Legal and Disclaimers
This page collects, in full and without paraphrase, the legal and safety statements
that apply to FlipDeFlock. Where this page and the repo's own files differ, the repo
files (README.md, LICENSE, CONTRIBUTING.md, SECURITY.md) are authoritative —
this page exists for visibility, not as a second source of truth.
Passive recon only. It listens; it never transmits — no deauth, injection, or jamming. Detections are indicators, not proof: OUI-only matches are possible, not confirmed, so verify by eye. Use it only where you are authorized to.
This is architectural, not a default setting: pull requests adding transmit capability (deauth, injection, jamming, replay) are closed regardless of the use case proposed for them.
GPL-3.0-or-later — full text in LICENSE. Copyright (c) 2026 ReconGrunt and FlipDeFlock contributors.
If you distribute a modified version, publish your source under the same terms and keep the notices intact.
Bundled third-party components keep their own compatible licenses:
- esp-serial-flasher — Apache-2.0
- Nayuki qrcodegen — MIT
- jsmn — MIT
- ESP MD5 routine — BSD
See the license headers under lib/ in the repo for each.
The code is free to reuse under the GPL, but the "FlipDeFlock" name and logo are the project's identity, not part of the licensed code. Don't publish a fork, repackage, or store listing under the FlipDeFlock name or logo in a way that implies it's official. Rename your derivative — a "based on FlipDeFlock" credit is welcome. Forking on GitHub keeps the link and credit intact.
Official binaries come only from this repository's
Releases or from per-push CI
artifacts under the Actions tab — currently flipdeflock.fap (the Flipper app) and
flipdeflock_companion_esp32wroom.bin (the ESP32 companion firmware). Nothing else
is official.
Anything else distributed under this project's name is not from this project. In particular, FlipDeFlock ships no Windows
.exe,.dll,.bat, or.zip— this repository has never contained one, and nothing in FlipDeFlock runs on Windows.
If you find a third-party repository distributing something as "FlipDeFlock," report it to GitHub — see SECURITY.md.
Contributions are welcome and are covered by CONTRIBUTING.md, which sets out the DCO sign-off requirement and the project's contribution-licensing terms in full. That file is the single authoritative copy of those terms — this page won't restate or summarize it, since a second copy is how legal text drifts out of sync.
Free and open, permanently. GPL-3.0-or-later. No paid tiers, no gated detections, no feature withheld from anyone.
Donations (GitHub Sponsors, BTC/ETH/LTC/BCH) fund development and testing hardware; they never gate a feature. Details in SUPPORTERS.md.
