Flipper Zero - Cloning NFC, RFID, Key Fob, and IR Signal

Flipper Zero Tutorial and Demonstration

The video provides a detailed tutorial and demonstration of the Flipper Zero device, focusing on its capabilities to clone and emulate various types of signals including NFC, RFID, infrared (IR) remote controls, and sub-gigahertz key fobs.

Key Technological Concepts and Features Covered

NFC and RFID Cloning

• The Flipper Zero can clone NFC-compatible RFID cards (13.56 MHz, e.g., Mifare Classic 1K) using the NFC app.
• It cannot clone 125 kHz RFID cards using the NFC app; instead, the RFID app is used for low-frequency RFID cards.
• Cloned cards can be saved, emulated, or rewritten later, even after rebooting the device.
• Differences between card types were noted (e.g., master card causing beeping).

Infrared (IR) Signal Cloning

• The device can learn and save IR remote control signals by “learning” button presses.
• Users can save multiple buttons (e.g., LED on/off) and then emulate them from the Flipper Zero.
• The built-in IR transmitter requires aiming at the device to work effectively.
• An external, powerful handmade IR blaster module with seven IR LEDs was demonstrated, allowing remote control signals to be sent without precise aiming and over longer distances (e.g., entire home coverage).

Sub-Gigahertz Remote Control Key Fob Cloning

• The Flipper Zero can read and emulate signals from typical 12V relay remote controls.
• The process involves reading the “on” and “off” signals, saving them, and then emulating to control devices remotely.
• A warning was given about the security risks of using simple remote controls without rolling codes, as these are easily cloned and can allow unauthorized access.

Additional Notes

• The presenter used a custom “extreme” firmware on the Flipper Zero, which is a modified firmware version, not the official one.
• Practical demonstrations included locking/unlocking doors, controlling LEDs, and operating relays.
• The presenter emphasized the ease of cloning various signals with Flipper Zero.
• A handmade powerful IR blaster was recommended and linked in the video description for improved IR signal transmission.
• The presenter plans to create more videos featuring Flipper Zero in future projects.
