Ubertooth One is a cheap, open-source Bluetooth network sniffer. Unlike Wi-Fi, that has had a far-reaching operation of giveaway network monitoring collection for years, Bluetooth has remained flattering closed. Michael Ossman is about to change this, with his Ubertooth Kickstarter project.
The Ubertooth One is a USB block with an antenna, and a ARM Cortex-M3 processor-based house in-between. Plug it in to your P.C. and you can use it with assorted wireless monitoring collection similar to Kismet. The Ubertooth allows you to use Bluetooth in monitoring mode. This "promiscuous" mode creates the air wave pass all that it picks up onto the horde computer. Normally, wireless receivers will disregard anything not addressed to them. In random mode, you can spot and accumulate information meant for other devices.
These collection may be used for contrast network security, or for hacking. Kismet, for e.g. (and derivatives similar to the Mac OS X chronicle KisMac) may be used to fissure Wi-Fi networks' passwords.
Until now, Bluetooth monitoring hardware would cost ceiling of $1,000. Ossman's device will cost only $100 and, since both the program and hardware are open-source, you can erect your own.
Ossman demonstrated the Ubertooth One at the ShmooCon hackers gathering on Friday. Future program updates will capacitate Bluetooth injection and stretched monitoring modes.
