What do you do with a flipper zero?

I didn't know either, so here you go:

The Flipper Zero is a portable multi-functional hacking device developed for interaction with access control systems.[1] The device is able to read, copy, and emulate RFID and NFC tags, radio remotes, iButtons, and digital access keys.

Well that's cool to know what it is/does but now I have no idea what I'd do with one even though I want one

aggressively untrue.

the flipper can only use non rolling (until the past week or so) sub-ghz. even with the newest unleashed firmwear where you can clone the keys rolling id (its a lil deeper then this), you still can only unlock and not start.

very cool stuff

whats even cooler is the new flipper blackhat. it runs a linux kernel built for its tiny risc-v soc.

basicly a mini pineapple for the flipper. 10\10
