It's rubbed me as thoroughly dishonest and fraudulent.
I know this is currently a minority position, that's why I took the time to state it.
Front page, nothing about their copy or their website says what you think it says.
They created a fast-food substitution product and have been trying to pass it off as the real thing. It's a hardware script kiddie device and that's exactly how their videos depict it.
I was always turned off by their approach since first seeing it in 2019. I've played with the device, get their facebook ads all the time, tried to change my mind about it but 5 years later I keep coming back to the same animosity towards it.
These are all easy to teach things and this thing shrouds that fact through product alienation intentionally distancing the user from any real hacker education and replacing it with animations and theatrics.
I'm cool being dismissed as a crank. They're obviously successful millionaires and I'm not.
Because of the popularity of the device, there are third parties, some less reputable than others, trying to ride their coattails. Perhaps that's what you're reacting to?
If you really need a tool that can do them all, though, I can't really argue with the utility; but I do kind of agree with the GP comment that Flipper didn't exactly do anything that hasn't been done before.
This approach isn't a cheap cop out, it is serving a genuine utility and bridging the technology to more people.
