Does it work with "real" 2000's stuff ?
I was able to show that one of my client's building access control is less secure than their lunch system, and for the NFC work I'm doing with some clients, it allows me to have a single device in my pocket with the 30 or so keys in use on the project instead of having 30 dongles in my backpack.
Besides from Bluetooth and USB:
- 433MHz is very much alive (various RF-controller lights, gate openers and such) AND can be used to remotely control another Flipper.
- Both 3.56 MHz and 125kHz are alive in door locks and RFID tags.
- IR is still alive with most TVs.
So yeah, it's missing 2.4 GHz ISM stuff. But given hardware they packed in, it's a rather good multi-tool.
Antique?
Three separate providers have handed me access cards which turned out to be MIFARE Classic 1K in the last month.
I think it's great that a tool like this is being deployed widely into the hands of children (way better than chameleons/proxmark being in the hands of people who know what they are doing and everyone else thinking you're are a paranoid madman for knowing they exist), however it probably means that hotels are going to start charging you for not giving back your room key again before too long...

and you can also swap out the firmware as well: https://github.com/DarkFlippers/unleashed-firmware
I cloned my work & apartment ID cards (RFID & NFC). I read my cats microchip to confirm she actually had one & what the ID was.
It can do all sorts of other wireless stuff I haven't tried out yet.
But for most, yeah, it's a neat toy. But that doesn't make it much different than Arduino or Rasping.
Unless you actually swipe someone's RFID tag it has very little practical security use here.
But in other European countries I'm sure they still rely a lot on radio for gates and parking access.
My underground parking sends a wireless signal to open the door after I've typed in my keycode.
Now the wireless signal to your garage door, that's a surprise to me. I don't even drive tho. I guess it might be fairly common when they want to save space by not burying cables from a keypad reader that is outside the garage.
