges. ;)

@@ryshellso526 I actually have one. I've used it for cloning key card, my credit card, turning off tv's, making the customer assistance buttons go off. Practically though you've got to be pretty close to the garage door to get a clean capture. You have to be waiting there for a long time. Plus what freq is it on? You have to scan and what if they press the button when the receiver isn't on that freq in the scan, you miss it. For the most part though, its a nuisance device. HackRF/Portapak is where you can really start doing stuff.

No that's a Faraday cage...
