While many people may use Bluetooth every day, the majority don't know how it works or that it can be hacked. Bluetooth hacking gives a clear window into the world of the target. Nearly every device has Bluetooth capabilities, and people store a great deal of personal info on their phones and tablets. Hack their Bluetooth connection, and you may be able to access all of that data.
Although Bluetooth shares the same 2.4 GHz frequency as Wi-Fi, the properties are different because the protocols are not quite the same. There's enhanced security so that popular Wi-Fi hacking tools won't work on Bluetooth.
For one, they're continually hopping frequencies, so if you have two devices communicating over Bluetooth, they're both using an algorithm that shifts the frequency many times per second. That means we can't merely sit on one frequency and listen because they're going to be hopping all over the place. It makes it difficult for an attacker to listen in on the conversation in the first place.
- Don't Miss: How Mr. Robot Hacked Bluetooth
Another property is that Bluetooth doesn't negotiate a key every single time like Wi-Fi does, where it's easy for anyone to join and leave the Wi-Fi network. Instead, Bluetooth negotiates a key once at the beginning, stores the secret key, and then refers to it every time it sees the same device. That means it's impossible to sit there and sniff the key because you need to be there the first time these devices communicate. Otherwise, you're not going to get anything useful, and it's impossible to jump into the conversation the way you can with Wi-Fi.
However, we can still track nearby Bluetooth devices, read from them, and even write specific characteristics. Because of that, it's useful to do the reconnaissance in case we can either take control of the device, identify a vulnerability, or find a vulnerability later that matches up with one that's nearby.
What You'll Need for Bluetooth Recon
To begin Bluetooth surveillance, you'll need a fully updated version of Kali Linux installed because we're going to be using Bluetooth tools that are built-in. To keep things super basic, we're not installing anything extra, and we can just work with the Bluetooth tools that Kali Linux has by default.
The built-in tools we'll be covering below include hciconfig, hcitool, sdptool, l2ping, and btscanner. Many of these tools are included in BlueZ, the default Bluetooth protocol stack in nearly every version of Linux, including Kali. (We will also use some specialized tools for Bluetooth recon in Kali.)
Of course, we have to be in fairly close proximity to hack Bluetooth. With an excellent Bluetooth adapter, which is needed, you should be able to reach Bluetooth devices in a coffee shop, school classroom, office, and maybe even into a neighbor's house.
Step 1: Enable Your Bluetooth Adapter with hciconfig
If you're familiar with ifconfig for Wi-Fi cards and adapters, there is another tool that is similar for Bluetooth devices. And it's called hciconfig.
~# hciconfig

You can see that its current state is down, which means that it's not able to do anything, so the first thing we need to do to work with Bluetooth is to bring our interface up.
If we have a Wi-Fi interface that's plugged in, but it's not up yet, we can type ifconfig, then the name of the interface, and then up. Since hciconfig is basically the same thing as ifconfig, we can use a lot of the same commands, which you can see in its man page.

