I demonstrate how to attack iPhones using a Flipper Zero and the xtreme firmware. There is an issue in iOS 17 that allows a Flipper to crash an iPhone. You probably want to disable bluetooth on your phone unless you are using it. Bluetooth can be nice, but can also cause issues.

The funny thing is, before I knew the reasons why I should turn off my Bluetooth. I always had it off because I knew that if you're not using it and it's on. It's going to make the phone get flat faster. Just about 4/6 months ago, I learnt it could actually be a security issue. This just adds to the pot.
Wow this is pretty neat for the Flipper but would also be a massive bummer if it something like this were to be deployed in a large, crowded environment. I've been an advocate against leaving bluetooth and wifi enabled when traveling with one's devices. You just never really know what you could be opening yourself up to. Thanks for the quick video!
Happened to me in public transport. I knew immediately what was happening but could not stop it anymore. Pretty annoying when you're using wireless headphones and any kid can crash your phone anytime they want.
Do you have to completely disabled BT to prevent this attack, or does disabling new connections via Control Center suffice? Also, have you tried this against Apple Watch?
i keep Bluetooth off by default unless i need it for a little while and i only connect with hidden ID/name on both device and my phone and i manually put in the ID /name
I possess two iPhones, both running on the identical OS version 17.0.3. When I attempt to disable Bluetooth using the dropdown menu, the Flipper Zero is still able to successfully crash the iPhone. It's become apparent that Bluetooth must be deactivated through the device's settings menu. Until today, I had mistakenly believed that using the dropdown menu to turn off Bluetooth would suffice, but it appears that it does not.
Once the iPhone got crashed by flipper zero does the crash effects or creates any problems with my iPhone in the future?? Cuz I just bought my new iPhone last week and got crashed my phone by one of my friends. Really pissed off rn..
This might seem like a minor hack but it's one of the the best possible hack in some situations. For example on a physical penetration test (access to a building) there's a potential to block a security guard from raising an alarm via phone - sounds obscure but something similar has been successfully used by a colleague of mine. This could be used to disrupt a pitch meeting where an iPhone is used with Google Slides - providing an advantage to an competing pitch. This also could even be used to reduce the number of people recording an unrest event with their phone, such as looting a store, making an arrest less likely. Knowledge of a wide range of exploits is essential for any hacker, it's not like the movies where someone tickles a keyboard and re-tasks a military satellite to find their dog. Hacking is often combining a wide set of minor capabilities to achieve a larger goal.
I guess if I wanted to be ad spooky ad possible (it's Friday the 13th) I could use this to disable an iPhone before I pull out my machete and attack, to enforce horror movie conventions
Many exploits starts from crashing, sometimes only then you get acces to some normally secured data. Wait a little, soon someone fgure it out how to use it in bad way. Or maybe ist already some 0day.
Hi there! I think I’ve been spammed on a flight. A week ago, I was enjoying my TV series (in airplane mode), and suddenly, a message about ‘Apple TV detection’ started to appear. After a few seconds, my phone crashed, and the two guys sitting next to me experienced the same problem simultaneously. I thought it was malware, so I turned off Bluetooth for a couple of minutes (as said I was in airplane mode, so the only connection activated was the Bluetooth...). Then, I activated it again to use the AirPods. After two more reboots, the spammer stopped attacking me. Once I came home, I searched for similar experiences on Google but without success. I initially thought it was just a bug or something, but after watching your video, I’m scared again. Is it possible that someone stole my data or passwords? So far, I haven’t noticed any suspicious access to my accounts. Should I stop worrying? Thanks

David what are your thoughts on the Cyper Pro? It's a Game Boy like Flipper Zero hacking device. I believe it also has more capabilities then the Flipper Zero.
@@funkymonk2254 I did some checking on the project before commenting.

So if turn Bluetooth of then i can't hear my earphones so turning off is wack lol lol 😊and getting attacked is worse than wack. Lol lol so we have to build a wall where we can't get attacked.
Unleashed’s bad Bluetooth feature is crazy! Bad USB but over BT. Payload is run as soon as they connect. Been playing with it for a few days. Surprising how many people attempt to connect to a ‘Wireless Bluetooth Speaker”, as I named it. Scary times!
@dontfkwithme69 basically they took a legitimate advertising packet and randomized the last three numbers so what ends up happening is that iphones are designed to accept ble pairing requests as part of that seamless experience. So when they get hit by this, it causes the processor to max out which causes it to bypass a sensor leading to the kernel going into a panic and forcing it to eventually lock up and restart.
hy can any one help please for using fluxion only tplinkAC600-High Gain adapter is sufficent or i need a another one if i need second one can i use two tplink AC600-High Gain adapter in wifi pentesting for mitm and rogue point
@david is there any way to order a flipper zero here in india? when i try to order one from the official website it says india is restricted. kindly help on this
This is awesome information for Apple to see to patch, nice demonstration. But literally just not practical, the victim would have to be on Bluetooth. Smart people leave them off until they’re ready to use such frequencies. Unless you live together pointless.
You aren’t the norm. You need Bluetooth on for AirPods, Apple Watch, insulin pumps, hearing aids etc. probably less than 2% of people turn Bluetooth off.
@@Ecto1A yeah Apple Watches also have a higher priced version for cellular options. You must not be normal yourself? Hello 👋 I And yeah I’m intelligent I use wired type-c earbuds. Wireless is for dummies gummy’s. 🤣
YOU ARE SO FAR BEHIND THE CURVE That is many updates ago. There are only 8 choices as of 10/21, and those are not only for apple, android, Samsung, Windows...aand now with swiftpairing you can send forced messages, and the best part of this is they will NEVER fix it.

Can a flipper hack a slot machine, if yes can you do that type of a video @davidbombal
What could a malicious attacker do further by crashing an iPhone?

and it's a reminder to backup my iPhone
It’s been fixed….
So what happens if you click “Pair” or “Connect” on one of those random actions?
They don’t want to disable BT by default is because they need it for their tags and other surveillance.
They also took away the 3.5mm headphones port & pushed for switching to Bluetooth headphones over wired ones

You can prevent this in the Dev settings on android
Yup, everything tech companies do to you makes you vulnerable intentionally. It's so the govt can backdoor you easily.
how to repair fix error sd card with using Linux ( Nethunter ) ?👍
So the unleash software cannot do what extreme does with the Bluetooth iPhone crash?
If you have the unleash update, can you just update over without messing up anything?
Also on unleashed
or move to another location since this Bluetooth range is not that far.
