24C3: Bluetooth Stuff

1 Comment

Hi there! Greetings from 24C3, the annual hacker meeting of CCC. Some updates on Bluetooth related stuff:

Balle released a new version of bluediving, now available in version 0.9.

A funky new tool has been released at this congress: bluedrift. What driftnet is for ethernet, bluedrift is for Bluetooth. Using a special Bluetooth dongle which is capable of being flashed, you are now able to automatically sniff Bluetooth traffic and extract OBEX data, e.g. electronic vcards or pictures, from your sniff.

Another project I didn’t know before is the Wave Bubble by ladyada: “A design for a self-tuning portable RF jammer”

Best cite of the congress: “MIT doesn’t teach you how to fuck GSM-Networks” — Ladyada

iPhone’s Bluetooth Bug and the Metasploit Framework

1 Comment

As balle already pointed out, there is a major Bluetooth Bug in iPhones. The SDP-Service can be exploited to execute arbitrary code. The funny thing with iPhones is, that even when Inquiry Scan is disabled (“hidden Bluetooth device”) it’s easy to find out the Bluetooth Address of an iPhone: The WiFi-address is the Bluetooth address incremented by one. When you know the MAC Address of the iPhone, you also know the Bluetooth address.

Another interesting thing: The Metasploit Framework about to be ported to the iPhone. All the applications seem to run as UID 0 on the iPhone – this is going to be fun!

Write your own CSR Firmware!

8 Comments

Darkircop have released their tools for reverse engineering CSR Firmware. The tools include a disassembler dis.c for disassembling official firmware. An assembler as.cc for writing your own firmware is also included. With these tools you are now able to write your own firmware for your CSR based Bluetooth Dongle, which might even include raw access for Bluetooth sniffing. The source code for sniffing Bluetooth under Linux included, too.

It might even be possible to port the techniques for finding hidden Bluetooth devices described in this paper onto a CSR dongle. In the paper GNU Radio with USRP was used. The source code used for this attack can be downloaded, too.
