The popular hacking tool, Flipper Zero, just gained even more versatility. Electronic Cats has released a new add-on board that allows the device to interface with CAN bus systems. In essence, this means that the Flipper Zero can now be used to analyze and manipulate vehicle communication networks.
This new accessory is equipped with the MCP2515 CAN controller chip, allowing you to capture, send and log CAN bus data. To make the most of this hardware, Electronic Cats has developed an open source application that allows users to easily interact with the CAN bus.
While the hardware itself is relatively simple, controlling it effectively required the creation of a dedicated app. This software allows functions such as packet sniffing and logging, making it a valuable tool for both diagnosis and detection. vehicle safety investigation.
For those looking to dig deeper, the company has also released the design files for the hardware as open source. The CAN bus add-on board is currently available for purchase from Electronic Cats at a reduced price.
This latest addition to the Flipper Zero ecosystem highlights its growing popularity as a platform for DIY projects and technical exploration.
