1A. Scan and import tag via ESP32 with BLE. Use the Airtag scanner ESP32 firmware and Flipper app.

1. Pair a Tag: First, pair an AirTag, Samsung SmartTag or Tile Tracker with your device.
2. Enter 'Lost' Mode: Keep the tag away from the device it's registered to for approximately 15 minutes.
3. Download nrfConnect or use an ESP32 Install nrfConnect from the Google Play Store. (Apple version doesn't reveal the needed Raw data, looking for a workaround)
4. OR Use an ESP32-WROOM / ESP32-S3 Don't have an android? No problem! You can get all the data you need from an ESP32: https://github.com/MatthewKuKanich/ESP32-AirTag-Scanner (Skip to step 7 if using an ESP32)
5. Filter and Scan:
   • Open the app, click on filters, and exclude all except for the brand of your tag (Apple/Samsung).
   • Adjust the RSSI to the lowest setting (-40 dBm).
   • Initiate a scan. Wait for your SmartTag to appear as a "FindMy" device.
6. Capture Data: Click Raw or View Raw to capture your payload and note your tag's MAC Address. Immediately remove the tag's battery to prevent key/MAC rotation.
   • The AirTag has now been cloned, if you put the battery back into the AirTag it will eventually rotate its keys with the Apple servers. This will invalidate the current keys on the Flipper. To prevent this you must keep the AirTag powered off / battery removed. You can always repeat these steps to return functionality to the Flipper. No need to get rid of the AirTag, you can always return to it if you desire, you just can't use both at the same time.
7. Enter Data in FlipperZero App: Input the captured payload and MAC Address into the FlipperZero app.

Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed on your system:

• Docker Desktop
• Python
• Git

Navigate to Matthew KuKanich's GitHub repository, copy the repository URL, and clone it to your desired location using the terminal.

git clone https://github.com/MatthewKuKanich/FindMyFlipper.git

Inside the cloned repository, locate the 'air tag generation' folder which contains all necessary files for creating AirTags.

Ensure Docker Desktop is running on your computer, as it is required for the server setup.

Run the following Docker command to set up the server. This server emulates an environment that tricks Apple's authentication servers.

docker run -d --restart always --name anisette-v3 -p 6969:6969 dadoum/anisette-v3-server:latest

Navigate to the AirTag generation directory, then create and activate a Python virtual environment. You will run all scripts in this terminal.

cd AirTagGeneration

python3 -m venv venv

(or python -m venv venv)

Activate the environment:

• Windows:

.\venv\Scripts\activate.bat

• Mac/Linux:

source venv/bin/activate

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Run the generate_keys.py script in the current terminal to generate the keys needed for AirTags, which will be saved in a new folder called 'keys'.

Move the '.Keys' file to your Flipper device by connecting it to your computer and using the Flipper's file management system.

• For ease of use, drag your .keys file onto your FlipperZero's SD card in the apps_data->findmy folder. You can import it directly from the app!
  1. Open the app and navigate to the config menu.
  2. Choose "register tag" and select the tag type.
  3. Either click import .keys, .txt, or enter Manually.
  4. If entering manually then a MAC and payload dialog will appear next. Enter your MAC then Payload here.
  5. Click save.

Use the request_reports.py script to request real-time location data, requiring your Apple ID and password for authentication. This will save your Apple login information to a auth file so you won't need to re-enter your Apple credentials.

Finally, run the RequestReport&Map.py script to generate an interactive map of all location data in the past 24 hours. This script automates the process by requesting the location report using the hashed adv key in your keys folder, then decrypting that data from your private key located in the same .keys file. After the data is decrypted it will be displayed in the terminal. It then launches a mapping script that maps all the coordinates, connects them to show movement, displays a plethora of location metadata, and saves to an html file named by the date of the report.

You're done!

• If you want to use OpenHaystack or Macless instead, then you can follow the steps below. I don't recommend these methods due to reliability issues and setup complexity. To use OpenHayStack for tracking, you must use MacOS lower than version 14 (Mail Plug-in Incompetiablity of MacOS 14+ seemoo-lab/openhaystack#224). If you do own a device, I believe a convertor script can be provided without much of effort. If you do not own a Mac device or the system has been upgraded to 14 and beyond. The alternative solutions includes,

  https://github.com/dchristl/macless-haystack

If using this solution, be sure to only use the generate_keys.py script from this repo in the AirTagGeneration folder. Not the ones included in that repo as the formatting of the key file changes. (Mine includes data that the FlipperZero needs for proper importing)
