My first pentest (but also-)
First, I apologize about my DOA jokey joke.
Second, I'm interested in using Flipper 0 for two main reasons.
The first, even though it's not perhaps the most logical-sounding reason, is that I've lost my transit card so many times, sometimes even while in transit.
(I've tried everything, I'm a menace, they still get lost even when I don't lose anything else!!)
It especially sucks when I just put some funds on there and it goes missing.
I know that the Flipper 0 can "copy" and emit the RFs of RFID security keys that don't use rolling codes. What I don't know is if a rolling code system is what a transit card uses. (Don't smite me pls I don't know what I don't know yet!)
The second reason, which usually usurps all others, (except for today when I lost my card yet again in a very stressful situation,) is this:
I have been considering getting into pentesting as a hobby and maybe a side gig for a while. It seems like a great way to challenge myself and learn things, and to explore my environment through the RFs around me.
So those are the two main reasons why I'd want to get a 🐬.
There are many more small reasons, but most of them boil down to, "this sounds fun."
I know basically nothing about pentesting so far (pls don't kill me,) but I have a family member who can help introduce me, and when I get into something interesting I tend to absorb it fairly quickly. So learning would be perhaps not breezy, but definitely doable.
BUT I would hold off for a while on buying one if I can't "clone" my transit cards and use them effectively.
And no, I wouldn't lose a Flipper 0 the same way I'd lose a transit card. I don't lose anything else I have in my hands or pockets the same way- phones, wallet, pens, even other cards. I don't know what exactly makes transit cards special (or CURSED) but... [OBLIGATORY PRE-EMPTIVE DEFENSE STATEMENT OVER]
Anyone have any exp with public transit cards?
(Also- I know I could get a hack RF for way cheaper but I think I'd rather wait and spend the money on a 🐬 for my other reasons- unless someone has a great reason why- and I am open to that!)
