BTCrack 1.1 is ready! I named it BTCrack Heisec release, because I released it during the Security Conference of Heisec
BTcrack is a pairing handshake cracker against Bluetooth 1.0 – 2.0 for more information please resort to the Paper by Shaked and Wool and the website listed at the end of this E-mail.
In cooperation with PicoComputing (http://www.picocomputing.com/) we added FPGA support to BTCrack 1.1 and increased the Software speed by 15% reaching 200.00 keys per second on a stock P4-Dual Core 2.0ghz
Version 1.1 :
[+] Added Priority Control
[*] Fixed splash bug
[+] Added FPGA Support
[+] Speed increase (15%)

De-bricking your Bluetooth Dongle
Playing around with bccmd
and your CSR based Bluetooth Dongle you might end up with your dongle being a tiny little brick. At least that’s what happened to me three times. Having these little bricks laying around I wondered if it’s possible to repair them. Continue reading De-bricking your Bluetooth Dongle

Hackers on a Plane
For those with enough leave days left and 1337 EUR/$ in the pocket: Hackers on a Plane brings you to the probably two most important hacker events in 2007: DefCon in Las Vegas and CCCamp2007 at the Finow airport near Berlin. This travel is brought to you by the Hacker Foundation. 😉
OpenPCD arrival
Yesterday my OpenPCD did arrive.
OpenPCD is a free hardware design for Proximity Coupling Devices (PCD) based on 13,56MHz communication. This device is able to screen informations from Proximity Integrated Circuit Cards (PICC) conforming to vendor-independent standards such as ISO 14443, ISO 15693 as well as proprietary protocols such as Mifare Classic. Contactless cards like these are for example used in the new electronic passports.
The intention of the OpenPCD project is to offer the users full hardware control of the RFID signal and to provide different output signals for screening the communication. With already existing Free Software from the OpenMRTD project for implementing the PCD side protocol stack of various RFID protocols, this project will happily extend the free toolchain around RFID verification.
Hopefully I will have some time next week to take a close look.
