Video 1 - A replacement for Flipper Zero - M5stack - M5stick

hello welcome to my channel I'm going to make a series of videos showing how to build a cheap alternative to The Flipper zero since it can no longer be sold if you like this kind of content about pain testing about security subscribe to this Channel first off I'm going to start talking about flippers features so let's talk a little bit about the features of the flipper zero right one of the first features that flipper has is a a radio frequency both the receiver and the transmitter that operates below 1 GHz then besides it has Wi-Fi so it can also communicate on the higher bands you know 2.4 and 5 GHz let's hit the beach for sub gahz communication it utilizes the cc1101 in our project we will use the same chip the same transceiver it also has RFID functionality it can read cards RFID and NFC modules thanks to NFC technology both low frequency and normal right and it has Bluetooth to which allows for BL attacks it also has infrared so it can turn on and off devices using this technology it supports micr SD so it's a very versatile piece of equipment in terms of NFC it uses the st25 r 3916 this chip is very much focused on credit cards it's just that it's a chip that doesn't have much connectivity support so it's a bit more complex to work with it we're going to use a slightly more flexible chip for this feature which is the pn532 and what's interesting about it is that it supports both SPI and i2c and we can already connect directly to our equipment well the equipment line we'll be using is from am5 am5 is a company focused on iot and it works with various devices using the esp32 uh I will briefly talk about each one and explain why we chose this line the M5 is a line of modular equipment and it's very interesting because all its devices there's a gpio connector on top it also has a connector referred to as Groove most devices use USB this device here that I have in my hand is the M5 stick C+ this guy is interesting because it already has Bluetooth it already has Wi-Fi and it already has infared so my plan is to use one of these devices with some additional modules so we can perform the same functionalities as flipper here we can put some kind of a shield or even directly connect boards and we have some modules that directly connect here the M5 line is pretty big so we have several different devices however most devices can do the same things with it so there's a bit of a change in capacity functionality memory this here is an M5 stick c+2 so this is the new version of this little guy essentially it has double the space and it also has double the battery life it continues with the groove connector and a USB port here it has the same features so Bluetooth Wii it also has a buzzer so it can make a a whistle it has infrared microphone this one has it to I forgot to mention we have a smaller line which is the atom line this guy is much more economical it doesn't have a display but it has the gpios in the same way there's the groove door so you can use it the memory is a bit smaller in this guy we have a slightly bigger piece of equipment which is the Cod filter this guy is cool because he it's already has a so essentially besides the SD card it has this keyboard that we can Implement some things on I found it a bit large okay I think the M5 stick is much more portable so I plan to make a project with it with one of these two here well for radio frequency we're going to use a ceil the M5 line has its own module for radio frequency however however it only works on full 33 or lower frequency so it's not that interesting for us it's also has an RFID module but this module here is not very customizable I can't do all the functions with it basically it reads and writes cards so instead of using this guy here a Groove connector after using it we will be using a pn532 which is this little board here the PN is very interesting because it's extremely flexible so if you look here at this pin out I can decide if it's going to work with the art with i2c or with SPI depending on what I set in these pins here in this case I'm going to work with i2c and then I'll connect it directly to the groove Port using the groove cable I'll be working with the cc1101 US using the gpio so basically it will be connected here and the other one will be connected over here I'll also use a Blackberry keyboard for some functionalities so as I said I intend to make something more modular so if I need the keyboard I plug in the keyboard then I'm going to try to print a 3D case to make this very modular I need something more discret tiny I just use this guy maybe with the module I need try to do something in a Snap-On way where can I dismantle and assemble my equipment and turn it into something very important and then I need a keyboard and I have this keyboard here so my idea is not to always have it with me this keyboard is interesting because it has a kiwi connector the Kiwi that I can uh transfer to the groove so I already have a cable here the groove EQ and it will use the i2c protocol as well so since my equipment has only one port and two C's we're going to be using a hubby this Hub allows me to use devices with different addresses if the equipment has the same address then I need to use a type B Hub this one is a type a hub so having different 2C addresses I can be using more than one device since we're only going to use different equipment on i2c see this solves our problem in terms of IO this guy here doesn't have a ass DC card reader so it's I'm trying to make a project to use everything in the cloud so my idea is to create an internet based loader and make a partitioning where I upload the image as I need it and then I dispose of it basically in this equipment here will be a temporary partition and a partition where the the boot withd my menu will be and my menu accesses each of the functionalities on the internet but if I need it this is a general purpose input output extender so I also connect it to the groove port and then I get more general purpose input outputs for this equipment here or any of them right so basically that's it that's why we're using this line the M5 line it's really it's pretty easy going very modular and flexible and now in the next videos I'm going to show how we can toss an image into these devices here
