The Flipper Zero team has announced the official launch of “Flipper Apps,” a new app store enabling mobile users to download third-party apps and expand the capabilities of the well-known wireless pen-testing tool.
Flipper Zero is a little, toy-like multi-tool with the inquisitive viewpoint of a cyber-dolphin. It integrates all the hardware resources required for mobile exploration and development.
Using RFID emulation, digital access key cloning, radio communications, NFC, infrared, Bluetooth, and other techniques, pen-testers and hacking enthusiasts may experiment with various kinds of hardware with the help of Flipper Zero.
Particularly, Flipper Zero is used by more than 350,000 users to interact with wireless devices, including TVs, air conditioners, and IoT sensors, as well as access control systems like boom barriers, garage doors, and RFID card systems.
“With the launch of Flipper Apps, users can extend their devices’ functionality with custom applications,” said the Flipper Zero team.
