KTLA: High-tech, high-end car thefts in Southern California ‘an alarming new trend’

"...the suspect held up an antenna-like tool over his head while in close proximity to the house. The device was being used to amplify and intercept the signal from the key fob to the homeowner’s vehicle.

“They got the signal from the car, started it and took off,” he said. “My keys were in the kitchen. It’s not like they were at the front door. Who would’ve thought someone would come with an antenna and take your car away from you?”

Is it just me or is every demo/overview of the #FlipperZero extremely unimpressive (especially those for a mainstream audience).

I regretfully watched one such video earlier and one of the features highlighted was the ability to copy TV remote signals  ...I get it was aimed at a non-technical audience but I literally had a watch that could do that when I was a kid and to this day grandparents around the world have universal remotes with this capability...

So I want to put it out there to the #infosec community - where are the cool flipper zero #projects? And I don't mean installing #DOOM or some other quirky play thing. I want to see legit #RF #hacking, or at least using the #GPIO!

SDR Hacking advanced: Reversing and exploiting wireless communications | Sébastien Dudek | hardwear.io USA 2025

In this training, we will delve deeper into Software-Defined Radio (SDR). Unlike the 'SDR Hacking Essential' course, the goal here is to apply the techniques we've previously learned to target both basic and customized systems. This training will be organized around challenges where attendees will need to reverse both analog and digital signals to obtain flags.

LibreSDR now supported by RF Swift! 🛠️
✅ Tested on Arch Linux
✅ Running inside a VM
✅ With OBS streaming live

🤷‍♂️ Because why not test in EXTREME CONDITIONS?

We push limits so you don't have to. 💪 #RFHacking #LibreSDR #ArchLinux #WhyNot

Let Me In! 🚪

Tune to 315 MHz or 433 MHz to pick up signals from garage door openers.

Can you find the signal for your house when your housemate gets home?

It’s #ThrowbackThursday, and Evil Crow RF ($25) proves newer isn’t always better.

While a Flipper Zero offers greater versatility, Evil Crow’s dual-frequency attacks surpass Flipper’s capabilities for focused RF pentesting.

Even with PandwaRF and HackRF One bringing more firepower, sometimes the affordable OG still holds its own!

BleepingComputer is on the case:

"Flipper Zero can't be used to hijack any car, specifically the ones produced after the 1990s, since their security systems have rolling codes," Flipper Devices COO Alex Kulagin told BleepingComputer.

"Flipper Zero is intended for security testing and development and we have taken necessary precautions to ensure the device can't be used for nefarious purposes."

Canada to ban the Flipper Zero to stop surge in car thefts

The Canadian government plans to ban the Flipper Zero and similar devices after tagging them as tools thieves can use to steal cars.
