Ubertooth One : A Bluetooth Network Hacking Tool

Ubertooth One is a cheap, open-source Bluetooth network sniffer. Unlike Wi-Fi, which has had a wide range of free network monitoring tools for years, Bluetooth has remained pretty closed. Michael Ossman is about to change this, with his Ubertooth Kickstarter project.

Types Of Bluetooth Hacks And Its Security Issues

 Bluetooth technology has been around for some time now, but it has been made popular courtesy its widespread use in mobile phones. But as cellular technology continues to out pace its predecessors rapidly, Bluetooth is now considered a ‘basic' feature of a cell phone and its widespread availability has given rise to its misuse just like all contemporary communication channels and technologies.


However, security issues arising from Bluetooth are relatively less publicised, possibly due to less critical nature of information at stake - an individual's cell phone data against corporate data thefts and associated hard losses. Nonetheless, with respect to personal privacy and perimeter security, an insecure Bluetooth device or technology can pose serious risk of information compromise.
