Bluetooth Hacking

    Bluetooth Hacking (Hacking of Wireless Device). We all have a habit of using wireless technology for our day to day tasks. Whether it be playing songs or whether it be data sharing, we all use wireless technology in a vast amount.

    Wireless technology is present everywhere no matter which device we use. From IoT devices or normal phones, wireless technology is in demand and used everywhere.

    Bluetooth is a part of wireless technology in which Bluetooth is used to exchange data and sync with other devices.

    These devices are used to exchange data with the help of a sender and receiver and also to connect to certain Bluetooth devices with the help of a Bluetooth device and an antenna.

Bluetooth technology generally sends the signals or to the receiving antenna in an encrypted form. But what if these signals are used to hack anyone? Let’s find out.

What is Bluetooth Hacking?

    Bluetooth hacking is the vulnerability in which an attacker captures the packets of a Bluetooth device and alter the signals. Later the attacker can alter these signals while sending it to the receiving antenna and taking control of the Bluetooth device.

    The attacker could even perform or conduct a large range of attacks including- Man in the Middle Attack and Session Hijacking. Also, the hacker can sniff the data which is sent to another system connected to it and exchange it with altered data.

    Also, the hacker gains full access to monitor, intercept and alter any data sent between two devices while connected to the target’s phone.

    Not only altering the data, but a hacker can also pair its malicious Bluetooth enabled Pendrive or any storage device which can extract anyone’s data remotely within the session time.

    Some Bluetooth Hacking tools like BlueMaho, MultiBlue, Bettercap, Blueborne are used to ease the task of hackers. These Bluetooth hacking tools are used to automate the work of a hacker.

    The hacker just needs to establish the connection or intercept the connection and fire up one of these apps. Rest work is done by the apps within seconds without letting the target knowing what is going on.

How to prevent Bluetooth Hacking?

1. Bluetooth hacking can be prevented by just showing some care. Just close your Bluetooth while it’s not in use and you are good to go.
2. Also updating the Bluetooth device would be of great help as provider companies are always concerned about their customers and they frequently roll out updates for their customers to prevent them from the vulnerability.
3. Preventing the use of old Bluetooth devices whose patch is not issued by the manufacturer.
4. Avoiding the use of unpatched devices or avoiding to buy those Bluetooth devices whose software is outdated. You can also check for the companies whose firmware is not updated on websites. There is a great number of Bluetooth manufacturers who have not rolled out the patch for the Bluetooth device vulnerability.
5. Avoiding connections with unknown Bluetooth devices will help as well.
6. Use good 8-Pin encryption as it is hard to crack an 8-Bit Bluetooth Connection.

1. How to prevent Bluetooth Hacking?

    You can just scroll up and see that there is a “How to prevent Bluetooth Hacking segment with relevant solutions. Just read it for the sake of Bluetooth!

2. How to stop Bluetooth Hacking?

    Bluetooth hacking can’t be stopped; it can only be prevented with the use of some techniques and those techniques are listed above.

3. How does Bluetooth Hacking work?

    Bluetooth hacking works with a very basic step which is finding a vulnerable device. After a vulnerable device is found, the hacker requests the target device to connect with it.

    The attacker tries to manipulate and make the target device give up the weak encrypted signal to it. After getting the signal the attacker alters the signal with the use of Bluetooth Hacking apps or manually and then he sniffs all the information which he requires.

    After getting the information the attacker just terminates the connection so that there is no sign of doubt.

4. How do I see who is hacking my Bluetooth speaker?

    You can’t see who is hacking your Bluetooth speaker. If you have access to the firmware of your Bluetooth speaker then there are chances that you can see who has connected your speaker.

    Also, some Bluetooth speakers come with a host visibility option in which the host which is connected to the speaker is seen on the digital panel of the speaker.
