In the “official” Bluetooth blog, they talk about the BLE pairing mechanism, and how during phase 2 (authentication) the exchange of keys are used to protect against MITM attacks. I don’t see how that is possible.

I’m thinking about man-in-the-middle attacks on a BLE connection … normally when people talk about MITM attacks it’s a separate device that sits between the mobile phone/tablet and the BLE device, which immediately limits its effectivene… Continue reading Intercepting Bluetooth LE communication with an app on the same mobile device
crackle is a tool to crack Bluetooth Smart Encryption (BLE), it exploits a flaw in the pairing mechanism that leaves all communications vulnerable to decryption by passive eavesdroppers. crackle can guess or very quickly brute force the TK (temporary k… Continue reading crackle – Crack Bluetooth Smart Encryption (BLE)
Tools like nmap are able to identify the make of a device based on it’s hardware address. Is there a tool, or some kind of a reference to identify the make of a Bluetooth Low Energy device based on its hardware address?
… Continue reading Is it possible to find the manufacturer of a BLE device from it’s hardware address?
I am delivering a lecture on Cyber-safety Basics. I want to start off a lecture by involving the audience to get their attention.
Example: I want to ask everyone to connect their cell phones to a Wifi hotspot and then get in… Continue reading Can I start off Cyber Safety seminar by stunning the audience, like getting into their phone’s Wifi/Bluetooth to access a folder and show them?
I’m using my cellphone to connect my laptop to the web.
I think connecting my cellphone to my laptop with a USB cable would be the safest connection but if I go wireless, is it safer to connect to my cellphone with Bluetooth tethering or w… Continue reading Security of Bluetooth tethering vs. Wi-Fi hotspot

I am preparing a project for a client. It is a wireless device to be used inside a factory so the workers can interact with the factory without having to go to a terminal. In order to connect the device to the system easily I… Continue reading Security of Wi-Fi vs Bluetooth
In a previous episode of Hackaday, [Rich Olson] came up with a new no-etch circuit board fabrication method. And now, he’s put it to the test: building an nRF52 Bluetooth reference design, complete with video, embedded below.
The quick overview of [Rich]’s method: print out the circuit with a laser printer, bake a silver-containing glue onto the surface, repeat a few times to get thick traces, glue the paper to a substrate, and use low-temperature solder to put parts together. A potential drawback is the non-negligible resistance for the traces, but a lot of the time that doesn’t matter and …read more
