Bluetooth Hacking: Tools And Techniques | Mike Ryan [@mpeg4codec]

Details

This talk by Mike Ryan described how to reverse engineer Bluetooth data on a variety of devices including a heart monitor, a padlock, a music listening device, a Bluetooth credit card, and a Bluetooth-controlled skateboard. Although the techniques depended on physical access to the device (attacks that did not have this access would require a protocol sniffer), it was an exciting demonstration of how to extract Bluetooth data from the device before it goes out to the air. And that said, the threat model for some Bluetooth devices (such as that credit card) should assume that someone will be handling those devices out of your sight. [Talk summery by @VirtualChrista]
