    The LilyGo T-Embed CC1100 has similar hardware capabilities of the FlipperZero plus WiFi/bluetooth and runs the Bruce Pentest firmware all for under half the price of the flipper. The Bruce firmware works well on it but is not as polished as the flipper zero but both hardware and software are open source and easily modded.

    Do this device and the other alternative mentioned (Capibara Zero) have the same level of software support as the Flipper Zero? I imagine the strong community behind the Flipper Zero is a big factor in its ongoing popularity.

    Wondering what the hotels in Vegas around Defcon will think of it this year lol.

    Similar project https://kiisu.io/kiisu-v4a/ runs flipper code and modded flipper code

    Not seeing it mentioned here but the big difference from a first glance is the RF capability. This is little more than a 433 MHz replay attacker. Maybe you can generate arbitrary data out, as long as it's the ook modulation. I'm sure there's a great use-case for this, but avoid any delusions of grandeur, this is very cut down.

    > Read rf signal and emulate it or save it

    I assume it checks that you actually have the licensing requirements to be transmitting on whatever frequency?

    But does it look like a Tamagotchi?

    I wonder if modern smartphones could bus power one of these in a phone case. I love my Flipper, but it's a chonker and I have to charge it.

    What is going on with the PCB? It looks like the soldered several dev boards to a big PCB. I can't think of a good reason to do this.

    Don't suppose anyone has seen in person one of the clones of the flipper zero that are on Aliexpress?

    I know this is a hobby project, but the whole appeal of Flipper Zero is that you can get one for $200 and it instantly grants you a seat on Joe Rogan or Shawn Ryan show where you can wave it front of camera, flip a switch and say "all you base are belong to mine".

    This rocks; the idea of flipperzero phoning home is the(my) primary concern given its use case

    • varenc a day ago

      It's a very dumb device. If you don't put in a separate wifi module it literally has no way to phone home.

      Would you be willing to elaborate on the FZ phoning home?

      • bigiain 19 hours ago

        The FZ itself is very unlikely to even be capable of phoning home.

        I do sometimes wonder how concerned I need to be about the companion app though.

      What use case?

      I got mine to make a backup copy of the remote controls that I'm worried about losing, which happen to be sub-GHz and infrared.

    • forgetbook a day ago

      Edit for all replies: I'm coming from a place of lack of education; it's not that I know FZ is phoning home, it's that I know I wouldn't be able to tell if it was.

      • nextlevelwizard 12 hours ago

        considering it has no wifi or gsm capabilities that is going to be pretty hard trick to achieve

      The firmware is open source
