Recently I spent a few days in a hospital with my mom whom had open heart surgery and of course I brought along my Flipper Zero along with other tools and gadgets.

I was shocked at all the access this little device could and did give me access to.

From Sub-GHz, rfid, evil portal and more… and yes I turned the TV’s on and Back To The Future was playing!

Let us begin by telling you what the Flipper Zero is and how it can take over most hospitals.

 

**The Flipper Zero: A Powerful Tool for Hackers, But Should It Be Allowed in Hospitals?**

 

The Flipper Zero is a tiny, open-source, Linux-based computer that is designed for hackers, makers, and electronics enthusiasts. It is portable, pocket-sized, and loaded with features, making it a powerful tool for a variety of tasks, including:

 

* Scanning for and decoding RFID tags

* Analyzing wireless networks

* Interacting with embedded systems

* Developing custom hardware and software

 

The Flipper Zero is also capable of performing some basic hacking tasks, such as exploiting vulnerabilities in wireless networks and RFID systems. This has led to concerns that the Flipper Zero could be used to compromise the security of hospitals.

In fact, there have already been reports of people using the Flipper Zero to gain unauthorized access to hospital systems. For example, in one case, a security researcher used the Flipper Zero to bypass the security of a hospital’s Wi-Fi network and access patient records.

These incidents have raised questions about whether the Flipper Zero should be allowed in hospitals. Some hospitals have banned the device, while others have allowed it but with strict restrictions.

There are a number of arguments in favor of banning the Flipper Zero from hospitals. First, the device is a powerful hacking tool that could be used to compromise the security of hospital systems. Second, the device is small and easy to conceal, making it difficult to detect. Third, the device could be used to steal patient information or disrupt hospital operations.

However, there are also a number of arguments in favor of allowing the Flipper Zero in hospitals. First, the device can be used for legitimate purposes, such as testing the security of hospital systems. Second, the device can be used by security researchers to identify and fix vulnerabilities. Third, the device can be used by hospital staff to learn about hacking and how to protect against it.

Ultimately, the decision of whether or not to allow the Flipper Zero in hospitals is a complex one. There are a number of factors to consider, including the potential risks and benefits of the device. Each hospital will need to make its own decision based on its own unique circumstances.

If you are considering bringing a Flipper Zero to a hospital, it is important to be aware of the potential risks and to take steps to mitigate those risks. For example, you should only use the device in areas where it is unlikely to cause harm, and you should always be careful about what information you access or modify.

It is also important to be aware of the policies of the hospital you are visiting. Some hospitals may have banned the Flipper Zero, while others may have strict restrictions on its use. It is always best to check with the hospital before bringing the device.
