Idk. Flipper0 pretty damn cool and fun. Some one in my neighbor hood is sending packets on 299.999. I’ve caught a few. Just fun stuff trying to figure it out.
Its super battery efficient. Its also super cute and fun to have a tomagatchi type device. I love mine.
Edit: rtfa. These alternatives are cool, and honestly, wifi and bluetooth on the Flipper0 would be great. But none of the mentioned alternatives even remotely compare with regards to the breadth of tools the Flipper0 has. Its an all in one with a cool dolphin companion. I’ll definitely go in for the Flipper1 if its got wifi and bluetooth, but i’d be bummed if it gets much bigger. The package size is great with the flipper 0.
I just recently got my flipper - was buying some long range nfc stuff, and noticed they had that in stock, so decided it is cheap enough to just get it and figure out later what it is about.
I’m very pleasantly surprised - sturdy hardware, well polished software, and very good documentation. It is just a great thing to always have in your pocket - digital companion to the swiss army knife I always carry.
I have a lot of more powerful specialized equipment - which pretty much everything in the article is. But most of that isn’t really suitable enough to always have it with me - not versatile enough, or limited options without attached computer. flipper is great to just have a look around - and to know what to bring next time, if there’s something interesting to investigate further.
That sounds cool - these devices are something I’m unfamiliar with. What is your use case for it being an EDC/in your pocket?
Mostly NFC. Flipper standalone is more versatile than a proxmark3 I used to carry. Also seems the NFC reader is more reliable - you still can do more, and generally have better control via the proxmark when connected to a phone, but for just investigating the flipper is better. And as bonus supports a bunch of other stuff that might be interesting to look into.
Can you give more details on the packets on 299.999? I don’t understand what you mean there
Maybe 299 MHz? Although their website says it broadcasts to other Flippers at 433 MHz…
Where do you get one?

I wouldn’t call any of these alternatives. They all are much more specialized and don’t have the versatility of the flipper. And only one of them is something you’d carry in your pocket.
These are all additional hardware for hacking, but in no way a replacement.
Anyone knows how to check if local legislation allows possession of one of these? What exactly are these classified as? Don’t want to attempt to buy one only to turn out its illegal over here
