It’s basically a pen testing multitool with focus on wireless media. I would highly recommend getting familiar with the local regulations (ie. FCC in the US) before obtaining and playing around with one.
The FCC doesn’t care about political philosophy when it comes to interference regs - they are happy to throw the book at you and have decades of detection equipment development to find you, if you mess with or interfere with regulated bands. For example, guitar pedal company Electro-Harmonix for slapped with a $450k fine and consent decree in 2013 for unknowingly violating FCC Part 15 regulations. Behringer was hit with a $1M fine in 2006. They don’t fuck around.
That said, I’d encourage you to learn more, maybe get involved with things like LoRa and Meshtastic. Great things for an anarchist to know about.
Bad USBs would be on there for sure. Maybe an updated version of the floppy disk (so a USB drive) that catches fire.
Stealing someone’s phone number or reading their texts.
Card skimming, though less useful these days with chip tech.
Making and running ROMs for Nintendo Switch.
Various ways to pirate besides torrents.
Product return scamming.
Jailbreaking your vehicle.
Stealing a catalytic converter.
Lots of other stuff involving the Flipper Zero.
Ok now you got me curious what is a Flipper Zero?
