Description
The proliferation of Bluetooth in the mobile phone and PDA industries has, unfortunately, brought with it a corresponding surge of security issues and problems. Since the initial "BlueSnarfing" attacks in 2003, there have been a constant trickle of new issues, as each new generation of device hits the market, some with far-reaching consequences for the potential victims.
This course will bring you up to date with all the currently known issues, providing detailed background information and techniques, as well as tools for the auditing of Bluetooth devices for vulnerability to attack.
The instructors of this course have been the leading pioneers in highlighting Bluetooth security issues, and work closely with the industry to help find and eliminate problems, as well as bringing them to the public's attention by speaking at major security conferences worldwide, such as DEFCON, Black Hat and Chaos Communications Congress.

PREREQUISITE WARNING Each class has prerequisites for software loads and a laptop is mandatory. These individual class guides will list material the students are expected have knowledge about coming in and software tools that need to be pre-installed before attending so you get the maximum benefit from the focused intermediate or advanced level course. Please pay particular attention to the prerequisites, as the material listed there will not be reviewed in the courses, and will be necessary to get the maximum benefit out of these educational programs.
Description
1 day course, consisting of a short lecture and demonstrations, followed by hands-on installation of tools and instruction in their use.
Prerequisites
Students coming into this course must know how to configure a linux kernel.
Prerequisite material
Students should bring a laptop with a Bluetooth dongle (for best results, we recommend a Cambridge Silicon Radio (CSR) based dongle, as some of the test tools are chip manufacturer dependant). A live CD will be provided, but students wishing to set up their laptop for ongoing Bluetooth auditing should have Linux version 2.6.10 or greater pre-installed.
