The BLE Spam app offers users eight distinct flood attack options, enabling various applications. Although the latest firmware is still in development, the “spam attack” is now accessible through an application called ‘BLE Spam,’ available on GitHub.Īccording to Bleeping Computer, prominent YouTuber ‘Talking Sasquach’ took the development firmware for a spin on his Flipper Zero and confirmed that the attack works seamlessly on both Windows and Android platforms. The Flipper Xtreme community recently announced a major addition to their firmware: “spam attacks.” They even demonstrated via their Discord channel that these attacks can create chaos by rendering a Samsung Galaxy device unusable.
These spam attacks utilize Flipper Zero’s wireless capabilities to send out fake advertising packets to devices within range, overwhelming them with pairing and connection requests. Inspired by a security researcher’s similar feat on Apple iOS devices, this development sheds light on the untapped potential of Flipper Zero. The Flipper Zero community is excited as the ‘Xtreme’ custom firmware introduces a new capability: Bluetooth spam attacks on Android and Windows devices.
