About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

<h1> What Is Flipper Zero?

In the world of modern technology, hackers have an array of tools available to them to gain access to personal and business data. One such tool is Flipper Zero, an open-source device created to interact with access control systems. Here, we’ll explore what Flipper Zero is, how it can be used for hacking, and some tips on how organizations can protect themselves from falling victim to attacks related to the use of Flipper Zero.

 

<h2> What Is Flipper Zero?

Created by Pavel Zhovner and Alex Kulagin, Flipper Zero is a portable device that combines all the hardware tools needed for pen testing. According to the official website, Flipper Zero is intended to inspire the exploration of systems and gamify development projects. Weighing in at 100 grams and smaller than the average smartphone, Flipper Zero has a range of up to 50 meters and is packed with a wide range of radios and sensors that can intercept and gain access to basically any device that communicates wirelessly, such as RFID badges, IoT sensors, Near-field Communication (NFC) cards, and more.

 

<h2> Flipper Zero Features

Flipper Zero has a number of features, and ones that can make it particularly attractive to hackers. Though not an exhaustive list, its features include:

  • An ARM processor
  • Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity
  • An infrared processor
  • A library of common TV vendor command sequences
  • MicroSD for data storage
  • Firmware flashing tool
  • Fuzzing tool

 

<h2> Why Is Flipper Zero a Security Concern?

Flipper Zero is a security concern because of its capability to access and manipulate any wireless device. Thanks to its easily concealable size and wide range, Flipper Zero can be used by hackers to bypass authentication methods to gain unauthorized access to restricted areas or confidential information without being detected.

 

<h2> Is Flipper Zero Legal?

Short answer, yes. All the hardware in Flipper Zero is legal, but its legality is linked to its usage. Using it for legitimate testing and research is legal, but using it for nefarious reasons is not. As Flipper Zero is relatively new to the market, there is not enough data to show if it has been used to commit a crime, but organizations should be aware of the potential risks associated with its use.

 

<h2> How Can Organizations Defend Against Flipper Zero Attacks?

Organizations need to be aware that these devices exist and understand how they work to minimize potential risks. To improve security posture to help protect against attacks related to Flipper Zero, organizations should:

  1. Install advanced security systems such as biometric authentication systems, which are more difficult to bypass.
  2. Educate personnel on phishing and other cyber threats and the importance of cybersecurity best practices, to ensure their awareness of these risks.
  3. Ensure that staff use secure access tokens such as RFID cards or NFC tags with a personal identification number (PIN) when accessing company premises.
  4. Monitor employee activity and configure systems so only authorized personnel can change or update operational networks and devices.
  5. Regularly review security policies and procedures to ensure they remain current with the latest threats and technologies for optimal protection against attacks related to Flipper Zero.

 

<h2> Bottom Line: Flipper Zero

Flipper Zero is a powerful and portable device, which can be used for legitimate testing and research but is also a potential risk in the wrong hands. Organizations need to be aware of its capabilities and put measures in place to protect against attacks related to it. Implementing advanced security systems, educating personnel on phishing, using secure access tokens, monitoring employee activity, and regularly reviewing security policies will provide the most effective defense against these threats. In this way, organizations can reduce their vulnerability to any malicious activity associated with Flipper Zero.
