A critical Bluetooth security flaw could be exploited by threat actors to take control of Android, Linux, macOS and iOS devices. Tracked as CVE-2023-45866, the issue relates to a case of authentication bypass that enables attackers to connect to susceptible devices and inject keystrokes to achieve code execution as the victim. “Multiple Bluetooth stacks have […]
Adversaries could exploit newly discovered security weaknesses in Bluetooth Core and Mesh Profile Specifications to masquerade as legitimate devices and carry out man-in-the-middle (MitM) attacks. “Devices supporting the Bluetooth Core and Mesh Specifications are vulnerable to impersonation attacks and AuthValue disclosure that could allow an attacker to impersonate a legitimate device during pairing,” the Carnegie […]

Latest research has demonstrated a new exploit that enables arbitrary data to be uploaded from devices that are not connected to the Internet by simply sending “Find My” Bluetooth broadcasts to nearby Apple devices. “It’s possible to upload arbitrary data from non-internet-connected devices by sending Find My [Bluetooth Low Energy] broadcasts to nearby Apple devices […]
A tool made for specially scanning nearby devices[BLE,Bluetooth & Wifi] and execute our given command on our system when the target device comes in between range. NOTE:- RadareEye Owner will be not responsible if any user performs malicious activities using this tool. Use it for Learning purpose only. Installation of RadareEye : git […]
A recent research published by vulnerability testing specialists from Purdue University details a new exploit that abuses some Android operating system smartphones through the use of malicious peripheral devices (specifically through Bluetooth and USB). The application processor of almost any relatively recent smartphone model uses the AT Command Interface to launch high-level commands to the […]
A group of vulnerability testing researchers has revealed a new method to break Bluetooth’s encryption key negotiation protocol; the attack, dubbed ‘Key Negotiation of Bluetooth’ (KNOB) is possible on any device that supports the Bluetooth protocol and has required an early response from Google security teams for correction. Researchers Kasper Rasmussen and Daniele Antonioli, from […]
Bluetana takes 3 seconds to detect illegal card skimmers, unlike law enforcement agencies who can take up to 30 minutes for inspection. In 2018, the U.S. Secret Service estimated that every year, approximately $1 billion are stolen by crooks using card skimmers. This makes it over $350,000 every day and highlights the fact that it […]
Wireless protocols are not exempt from cybersecurity risks. IT security audit specialists say that more than one billion Bluetooth-enabled devices (smartphones, IoT equipment, laptops, switches, and others) present a critical vulnerability that, if exploited, would allow hackers to intercept transmitted data between two connected devices, especially smartphones. Tracked as CVE-2019-9506, this vulnerability is present in […]
A recent flaw found in Bluetooth can be used to track Bluetooth devices, which mostly include phones, laptops and other devices by Microsoft and Apple (both iOS and macOS). As per a research paper published by researchers from Boston University, the vulnerability can be used to track users and can also be exploited to leak […]
If reports from Macotakara are to be believed, the 2019 iPhone will feature dual Bluetooth audio support. The current generation of iPads and iPhones support streaming multiroom audio via AirPlay 2 speakers. Now, Apple plans to further improve Bluetooth in next-generation iPhones to allow users to stream audio to two AirPods or other audio devices […]
We are surrounded by Bluetooth radio signals and most of the devices that we see around — smartphones, wireless computer networks, and wireless earbuds — use Bluetooth transmitters for transmitting signals. However, contemporary transmitters have two problems: heavy power consumption which is why Bluetooth earbuds usually have a talk time of just 4 to 5 hours, […]
The all new Samsung Galaxy S10 family has been released by Samsung on 8th March, 2019 and despite the high price & a lazy start, the Galaxy S10 has made a record in pre-orders for Samsung in the US. When the pre-orders for Samsung Galaxy S10 family began, there were rumors and conflicting reports about […]
Data sharing apps like SHAREit and Xender have transformed the way files are shared, since their release a few years ago. The apps transfer files over wifi which is much faster compared to sending files using Bluetooth. However, a recent report by Threat Post disclosed two major vulnerabilities in the popular file sharing app, SHAREit, which […]
The flaw allows sending unauthenticated commands via Bluetooth to the scooter Although the use of smart devices has simplified many daily tasks, network security and ethical hacking specialists also emphasize that over trusting an unsafe device could be detrimental to users, even could compromise their physical integrity. This seems to be the case with electric […]
Turns out, Intel has now discovered and published a new Bluetooth vulnerability, which could help intercept and manipulate transmissions between two compatible devices. The reports say that the newly discovered vulnerability has the potential to allow cybercriminals to intercept transmissions between two affected Bluetooth-compatible devices and also to relay malicious signals back and forth between […]
The Bluetooth flaw also opens door to a man-in-the-middle attack. The IT security researchers at Israel Institute of Technology have discovered a critical security vulnerability in some implementations of the Bluetooth standard in which not all the parameters involved are appropriately validated by the cryptographic algorithm. If the vulnerability is exploited it can allow a remote attacker within the range of […]
Armis, an Internet of Things (IoT) security vendor and cyber-security firm, reports that about half a billion smart devices being used around the globe are vulnerable to a decade-old attack called DNS rebinding. It is the same firm that previously detected the presence of a BlueBorne vulnerability in the Bluetooth protocol. The company published its […]
If you are running Kali Linux and your Bluetooth is not working. Let’s fix that. It will be up and running in no time. First of all, open a terminal window. then type this command sudo lsmod | grep bluetooth This will search for “bluetooth” in the lsmod. Now you need to enable bluetooth using […]
BlueMaho is GUI-shell (interface) for suite of tools for testing security of bluetooth devices. It is freeware, opensource, written on python, uses wxPyhon. It can be used for testing BT-devices for known vulnerabilities and major thing to do – testing to find unknown vulns. Also it can form nice statistics. 1.2. What it can do? […]
BtleJuice is a complete framework to perform Man-in-the-Middle attacks on Bluetooth Smart devices (also known as Bluetooth Low Energy). It is composed of: an interception core an interception proxy a dedicated web interface Python and Node.js bindings How to install BtleJuice ? Installing BtleJuice is a child’s play. First of all, make sure your system […]
