Here's an interesting article on Blue tooth security:
http://ntrg.cs.tcd.ie/undergrad/4ba2.05/group15/index.html
There was also a story circulating awhile back about the ability to transmit
radio directly into someone's car stereo with a directional antenna. I'm
sorry that I can't recall the details but I found it amusing that you can
mess with someone by having whatever you want coming out their radio ... not
truly a "real" security issue but amusing none the less.

Subject: Bluetooth Pentesting?
Greetings,
Does anyone on this list do bluetooth pentesting? I have read tons of old
posts and found plenty of tools to do a few different things. However, I
do not find any of it to be overly useful. Most of the tools out there
seem to be aimed at certain cell phones or are very specific. I am trying
to find out what the risks are of all kinds of devices. I have found
btscanner to be pretty good at detecting devices but it doesn't do too
much other than detect it. I can scan and pickup 150+ devices and the
Vulnerable to: section is always the same.. blank. Are all the bluetooth
devices I find so super secure? I pick up cars, phones, PDAs, computers,
keyboards, etc. Are there really no risks with these devices?
Is there a better/good tool out there that can really find various
bluetooth devices and tell me what -real- risks might be associated with
them -- on top of that.. is there a good tool for trying to pull data or
use these devices? Example: a dell or mac laptop has bluetooth on, or a
Treo with it on.. what are the possible risks? What tools can actually
test if authentication is required for connecting with these devices.. or
whether I can bruteforce it or connect at all?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciate and I am really trying to do
something more than just "detect" bluetooth devices. I need to know if
there are risks here.
Thanks
