Flipper Zero is a portable multi-tool that combines nine pentesting instruments inside a pendrive-sized housing. It works on its own – no computer, phone, or app required. You control everything with a five-way navigation pad on a monochrome LCD screen. Sapsan is the official distributor of Flipper Devices – every unit comes with a full 24-month warranty in Poland and English / Polish technical support.
What is Flipper Zero and what can it do?
Flipper Zero is an open-source pentester and hobbyist security device, built on top of well-known open-source projects: Proxmark, HydraNFC, Rubber Ducky and Pwnagotchi. A single housing holds nine independent modules that would normally require multiple separate tools:
- Sub-GHz transmitter (CC1101) – 315 / 433 / 868 / 915 MHz, for analysing RF remotes, alarms and garage gates
- 125 kHz RFID – read, write, clone and emulate low-frequency cards
- 13.56 MHz NFC – Mifare Classic / Ultralight / DESFire, FeliCa, ISO-14443
- Infrared transmitter – full library of remotes for TVs, air conditioning and audio
- iButton / 1-Wire – read, write and emulate Dallas (TouchMemory) keys
- BadUSB / Rubber Ducky – HID keyboard emulation over USB
- GPIO + UART/SPI/I²C – debugging, flashing and fuzzing other devices
- Bluetooth LE 5.0 – communication with the mobile app and other Flippers
- U2F token – a fully-featured hardware key for Google, Twitter, LastPass
Flipper Zero is ready to use straight out of the box – you do not need to install firmware, compile libraries or clone repositories. All protocols are pre-loaded.
Is Flipper Zero legal in Poland?
Yes – owning and using Flipper Zero in Poland is legal, as long as you operate on your own devices or have the owner's consent. Scanning your own city card, cloning your own gate remote or testing your own Wi-Fi network is not breaking the law.
The line is drawn where you start interacting with someone else's systems without permission – in that case Articles 267 and 268a of the Polish Penal Code apply (unauthorised access to information and computer systems). A full breakdown of the regulations is available in our article: Flipper Zero and Polish law – what is allowed and what is not.
How is Flipper Zero different from Flipper One?
Flipper One is the announced successor to Flipper Zero – a more powerful platform with Linux and a full SDR. It is not yet on the market and the official release date has not been confirmed. If you need a device today, Flipper Zero remains the best choice.
| Feature | Flipper Zero | Flipper One | HackRF One |
|---|---|---|---|
| Status | Available now | Announced, no release | Available now |
| Sub-GHz | TI CC1101 (4 bands) | Full SDR planned | SDR 1 MHz – 6 GHz |
| Wi-Fi | Via external module | Built-in (declared) | None |
| RFID / NFC | Yes, both bands | Yes (declared) | No |
| BadUSB | Native | Yes (declared) | No |
| System | Dedicated RTOS | Linux (declared) | Requires PC |
| Best for | Hobbyist and pentester | RF professional | SDR engineer |

Flipper Zero functions – step by step
Sub-GHz transmitter (RF)
Flipper Zero ships with a fully controllable RF platform built around the TI CC1101 chip. It captures, analyses and replays signals on the 315, 433, 868 and 915 MHz bands. The built-in library recognises most popular remote-control protocols (Princeton, CAME, Nice FLO, Keeloq and others). Full access to the radio subsystem makes it easy to build custom modules – the prototype board for Flipper Zero is the perfect starting point. Need more range? Replace the standard CC1101 with the MAXIMUS CC1101 amplifier.

125 kHz RFID – reader, writer and emulator
Read, write, clone and export low-frequency tags for further analysis. Supported cards include EM400x, EM410x, HIDProx, Indala and T5577 (universal clone card).

NFC 13.56 MHz
Full support for high-frequency NFC tags – read, save and emulate in one device:
- Read NFC cards
- Save card data to microSD for later analysis
- Write to rewritable cards
- Emulate the supported standards:
- NXP MIFARE® Classic, Ultralight®, DESFire® and others
- FeliCa™
- HID iClass (PicoPass™)
- NFC Forum (protocols 1–5)
Infrared (IR) transmitter
A fully programmable IR transceiver with a factory library of remotes for hundreds of devices – TVs, air conditioning, stereo systems, lighting.

BadUSB and keyboard emulation
Flipper Zero emulates HID devices over USB – keyboard, mouse, network card – and runs Rubber Ducky scripts straight from the SD card. Perfect for penetration testing, task automation and red teaming.

GPIO – a bridge to other electronics
The 3.3V / 5V-tolerant pins let you use Flipper as a USB bridge for SPI, UART and I²C. Use it to flash, debug and fuzz microcontrollers.

Hardware U2F token
Flipper Zero is a fully-fledged U2F key – compatible with every service that supports the standard (Google, Twitter, GitHub, LastPass and many more). Significantly stronger 2FA than SMS or email.

iButton / 1-Wire
Built-in 1-Wire contacts for reading, writing and emulating iButton keys (Dallas DS1990A, Cyfral). The same port doubles as a probe for capturing 1-Wire data.

Open source and extensibility
Flipper Zero is 100% Open-Source and Open-Hardware. Full schematics, firmware and cross-platform SDKs are available. The community has built hundreds of custom apps and firmware modifications (Unleashed, RogueMaster, Momentum) – you can install them in minutes.

Wireless connectivity
The built-in Bluetooth LE 5.0 lets you pair Flipper with the mobile app. Wi-Fi support requires an external development module – in our store you'll find Feberis Pro, the most advanced Polish-made expansion board with Wi-Fi, NRF24 and additional Sub-GHz in a single module. For basic Wi-Fi, the WiFi Devboard works well.
Which accessories are worth getting for Flipper Zero?
Flipper Zero comes with everything you need out of the box, but its real power shines through when paired with expansion modules:
- Feberis Pro – an All-in-One expansion board for Flipper Zero that radically extends what your device can do.
- MAXIMUS CC1101 – a Sub-GHz signal amplifier that significantly increases the range of the native CC1101.
- WiFi Devboard – the official Wi-Fi module from Flipper Devices, the foundation for the Marauder firmware.
- Prototype board – the base for your own GPIO modules.
- microSD card – required for most Flipper functions (saving and loading data).
- Full accessory collection – cases, antennas, cables, stickers.
How do I update the Flipper Zero firmware?
The simplest method is the qFlipper app (Windows, macOS, Linux) and the official mobile apps for Android and iOS. All of them detect the device over USB or Bluetooth, download the latest firmware and flash it with a single click.
The community also develops alternative firmware (Unleashed, RogueMaster, Momentum) with extra protocols, regions and overlays. You install them the same way – just point the app at a .tgz file instead of the official build. You can revert to stock firmware at any time, so experimenting carries no risk.
Does Flipper Zero open cars?
This question keeps coming up after popular TikTok videos. The short answer: Flipper Zero does not open modern cars. Modern car key fobs use a so-called rolling code – every code is one-time and unique. Even if Flipper captures the signal, that exact code is already invalid.
Flipper Zero is, however, perfect for studying older RF systems (simple fixed-code remotes) and for legitimate use on your own vehicle – e.g. making a backup remote for a garage gate or barrier.
What's in the box?
- 1 × Flipper Zero (colour according to the selected variant)
- 1 × USB-A → USB-C cable
Note: a microSD card is required for full functionality. It is not included in the starter kit.
