What’s Flipper Zero and What Dangers Did It Bring

If you were born in the ‘70s or ‘80s, you probably know what Tamagotchi is—a beloved keychain-sized virtual pet simulation game. But for our younger audience, Tamagotchi is where it all began and what inspired Alex Kulagin and Pavel Zhovner to create something truly remarkable—a small, portable, ethical hacking device better known as Flipper Zero!

Beneath its compact exterior, Flipper Zero conceals remarkable power, boasting 256 Kb of RAM, 1 MB of Flash storage, and a dual-core processor. Since its August 2020 launch, users have uncovered its versatility, from decoding NFC and RFID to outsmarting electronic safe security. However, its capabilities have raised ethical questions, particularly concerning car key fobs and access control systems.

In April 2023, Amazon banned Flipper Zero sales, classifying it as a "card skimming device." Nevertheless, for tech enthusiasts and those with digital aspirations, Flipper Zero continues to offer a gateway to exciting possibilities in the digital realm.
