From Concept to Bench - Designing a Flipper-compatible nRF24L01 RF Module for Security Research

    Six months of design iterations, sourcing headaches, and a broken oscilloscope later — I am pleased to share a hardware module I designed to extend the Flipper ecosystem for RF security research. This write-up covers the motivation, engineering challenges, capabilities, and responsible-disclosure principles behind the project — and a frank look at a vulnerability that is very much alive in the Maldives today.   Left: 3D render of final PCB     ·     Right: Altium Designer PCB layout view Why I Built It  The trigger was reading the original MouseJack disclosure by Bastille Networks. It made me realize that a class of peripherals most people assume to be harmless — the cheap wireless mouse on your desk — can be weaponized from a car park. I wanted a research platform small enough to carry in a jacket pocket, native to the Flipper Zero ecosystem, and capable of passive scanning, protocol analysis, and controlled lab tests. What I...

My first Micro-controller program and this is how it was started.

I always have interest in electronics and i think in 1994 i got an physics book from some where that i don't remember now. Everyday after school i read it and got more interested on it even though i don't understand what its all about. Day by day small radios are disassembled and experimented how it works and able to fix the issues. When i was in grade eight till ten i don't have any interest in studying any subject that i feel useless. More and more focus to physics and math but 99% is always physics specially the electronics chapters. Couple of friends from school know that i know electronics some how and we share what we built and ideas. Those days Internet or PC is not available for me but a friend have i PC and i used to visit him and he knows some computer skills. we spent time on dial-up Internet in IRC. :) One day my physics teacher asked me do you like electronics? i said yes i do and i want to learn more. So he told if you love electronics i can help you t...

Clover Display M302 hack

Its been a while i have this LCD and today i thought of connecting the LCD display to Arduino. Unfortunately i could not found any pin outs of this from any where and from the manufacture. Actually this is very old model which i got from old FAX machine and this display is a very cheap from online sources. Clover Display M302 PCB Ver 1.0 (16x2) which has 10 pin flat cable. After researching for a while from the internet i have seen in many forums people are asking for help on how to connect it and what is the pin configurations? so i thought of helping them as well as my self at the same time. After going through some of my old collections of Russian data of displays and things i found a basic diagram of how 10 pin LCD display configuration.  PIN1   - VSS PIN2   - VDD PIN3   - CONTRAST PIN4   - RS PIN5   - R/W PIN6   - ENABLE PIN7   - DB4 PIN8   - DB5 PIN9   - DB6 PIN10 - DB7 I tried these configuration...