BlueZ Nov 12 2002 HCITOOL(1)
Manual page hcitool(1) line 154/176 (END) (press h for help or q to quit)Hcitool is used to both configure and perform various tasks like scans, inquiries, and pulling names. That's really useful to learn about the device, but some of these commands require a MAC address to use them.
Let's take a look at some of these commands. First, we'll do a scan. It will use the Bluetooth interface to scan for nearby Bluetooth devices and present their MAC addresses for us to do additional scans, inquiries, or attempt to get the name of the device.
~# hcitool scan
Scanning ...
00:1D:A5:00:09:1D OBDIIAbove, we see an OBD2 connector which is connected to a vehicle. That's pretty interesting. With the MAC address, we can now we can do another command that required us to have a MAC address in the first place. Let's try getting the name of the device:
~# hcitool name 00:1D:A5:00:09:1D
OBDIIThat should allow us to get the name of the device, but we already knew it from that first scan. If we didn't know it, however, it'll allow us to be able to learn more about it. To learn more, we can use the inq command:
~# hcitool inq 00:1D:A5:00:09:1D
Scanning ...
00:1D:A5:00:09:1D clock offset: 0x21c0 class: ox5a020cNote that it also displays clock offset and the class. The class indicates what type of Bluetooth device it is, and we can look up the code by going to the Bluetooth site. Or, as we will see later, some tools will do it for us.
Step 3: Scan for Services with sdptool
To learn more about services, we can use a tool called sdptool to browse more about what's available on the device and learn about the properties — maybe what we can and can't do. We'll need to use the MAC address again, but first, let's check out its man page too:
~# man sdptool
sdptool(1) General Commands Manual sdptool(1)
NAME
sdptool — control and interrogate SDP servers
SYNOPSIS
sdptool [options] {command} [command parameters ...]
DESCRIPTION
sdptool provides the interface for performing SDP queries on Bluetooth
devices, and administering a local SDP database.
COMMANDS
The following commands are available. In all cases bdaddr specifies
the device to search or browse. If local is used for bdaddr, then the
local SDP database is searched.
Services are identified and manipulated with a 4-byte record_handle
(NOT the service name). To find a service's record_handle, look for
the "Service RecHandle" line in the search or browse results
search [--bdaddr bdaddr] [--tree] [--raw] [--xml] service_name
Search for services.. Known service names are DID, SP, DUN, LAN, FAX, OPUSH, FTP, HS, HF, HFAG, SAP, NAP, GN, PANU, HCRP, HID, CIP, A2SRC, A2SNK, AVRCT, AVRTG, UDIUE, UDITE and SYNCML.
browse [--tree] [--raw] [--xml] [bdaddr]
Browse all available services on the device specified by a Bluetooth address as a parameter.
records [--tree] [--raw] [--xml] bdaddr
Retrieve all possible service records.
add [ --handle=N --channel=N ]
Add a service to the local SDP database. You can specify a handle for this record using the --handle option. You can specify a channel to add the service on using the --channel option. NOTE: Local adapters configuration will not be updated and this command should be used only for SDP testing.
del record_handle
Remove a service from the local SDP database. NOTE: Local adapters configuration will not be updated and this command should be used only for SDP testing.
get [--tree] [--raw] [--xml] [--bdaddr bdaddr] record_handle
Retrieve a service from the local SDP database.
setattr record_handle attrib_id attrib_value
Set or add an attribute to an SDP record.
setseq record_handle attrib_id attrib_values
Set or add an attribute sequence to an SDP record.
OPTIONS
--help Displays help on using sdptool.
EXAMPLES
sdptool browse 00:80:98:24:15:6D
sdptool browse local
sdptool add DUN
sdptool del 0x10000

sdptool(1)
Manual page sdptool(1) line 60/82 (END) (press h for help or q to quit)It lets us configure, control, and interrogate SDP (service discovery protocol) servers. So it's something that allows us to do queries on Bluetooth devices and figure out precisely what is going on with the permissions and what we can probably start to do with those services.
Quit the man page, and let's type sdptool then browse, followed by the MAC address we captured.
~# sdptool browse 00:1D:A5:00:09:1D
Browsing 00:1D:A5:00:09:1D ...
Service Name: SPP
Service RecHandle: 0x10001
Service Class ID List:
"Serial Port" (ox1101)
Protocol Descriptor List:
"L2CAP" (0x0100)
"RFCOMM" (0x0003)
Channel: 1Here, we can see a little bit more information about the communications, the protocols, and perhaps we could even start to discover whether or not there's a vulnerability in the device or if we're able to communicate with it directly. We can maybe even find whether it's using MAC address randomization or something like that.
Step 4: Ping Bluetooth Devices with l2ping
Now that we have the MAC addresses of all the nearby devices, we can ping them with a tool called l2ping, whether they are in discover mode or not, to see whether they are in reach. For me, it's just one device. Before doing so, let's run the man page for the tool just to see everything available.
~# man l2ping
L2PING(1) Linux System Administration L2PING(1)
NAME
l2ping - Send L2CAP echo request and receive answer
SYNOPSIS
l2ping [-i <hciX>] [-s size] [-c count] [-t timeout] [-d delay] [-f]
[-r] [-v] bd_addr
DESCRIPTION
L2ping sends a L2CAP echo request to the Bluetooth MAC address bd_addr
given in dotted hex notation.
OPTIONS
-i <hciX> The command is applied to device hciX , which must be the name of an installed Bluetooth device (X = 0, 1, 2, ...) If not specified, the command will be sent to the first available Bluetooth device.
-s size The size of the data packets to be sent.
-c count Send count number of packets then exit.
-t timeout Wait timeout seconds for the response.
-d delay Wait delay seconds between pings.
-f Kind of flood ping. Use with care! It reduces the delay time between packets to 0.
-r Reverse ping (gnip?). Send echo response instead of echo request.
-v Verify response payload is identical to request payload. It is not required for remote stacks to return the request payload, but most stacks do (including Bluez).
bd_addr The Bluetooth MAC address to be pinged in dotted hex notation like 01:02:03:ab:cd:ef or 01:EF:cd:aB:02:03

