Apple Fixes Bug Allowing Flipper Zero to Lock Up iPhones

Wow, this device could be really useful for my [S]crimes[/S] hobbies. 🤔

I highly doubt MR wants to get blamed considering idiots are using these to steal cars and break into things..

People need to understand something: This device puts into one device technology that has been used by everyone from criminals to governments (is there a difference? lol), in some instances for decades. This device existing and being so easy to use and combining so many tools together will be better for all of us in the long-run, because manufacturers will patch security holes and update their hardware over time to prevent these exploits. There is a lot of lax security out there that relies on simple radio communication.

By taking it from the hands of the few and putting it into the hands of the many, we all become safer because companies are actually forced to do something about this. This is no different than someone like The Lock Picking Lawyer, who sells lock picking kits through his business Covert Instruments and has a popular YouTube channel where he shows the flaws in various locks. Consumers are empowered to buy things that are more secure in the long run, and penetration testing has always been a thing since the invention of the door and extends to all modern devices.

At the end of the day bad guys are always gonna bad guy. People thought they were secure because they didn't know they weren't until now. We shouldn't penalize the company making these tools, we should penalize the companies selling garbage systems that are so easy to hack into or overload. Someone will always make these tools, whether in their basement, or in some NSA lab or corporate espionage operation.

Just search for it? LOL.

Usually with these articles they put a ad-link for some revenue.

Oh good, another tool for criminals.

Do you say the same thing when you see a screwdriver? ;)

Why would you want to make people's lives unpleasant?

I didn’t do it to anyone else. All devices involved belong to me.

Also the device is useful for other things. It can be easily used for abuse but it can also be used for lots of cool stuff for personal, non abusive uses. It can be used as a remote shutter for the iPhone camera via Bluetooth, for example.

Ironically they still have their mobile app in the apple app store

Why wouldn’t it be? This “hack” actually requires you to install non official firmware into the flipper zero.
