Not OP but I still use mine quite frequently.

- My family’s old subhz car keys are dying so I cloned it & use the flipper when the real one doesn’t work. It’s a car from before the 2000s so no security whatsoever.

- Apartment, lift, gym rfid. Don’t need to bring multiple sets of cards

- IR is also helpful as a backup while I procrastinate going out and buying batteries for some remotes.




I thought many gym and apartment key fobs can’t be replicated due to rolling keys. Has this been addressed or flipper works on older fobs?


Rolling keys is more of an RF thing, fobs are NFC or RFID (rolling key is still vulnerable to a simple replay attack).

For NFC/RFID it depends entirely on the card. You can easily clone Mifare Classic, but on newer ones there's no way I know of, and the software does not (yet) have support for Legic (which has been broken for over a decade).


I’m in Malaysia. We still think RFID is a new thing
