A Flipper Zero can feel like a shortcut, but lasting cybersecurity skills come from learning Linux, building tools, and mastering the fundamentals. #FlipperZero #Cybersecurity #Linux #EthicalHacking

Flipper Zero is popular because it places several wireless tools inside one portable device. This project follows the same experimental idea on a smaller budget: a D1 Mini captures one infrared command and one compatible fixed-code 433 MHz RF command, saves them in memory, and replays them from a private web dashboard.It is not a full Flipper Zero replacement, but it is a practical way to learn IR, RF, MQTT, embedded storage, and secure web control in one build.Use this device only with equipmen

Portable multi-tools have become popular among hackers, security researchers, and electronics makers because they place several testing functions inside one compact device. Instead of carrying separate tools for radio signals, NFC tags, infrared controls, and hardware connections, users can study multiple technologies from a single interface. Open-source firmware, active developer communities, and affordable ESP32 hardware have also made these tools easier to customize. Their capabilities are po

OK, this is going to be a super detailed, nerdy, long post about me getting a new gadget and making it accessible. Last Monday, I got myself a Flipper Zero. For those of you who don't know, Flipper Zero is a tiny device squarely targeted at tech nerds, geeks and tinkerers, and has made a name for itself as a hacking gadget shortly after it was first released in 2023. It's a nifty little device that can receive, send and manipulate various types of radio, NFC, Bluetooth and infrared signals, which yes that does make it a great tool for ethical hacking and pentesting. But that means it can also, for example, be used as a universal remote for controlling TVs, stereos, ACs, or most anything else that's remote controlled around your home, it can also be extended to be a powerful network diagnostics tool thanks to various add-on boards that can be connected to its GPIO pins. So yes this thing can do a lot, and it's very popular throughout the tech community. Problem is, the Flipper Zero comes with zero accessibility features. To be fair, the device is very constrained in terms of resources: 64 MHz processor, 1024 KB flash storage, 256 KB SRAM, not exactly much headroom for a screenreader. At least there's a speaker though, a tiny piezo buzzer that isn't exactly capable of producing high-quality audio, but hey it's something at least. Thankfully, the Flipper's firmware is completely open-source, and in fact there are lots and lots of community maintained, alternative firmwares available. So starting Tuesday morning, I fired up Claude and set out to work on a project that seemed hopeles at first given the device’s specs, and after several rounds of designing, testing, tweaking speech samples, adjusting EQ parameters, firmware tweaking and stripping out animations and visuals that would otherwise have taken up too much memory for the screenreader to run, I’m finally able to navigate, use and enjoy a device that was never really meant to be accessible to a completely blin…

Insurers can sue Korean automakers Kia and Hyundai for payouts on theft-prone car models, the appellate court ruled. Such thefts are likely to plague the state into the 2040s, a new UCLA study showed.

I wanted to see how much remote-control functionality I could build around a basic Arduino Uno. The result is a compact device (code and wiring schema provided) that can learn one infrared command fro...
