Flipper Zero: The Unleashing Power of Bluetooth

Flipper Zero Possesses Ability to Crash iOS 17 iPhones, but There is a Solution to Thwart the Attack

Flipper Zero can crash iOS 17 iPhones, but there’s a way to stop it

Imagine a humble little device, packed with surprises, capable of doing tasks you never thought possible. Well, meet the Flipper Zero. This pocket-sized powerhouse will blow your mind, and maybe just crash your iPhone while it’s at it. Yes, you heard it right – the Flipper Zero can bring an iPhone to its knees with just a little Bluetooth magic. Talk about having power at your fingertips!

Oh, but don’t worry, you can’t do this with a regular old Flipper Zero. To execute this tech stunt, you’d need to have a special one loaded with an early developer build of Xtreme third-party firmware. Think of it like giving your Flipper Zero superpowers.

Once you’re equipped with the right software, it’s time to unleash the chaos. Enter the Apple BLE Spam app, where you can choose the oh-so-friendly “Lockup Crash” attack. As the name suggests, it lives up to its notoriety by locking up and crashing iPhones. It’s like a digital masterlock that jams the iPhone’s circuits, rendering it useless. Now that’s what we call a denial-of-service (DoS) attack!

Our friends at ENBLE put this to the test, and they can confirm that an iPhone running the latest iOS 17.0.3 is no match for the powerful Flipper Zero. However, older versions of iOS seem to dodge this devilish attack. Looks like the older generation still knows how to keep its cool.

But wait, there’s more! The Apple BLE Spam app won’t settle for just crashing phones. It’s capable of initiating an array of other annoying pairing attacks. It’s like a swarm of Bluetooth spam, bombarding the unsuspecting iPhone user. Will these attacks evolve into something even more sinister? Only time will tell.

Now, how can you protect yourself from this Bluetooth bombardment? Well, my friend, there’s only one foolproof method for now: turn off Bluetooth. Go ahead and dive into your Control Center, disable it there, and watch as your iPhone breathes a sigh of relief. Just remember, this solution is temporary, as Bluetooth will activate itself the next day. For a more enduring fix, head to “Settings > Bluetooth” and flip that toggle off.

So, there you have it, tech enthusiasts. The Flipper Zero, a device that can bend Bluetooth to its will and wreak havoc on iPhones. It’s a reminder that even in our advanced technological world, there are still surprises waiting to be unleashed.
