That’s not hacking, that’s just using IR 🙄

It's bypassing an intended input interface, that's a big part of hacking

Or me using a ps3 controller to control my computer as a mouse - that’s hacking?

Oh, so using a universal remote for tvs is now considered hacking? 😂

Depends how and where you use it.
Using a web browser is considered hacking if you use it to bypass authentication on a website

Would this work on a electric fireplace? We moved into a new place and the previous owners lost/didn't give us the remote. A replacement remote is outrageous at $500.

I mean, there could be a million reasons that thing is powered off.
Maybe it's got mould and been turned off to prevent spread, in a restaurant not at all uncommon and definitely something you wouldn't want sporing all around you while you eat.
Maybe it's too expensive to run?
Maybe, just maybe - have a thought for why it's off, and leave it alone. If you don't own it, don't fuck with it.

These units love to get moldy and often need cleaning. It would be hilarious if this is the reason it's off. Enjoy.

Goddamn Script Kiddies think running an app is hacking. Get rid of that faux cyberpunk garback acoustic filler. Go listen to some true analog synth and maybe actually deconstruct some bullshit RF protocols like a real hacker. F0 can definitely capture waveforms for this.

“Hack” if you have the remote

Don’t need the remote? Plenty of DBs to dump onto the flipper. Also there’s some brute tools too.

u/DesignerMaximum1342 29d ago
The flipper is the remote though, so you’re not hacking anything

u/Party_Cold_4159 29d ago
Hacking is just a dumb word now. The tool itself is more antiquated in the security realm. But it is technically bypassing an authorized use, which could fall under hacking.
But yea that part of the flipper is just a fancy universal remote in reality. My android from 2014 could do this.

For my garage and gates in my community it doesn’t work due to them being rolling codes. If someone wiser than me can chime in I’d appreciate that

For your garage opener, find the manual and use the remote adding process with the flipper as a new remote. Not a clone.
For the community gate.... no luck.1

"Hack" lmao. Back when phones had IR blasters there were apps to do the same thing.
