DIY CYBERDECK: The company behind the popular and controversial Flipper Zero is working on a novel hardware project. Flipper's new multi-tool device will include all the "hacking" features of the previous device, while significantly extending functionality with a dedicated approach to portable computing.
After turning opsec conventions upside down with the "toy-like" Flipper Zero tool, Flipper Devices is now developing yet another "fun" project that could make a significant impact on security and customized computing projects.
The company founded by Alex Kulagin and Pavel Zhovner plans to create a "cyberdeck" of sorts, although they will likely retain the same cyber-dolphin mascot as the original device.
As explained on the project's official page, Flipper One is a community-driven effort focused on creating a capable, Linux-based mini-tool for hackers. The device would essentially work as a Linux mini-PC, with its own operating system, firmware conventions, and "app store" to customize its features and operational capabilities.
Flipper Devices is building Flipper One out in the open, and is still working on finalizing many of the device's features or specifications. In a recent interview, Zhovner announced some of the basic specs the developers have apparently chosen as the project's foundation. The device will use a Rockchip RK3576 SoC processor, which can allegedly provide better multi-core CPU performance than the Raspberry Pi 5 single-board computer.
