Vulnerability Analysis

This talk introduces several new Bluetooth attack tools and projects focusing on automated pen-testing, obfuscation, Bluetooth profile cloning, war-nibbling, Denial of Service, and mapping Bluetooth device information. We will be discussing what information your Bluetooth devices gives out about you and what you can do about it, a method for more accurate discovery of Bluetooth devices in non-discoverable mode, how to automate your Bluetooth pen-testing, as well as a few exploits over Bluetooth file transfer.

Exploitation and Demonstrations

JP Dunning is currently a Graduate Student in Computer Science at Virginia Tech. Working as a researcher in the Virginia Tech IT Security lab.

Remediation and Defensive Strategies