Step 5: Scan for Bluetooth Devices with btscanner
Now it's time to move on to the last tool we're going to cover, which is a full-on graphic user interface used to discover Bluetooth devices. It's called btscanner, and once we start it, we can type btscanner. But before doing that, since we've looked at the man pages for the rest of the tools, let's take a quick look here too:
~# man btscanner
BTSCANNER(1) General Commands Manual BTSCANNER(1)
NAME
btscanner - ncurses-based scanner for Bluetooth devices
SYNOPSIS
btscanner [--help] [--cfg <file>] [--no-reset]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution be‐
cause the original program does not have a manual page.
btscanner is a tool designed specifically to extract as much informa‐
tion as possible from a Bluetooth device without the requirement to
pair. A detailed information screen extracts HCI and SDP information,
and maintains an open connection to monitor the RSSI and link quality.
btscanner is based on the BlueZ Bluetooth stack, which is included with
recent Linux kernels, and the BlueZ toolset. btscanner also contains a
complete listing of the IEEE OUI numbers and class lookup tables. Using
the information gathered from these sources it is possible to make edu‐
cated guesses as to the host device type.
OPTIONS
--help Show a help text and exit.
--cfg <file> Use <file> as the config file.
--no-reset Do not reset the Bluetooth adapter before scanning.
BUGS
Please report any bugs to Tim Hurman <tim.hurman@pentest.co.uk>.

April 22, 2006 BTSCANNER(1)
Manual page btscanner(1) line 23/45 (END) (press h for help or q to quit)You can see there's not much to btscanner, and that's because it's a GUI tool, so all of the magic happens after running the tool, so let's do that now:
~# btscanner
Opening the OUI database
Reading the OUT database
The interface might look kind of similar to people who are familiar with the Kismet interface, which kind of allows us to do a lot of stuff in the command-line format with a GUI type of feel. It's beneficial and cool because it means that by typing i, we can start doing an inquiry scan and find nearby Bluetooth devices, and it could allow us to connect or set a command or something like that.
We found a device, and it's the same Bluetooth device we saw before, and I'm sure that we'll be able to find some other devices as they roll in. For now, we can go ahead and press Enter to learn about the device.
Here, we can see the name of the device when it's first seen, the owner, which is interesting, and then some more information about the various features that are being advertised.
To go back to the main window, press Q, and as other devices are discovered, or as they come in range, we can find them here and start to learn more about what these devices are doing, what they're communicating with, what else they are capable of, and more.
If you don't have Bluetooth on your computer, you can always plug in a Bluetooth adapter, but you might want to check to make sure that it's compatible before you go ahead and go through the trouble. I'm not sure that every Bluetooth adapter is going to work with every Linux program.
Above, you can see we found a second device, so let's go ahead and click on it.
We can see that this is a smartphone — a Samsung device — and it has a lot more capabilities and things we could do with it than our first device did. Already, we're able to reach out and start looking at different devices. We can begin to learn about them, maybe the software running behind them, and certainly see the services that they're advertising to understand whether or not it represents a good attack surface.
All of the above is done with a fully updated version of Kali Linux, and we didn't have to install anything. So if you're starting fresh with Kali Linux, it's a great way to use some of the built-in tools to reach out and touch Bluetooth devices around you and begin to learn more about what each one of these versatile and powerful tools is capable of.
What We've Learned So Far
Today, we explored Bluetooth reconnaissance, and there are some more advanced things we can do with this information. Many Bluetooth devices don't bother to randomize their MAC address, meaning it'll be the same all the time. That can be used to track a person from place to place.
For instance, Tile Bluetooth trackers, where you can find a lost item by anybody who has the app running. That means that a person is trackable, and there is no way to turn it off. If you want to opt-out of that kind of tracking, make sure to disable Bluetooth on devices like a cell phone. But for devices that naturally have it turned on, like a Tile tracker, there's no option other than to leave it at home.

When I use the command hciconfig nothing happens. I already turned on my bluetooth using different approches I find on the internet and nothing seems to work.
Hello, I have a lot of Bluetooth enabled devices. For example, Iphone, iPad and Windows computer with Bluetooth adapter plugged in. Why can't I scan any device with hcitool scan.
Is my Bluetooth adapter not strong enough? I use the CSR8510 A10 Bluetooth adapter
