A new Python project called 'Wall of Flippers' detects Bluetooth spam attacks launched by Flipper Zero and Android devices.
The ability to launch Bluetooth LE spam attacks using the Flipper Zero portable wireless pen-testing and hacking tool was first demonstrated in September 2023 by security researcher 'Techryptic.
The idea was quickly adopted by other developers who created a custom Flipper Zero firmware that could launch spam attacks against Android smartphones and Windows laptops.
Developer Simon Dankelmann ported the attack to an Android app, allowing people to launch Bluetooth spam attacks without needing a Flipper Zero.
The Wall of Flippers project aims to detect attackers conducting BlueTooth LE spam attacks so people on the receiving end can respond appropriately.
