Proving Ground, Wed, Aug 7, 17:00 - Wed, Aug 7, 17:25 CDT
This research explores the use of the Linux D-Bus as an investigative vehicle for understanding and cataloguing the Bluetooth landscape. Exploration begins with an assessment of the protocol’s basics, the topography of existing toolsets, and a determination of where/how to launch our probe of the environment. After discerning limitations and establishing initial instruments, we review the pain-points perceived along with lessons learned in development of these skills. The review of Bluetooth research ranges from scanning to discovery of devices, their enumeration, and their interaction with potential objects. Device investigations include the BLE CTF, custom made servers, and unknown devices found in the wild. The research is done using Python, the BlueZ library, and the Python dbus library.
