And even still I would never support banning the device.
Regardless, what you said implies that no more than a negligible amount of garage doors don't use rolling codes, since the reason for my question was security related. If that's not true, I therefore wouldn't say your comment was strictly true.
All this is to say, votes up or down aren't that important. The attitude seems unwarranted.
the gimmick of the flipper is that it does a lot of things in one unit -- every one of those singular functions is easy to do elsewhere, and often less hobbled by the intrinsically low-power nature of the flipper.
In the same vein - AirTags are considerably easier to covertly place on someone else than other asset tracking systems. Yes you can accomplish something similar with either but the likelihood of it being used for unintended purposes increases with the convenience and ease of doing so.
I'd honestly be surprised if no one has made a device to open garage doors with a 555 timer in it somewhere.
Sorry, but how do these aesthetics prevent it from being a hacking tool? Some cool history rebuts the notion: https://telephone-museum.org/telephone-collections/capn-crun...
An android phone running Wigle or WIFIAnalyzer is plenty good for wifi.
As to "dangerous", it is unequivocally a hacker tool. Or are you arguing that this is a "testing tool"? https://github.com/UberGuidoZ/Flipper/tree/main/Sub-GHz/Gas_...
