Abstract

Wireless devices are increasingly used today, and the presence of vulnerabilities represents a significant risk to modern security systems. This study analyzes the different functionalities of the Flipper Zero device and its capability to compromise everyday systems. Through various tests and an exhaustive analysis of its infrared, RFID/NFC, sub-GHz, USB, and Bluetooth functionalities, several critical vulnerabilities were identified, such as access credential emulation and interference with remote control signals. These results demonstrate that the device is a highly versatile and useful tool for performing security audits, not only improving traditional testing methods but also opening new possibilities for developing more resilient defense systems. However, it also poses a potential risk if misused for malicious purposes.
