Weekly Flipper Hacks & News Roundup, August 16, 2026

Welcome back to your weekly dose of high-signal RF tampering, custom firmware updates, and bleeding-edge community tools. Here is everything noteworthy that dropped across the scene over the last 7 days!

🚀 CUSTOM FIRMWARE CORNER

1. Unleashed Firmware `unlshd-091` (Released Aug 15, 2026)

The DarkFlippers team just dropped unlshd-091, bringing the core API to 88.3 alongside massive NFC overhauls, Sub-GHz fixes, and flash optimizations:

NFC Breakthrough - Full MIFARE Ultralight AES Support:
- Complete protocol implementation: Read, unlock, write, emulate, and secure messaging.
- Crushed a whole batch of legacy NFC bugs that could destroy saved card dumps or crash the Flipper on malformed cards.
Sub-GHz & Radio Polish:
- Decode RAW in Sub-GHz finally reliably displays captured signals that the demodulator previously swallowed.
Optimized Storage:
- Squeezed even more free flash space out of the internal device footprint.

🛠️ New Unleashed Ecosystem & Web Tools

Along with the firmware release, DarkFlippers launched several powerhouse companion utilities:

📱 qUnleashed: Standalone mobile and desktop companion app for managing your Flipper, storage, and wireless settings.
🗺️ Flipper Map: Online map visualizer for your Sub-GHz wardriving files and any coordinate-tagged captures.
📡 Wi-Fi Wardriving Map: Aggregate, combine, and inspect multiple WiGLE-formatted capture logs from ESP32 Marauder and other sniffer rigs directly in your browser.
⚡️ Web ESP32 Flasher: Easy-to-use, browser-based Web Serial flasher for popular ESP32 add-on modules (Marauder, Blackmagic, etc.).

2. ARF (Automotive Research Firmware)

The car-focused ARF project by D4C1-Labs continues to turn heads with low-level radio & vehicle stack advancements:

Native 2.4 GHz Direct Test Mode: Leverages the STM32WB55 coprocessor via HCI Direct Test Mode (HCI_LE_Transmitter_Test) for raw carrier sweeps across BLE RF channels 0–39 (2402–2480 MHz) directly on internal hardware without requiring an external nRF24 board.
BLE Central Stack (lib/ble_central): Full GATT client implementation allowing FAPs to scan, enumerate characteristics, and interact with vehicle BLE modules directly.

🛠️ COMMUNITY TOOLS & APPS

1. FlipDeFlock - Counter-Surveillance & Anti-Stalking

A passive counter-surveillance site-survey suite built to pair your Flipper Zero with any ESP32 companion:

Flock & ALPR Detection: Actively sniffs Wi-Fi/BLE beacons associated with Automated License Plate Readers and surveillance cameras.
Tracker & Deauth Hunter: Flags BLE trackers following your GPS trajectory (anti-stalking) and alerts on active deauthentication floods in real time.

2. all-the-plugins (15aug2026 Tag) & Android FAP Compilation

App Subcategorization: The main plugin hub now organizes community FAPs into clean subcategories for NFC and Sub-GHz.
On-the-Go Compiling: Added official documentation and scripts for compiling .fap binaries directly on Android devices via Termux.
