Bluetooth hacking
Yea, I know this is old news to some people but I'm just starting to get into bluetooth hacking because I just realized the potential it has.
The ability to enter any bluetooth enabled phone and gain access to the phone numbers, calander, pictures, even make phone calls without actually having the phone on hand are just a few of these benefits.
Upon doing some research I found out about the piconet which is basically a personal web of useage and a scatternet which is a web of piconets that are connected. Each piconet has 1 master, up to 7 slaves, and up to 200 passive users. While bluetooth tools are being used something called hci packets are what is used to transfer the information. I've found several random linux applications which are wonderful in the sense that they help you record, decrypt, and log hci packets.
Bluesniff is a good little program if you feel like listening in on Bluetooth conversations
BlueZ is a protocol stack for linux based systems.
A good site to go to is the bluetooth security database if you just want to know the newest crap about the security issues associated with bluetooth.
I didn't know about any of this till a friend of mine showed me a few things about bluetooth hacking. I won't release his name but I will tell you what I saw. We were chilling in the downtown of my local area, mainly sitting on this big campus thats near my house, cough cough...Well anyway he pulls out this laptop and runs a few programs that he wrote himself. Pointing out that he has a usb bluetooth adapter. Using his computer we pirated the signal off of a cellphone that was in one of the dorms, not sure which one, but he used the calculator feature built into his os which is some random version of linux as well as a plug-in which turned his calculator into the digits of a phone. We then proceeded to make a phone call from his laptop using a cheap headset. He explained to me that he was taking control of the piconet making his laptop the master and the phone a slave. He then showed me how he could easily access the phone book, call log, everything. I know this is easy to do, but the things he used gave him access to the phone within 10 minutes.
I'm gonna try to get ahold of the programs and get some links out there because, from what I've seen, none are larger than a mb and theres only 3 programs he used. Thats all I have for right now, I know, it seems like someone suffering from ADD wrote that, but my mind is all over the place right now, so much going on.

Hey, that's totally cool! I'm wondering if any of the programs are for Windows O/S???
lexiferonfire@yahoo.com
The programs that my friend wrote were for windows that had the .NET update. The reason I found this so unique is because I've yet to see any other windows bluetooth hacking utilities. Chances are that you won't be able to find any windows applications online that will allow you to hack bluetooth devices but you could always use a live linux cd if you want to use linux, but not permanently have it installed.
hey, you got the programs now?I would be more than glad to have those!!!
ever get around to getting the programs from him? i would love to have them :)
