What are the possible ways an attacker could force two paired devices to unpair? What it be any different for classic bluetooth and bluetooth smart?

There are so many nice hacks in [Joekutz]’s retro LED display project that it’s hard to know where to start. There’s his DIY LED display controlled by an Arduino UNO. To have some text or picture for the display, he’s wired the output of a Bluetooth speaker directly to the Arduino, and sends it speaker tones that encode the text to draw. And as if that wasn’t enough, he’s hacked a quartz driver board from an analog clock to use the display as a clock as well.
Let’s start with the LED matrix display, perhaps the best excuse for trying …read more
Ergonomic. Wireless. Low-latency. Minimalist. Efficient. How far do you go when you design your own open-source keyboard? Checking off these boxes and providing the means for others to do so, Redditor [reverse_bias] presents the Mitosis keyboard, and this thing is cool.
The custom, split– as the namesake implies — mechanical keyboard has 23 keys on each 10 cm x 10 cm half, and, naturally, a custom keymapping for optimal personal use.
Upper and lower PCBs host the keys and electronic circuits respectively, contributing to the sleek finished look. Key caps and mechanical switches were ripped from sacrificial boards: two Waveshare …read more
It seems like the multimeter is never easy to see during a project. Whether it’s troubleshooting a vehicle’s electrical system and awkwardly balancing the meter on some vacuum lines and the intake manifold, or installing a new solar panel and hoping the meter doesn’t fall on the ground while the leads are in both hands, it seems like there’s never a good way to see the meter while actually using it. Some meters have a small magnet and strap that can be used to hang them temporarily, but this will only get you so far.
[Alain Mauer]’s entry into the …read more

Classic Bluetooth protects its connection by keeping the pairing process secret. How does Classic Bluetooth prevent the keys from being sniffed during the pairing process? On what channel does the pairing process occur?
Lots of articles mention the importance of keeping the BD_ADDR secret as knowing it can allow an attacker to do stuff. What can an attacker really do?(Assuming that he has knowledge of the UAP + LAP but not NAP which is irrel… Continue reading What can an attacker know with knowledge of a device’s BD_ADDR?
Information regarding bluetooth sniffing is all over the place in bits and pieces.To better understand the topic,I’ve created a possible attack tree for an attacker to achieve bluetooth sniffing between a given master and all… Continue reading Possible Attack Tree for Bluetooth Sniffing?

With tools like kismet,ubertooth-follow and ubertooth-btle, is it possible to sniff all bluetooth traffic for all devices at any given point in time? From what I understand, it is not possible since you need to follow the hop… Continue reading Is Ubertooth able to sniff traffic for more than one device for both classic bluetooth and BLE?
OK, we haven’t heard of a Ford Cylon either. However, there is now a Mustang Cobra out there that has been given a famous Cylon characteristic. [Monta Elkins] picked himself up an aftermarket third brake light assembly, hacked it, and installed it on said Mustang.
The brake light assembly contains 12 LEDs, which unfortunately, are not individually addressable. Additionally, by the looks of it, the brake light housing was not meant to be opened up. That didn’t get [Monta] down though. There’s more than one way to skin a cat, but he chose to use a hot knife to open …read more
