War Nibbling: Bluetooth Insecurity

Today I had a chance to read an interesting paper on the insecurities of bluetooth. @stake published a paper called War Nibbling: Bluetooth Insecurity which goes into detail discussing the protocol's design and implementation flaws. Well worth the read in itself.

On top of that, today they released Redfang - The Bluetooth Hunter, a information gathering tool which exploits the weaknesses found in their paper.

Interesting stuff. Happy reading!
